Interesting Picture

This rendition of God's Throne Room was sent to me recently. Hopefully, the picture comes out OK. Below is a description of the artist's rendition, taken from the last Book of the Bible.

Revelation 4

1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 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.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10 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,
11 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.

Scott,

Wow, that's a neat rendition. I've gotta say, it is quite impressive!

Personally, though, I can only wait to see what God's throne looks like. We can only imagine what John saw, and what God has in store for us! Although that artist did quite a great job, I'm sure it will be much more impressive when we all get there!

Thanks!:grin:

 

Try as hard as we might...we can't even fathom what Heaven will be like!!

It's probably just as well...if we knew what it was going to be like - Who would want to stay here??:Brow: I'm sure that's why He gave us a 'built in' desire to stay alive!

 

Scott,

Exactly! I love it!

I forget in which letter, but I like when Paul is "divided" about wanting to die and go to Heaven, but still stay on earth to do the Lord's work. That's an amazing example of Christ-like love!

Eternity...:shock: wow, I can't wait.
