In His Presence

Kevin K. Chapman @ Grace Community Church

 

Rev. 4:10-11 (NKJV)  

the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and

worship Him who lives forever and ever,

and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

11“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power;

For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”

 

Our God who is like

Jasper and Sardis in appearance and

Wrapped in a green rainbow!  Indescribable!!!!!

1)       THE ETERNAL GOD!

Rev. 4:8  And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

2)       THE WORTHY GOD!

 

WORTHY of  WORSHIP!

Rev. 4:10-11 (NKJV)  

the twenty-four elders . . . 11“You are worthy, O Lord, . . . .”

 

1 John 2:28-29 (ESV)

28  And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

29  If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

Job 42:5-6 (ESV)

I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

 

Revelation 4:8 (ESV)

8  And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

 

Revelation 5:8-14 (ESV)

8  And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9  And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,
10  and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
11  Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12  saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
13  And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
14  And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Isaiah 6:1-8 (ESV)
1  In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2  Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3  And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
4  And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5  And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
6  Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7  And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
8  And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.
