Some Thoughts (Revelation 4:8-11)

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

(Revelation 4:8-11 KJV)

I see two things here:

  • The beasts praised first, and prompted the elders, so maybe creation cause us (humans) to praise the Lord?
  • Humility: those elders cast their crowns before the Lord. Are we doing the same thing?
