OK, this is starting to get wild. Verse 5 talks about flashes of lightning and peals of thunder. Verse 4 introduces us to 24 elders dressed in white with crowns of gold on their heads. In verses 6-8 we find a sea of glass and meet four living creatures. The living creatures have eyes all over their bodies, and resemble a lion, ox, man and an eagle. They each have six wings and again, are covered with eyes all over their entire bodies, even under the wings (v. 8).
We see the elders and the living creatures worshiping God continuously. One wonders, is this something that will happen in the future, or is this something that is currently happening in some other realm?
Reading chapters like Revelation 4 remind us that our God is so far beyond what we can conceive or imagine, which makes it all the more breathtaking that He reached out to us when we rebelled against Him and made a way for us to live in perfect community with Him as part of His family.
