Feet On the Ground,Eyes towards Heaven

Jesus prayed for you and me!That is such a wonderful thought to take in.He saw us many years before we existed and made mention of us,who will believe based on the words of the apostles.John 17 focuses on the power and the means of being one with Jesus. 1.Jesus lifted his eyes towards heaven,the physical location of the Father.One important detail to note was that his feet were still on the ground.We should be heaven looking foot soldiers ,with our feet to the ground.To do the will of our Lord,which is to play our part in the salvation of many of our fellow human beings. 2.Jesus in His prayer expressed the reality of being in the world,our feet on the ground,but not being of this world our mental disposition.Should we be abstract in our world approach? No!Should we be worldly,No!What then should we be. 3.We should be in a relationship with Jesus.He defines it as being one,with Him,one with God,and one with each other.Being one with Jesus is eternal life,being in a relationship with Him.John 17:3,Life eternal is Knowing Jesus,The only true God. 4.Enter the mechanism of this relationship ,it happens through an in dwelling.The Holy Spirit.The revelation of God to man and His power are all revealed in This relationship process.Therfore ,it goes without say that the word of God is central in the relationship. 5.The word of God is the basis for transformation.Mental renewal to give us a heavenly disposition,with feet on the ground.The word of God is the only means of being in Jesus,and Jesus in us. 6.The only way to have feet in this world for Jesus,is to enter a relationship,with The Father,Jesus,the Holy Spirit.

History of the Nations: The French Revolution 1793 Case

1.)Ellen G.White in the book Great Controversy, Chapter 15 an authoritative author on religious matters clearly states that if you don’t want to study the bible to see how God interposes in the affairs of humanity, just study the history of the nations. 2.) Revelation 11:1-13 provides one fascinating prophecy that has already been fulfilled. I encourage the reader to verify the conclusions drawn. I will not justify all of them. All I encourage is a careful recheck of the facts and the conclusions I will state. There are several historical sources in libraries and on the internet that will help you confirm this prophecy and its fulfillment. 3.) The focal point of this prophecy is Revelation 11:8.The two witnesses are the old and the New Testament. To be concise, the bible. The word of God. The French Revolution of 1793 has greatly influenced what we see today as modern democracies or republics. Basically a nation without a King and a Bishop (Pope) as a part of its civic composition. That was unheard of up to that period. The sovereignty of the people. Self governance. This is where a declaration of the rights of the citizens or constitution was practiced, though on an on-off basis. However, there was a dark side in the rejection of the Bishop (who misrepresented God) and all matters of worshiping God, including the bible. The system of the papacy was also anti biblical and was infact severely injured by its own policy that fully manifested its self in the French revolution. It is interesting to note that it was a French General Napoleon in 1798 that marched on Italy and arrested pope Pius the 6th. 4.) The French Revolution is well documented. The execution of King Louis and his wife. The creation of the first ever guillotine, an effective beheading machine which could never descend fast enough to chop off heads of hundreds of thousands of people executed on the basis of suspicion and hear say. I am yet to get an accurate figure of exactly how many people died during what the historians have confirmed was called the "Reign of Terror."Paris literally flowed with blood according to historical accounts. I wonder if this stuff is still being taught in schools. 5.) The fundamental cause for the French revolutionary social chaos was a clear and outright national embrace of atheism. This was unheard of in prior history. I believe that’s the very reason God made sure we get this prophecy. The "National Assembly" some form of parliament stood together to outlaw God and the bible. Not before long the mass killing and social upheaval ensued. The bible was banned for three and a half years. Worship was accorded to a "Goddess of Reason" and later a "Supreme Being." Worship was a civic matter. The week was changed from 7 to 10 days and the years were no longer named in reference to Christ but in reference to the revolution date. The so called enlightenment blinded all the revolutionaries to the fact that the Huegenots, Protestants and bible reformers, in the 14th century who lived according to the bible, who were killed by the King under the direct instigation of the Papacy, were the drivers of development in the arts and the sciences which France had hitherto achieved. It’s amazing to realize that by banning the bible from being in the native languages and reaching the people, all in an attempt to attain a religious despotic hold on the populace in Europe, the Roman Catholic Church was burnt by its own flames, traced to the French Revolution. 6.) I am convicted that the greatest lesson all nations of Europe and across the globe learnt was that the Bible and God can never be dispensed with, be it at individual or national level. Neither should matters of religion, of the free conscience of a human being be linked to state instruments of coercion just like the state model the Roman Pontiffs actively built up with the Kings of Europe. The democracy we now know in the form of the United States of America was built on the lessons learnt from the mistakes of the French revolution.Yes, build a nation based on the sovereignty of the people, a nation without a King or a Pope, but I emphasize a nation under God. A nation that focuses on freedom of religion and a clear separation of religious matters from the state. A nation that understood the difference between liberty and license as opposed to the French revolution. America shaped its nationhood during the contemporary period of the French revolution. Think about it. It is also amazing to realize that soon after the revolution (1st) many bible societies came up in Europe. 7.) The two witnesses were killed, in the great city spiritually called Egypt and Sodom. The symbolism here used in revelation defines what France became over those three and a half years. Egypt through Pharaoh questioned the very existence of God and his authority and why he should let the Israelites out of Slavery. France took that note.Atheism.Sodom we all know what Sodom became. Remember Lot and his family. Sexual license and a focus on sensuality.Sex with anyone, male or female. Feasting and delighting the senses. Here is a quick quiz, what is the global capital of romance? Where is arguable one of the best places to dine on the globe? Paris, the global capital of Romance. I am not anti romance, but I am anti anti-God designed romance. A committed relationship between one man and Woman. Many civilizations show this social symptom as they begin to collapse. Sexual license, not freedom, and the destruction of the family unit. I challenge you to study the nations, even the contemporary ones. 8.) National revolutions, riots, protests can be traced to a single source. Despotism fanned by the hatred or a neglect of the bible. All the way from New York to Cairo and in between, it is all evident. Lack of respect of bible based people soverignty, liberty, freedom of conscience and expression. 9.) Contemporary news be it economic, political or social. From gay rights, capitalistic despotism to rampant crime are all saying one thing. Beware of the French revolution anti bible and Jesus tendency. Just ask yourself, why did communism fail? The answer is what’s playing over again. The elevation of human reasoning above the bible and God."Vive Raison" as the French would say. Reasoning capability is a gift from God. Reasoning must be devoted to and be subservient to God.Thats why he says, Isaiah 1:8 "Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah; though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. (MKJV) The Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar learnt the same lesson. He thought that his reasoning had built a great empire and God took it (thinking capacity) away from Him from 7 years. He lived like an animal. This is what he had to say on his return from an exile away from reasoning. Daniel 4:36 "At that time my reason returned to me. And the glory of my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned to me. And my advisers and my lords came for me, and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. (MKJV) "Vive Raison" yes, but Bible based reasoning. Be aware of the French Revolution. Study the history of the nations.

