Revelation 4

This week at my church, the worship leader held an event where we watched a Louie Giglio sermon called "Indescribable" and then responded together to what we had seen and heard with a period of extended worship. It was pretty incredible, and it all just screamed Revelation 4 at me. It was just one more representation of how the Son is already eternally glorified and YHWH has already won. The kingdom is breaking through all around us, and I can't even imagine what it's going to look like when we see it in full!

I'm reminded again of what Steve said this weekend: I am absolutely drunk with irrelevance, but in the best of ways. Just like Darrell said this week: Look! Behold! And in looking - in seeing His glory and power and therefore your own smallness - do not be afraid.

Check it out:

At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someOne sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and canelian.

A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne.

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.

Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

Day and night, they never stop saying:

Holy, holy holy is the LORD God Almighty
Who was, and who is, and who is to come!

You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for You created all things,
and by Your will they were created
and have their being.
