Chapter 4 provides a deliberate contrast from the chaos of earth to the control of heaven.

Please note that the church is not called to heaven, just John.
This is not a picture of the rapture of the church just the ongoing process of revelation for John.
John becomes our eyes and ears in a place where we can’t immediately experience.
What is the significants of the image John sees first in heaven?
The Throne is central to John’s picture of heaven.
The central truth of Heaven is that God has all authority.
This reminds me of psalm 103:19
The central truth of Heaven is that God has all authority.
These churches needed to know that there was a power greater than Caesar’s Power!
Those seven churches that John was writing to needed to know that God is on the throne.
He has all authority over the issues in our lives, our world, our church.
He has all authority.
Rev 4
How man tribes of Israel?
12
How man Apostles of Jesus?
12
This is probably a representation of the Covenant People of God made up of both Old and New Testament Saints.
The Spirit of God is present in heaven.
In biblical literature the sea often represents chaos.
That is why Israel feared the sea.
But this is a picture of tranquility and calm.
There is no chaos in heaven - there is perfect peace.
The sea doesn’t toss and foam and rage - it is as glass.
Worship is central to John’s picture of heaven.
The four beings probably represent the creatures of God’s creation.
In heaven worship is perpetual.
9
In heaven worship is humble.
Rev 4
In heaven worship is central.
What is centerstage in heaven?
Worshiping the one on the throne!
Central to John’s view of Heaven is God’s plan of redemption.
No one can move God’s plan of redemption to consummation.
This is a picture of a scroll with multiple seals to enclose it.
We see desperation.
The most fundamental question of all time is “who can save, who can redeem, who can deliver?”
5-
We see jubilation.
Christ comes into focus and with him hope for God’s redemptive plan.
What does the image of Christ as a standing-slain lamb mean?
6
It means that the work of Christ alone moves God’s redemptive plan forward.
9-
It means that in heaven both Father and Son are worshipped.
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb is an expression worship of Father and son as equals.