Reading in between the lines

Reading in between the lines is a common statement.It is profound.The truth is ,sometimes when we need to understand a situation,an important issue, we can not allow our minds to be exercised on what is put forward as a front.We need to think deeper and beyond what is apparent to the eye and the casual observer.Let me put it this way,if someone comes out at you angry and abusive,have you stopped to read in between the lines?What are they angry about and why are they being so abusive?Here is a text i was taught many years ago and its meaning is always unfolding.Take a look at this contemprary english version translation . Galatians 5:19-23.People's desires make them give in to immoral ways, filthy thoughts, and shameful deeds.They worship idols, practice witchcraft, hate others, and are hard to get along with. People become jealous, angry, and selfish. They not only argue and cause trouble, but they are envious. They get drunk, carry on at wild parties, and do other evil things as well. I told you before, and I am telling you again: No one who does these things will share in the blessings of God's kingdom.God's Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful,gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.Reading in between the lines.If we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, as our friend.If we yield our egos to Him,we shall have the Holy Spirit come into our hearts and kick start into operation behaviours that make us really nice people to be around.The contrast is pure abandonment to the "flesh" "human nature,taken advantage of by evil angels.i.e demons," this makes us people who are not easy to get along with.The spirit of force ,coersion,disresctfulness,lies,manipulation can only find its source from whom our Lord Jesus called the Father of lies,the Devil or Satan.Therefore when ever you are confronted by this attitude from others or even from yourself.Stop, silently call on Jesus in your heart to let the Holy Spirit,take over your heart.However you have to yield it.I cant find the right words to express it.I am sure you know that grip on your emotions that says i am not backing down.Just yield, backdown and let the Holy Spirit take your will and give it back to you with a clear understanding of what is written in between the lines.If you dont back down ,you play into the hands of the devil.He will want to gain control of your will and you may never get it back if you let him in too often.Oh dear friend.The world is not as what it seems to be.There is more written in btween the lines.Praise God,he gave us Jesus to take us through life's script.

Thirsty?

There is one figure who stands out in the history of humanity.His outstanding nature is not an accident.Its is because he is God with us.Emmanuel.He came as God clothed in Humanity.He came to make the greatest invitation ever given to man.Lets consider one way in which he framed it.Yes, he had many ways by which he illustrated his invitation and his qualities of being the basis of the leader of the human race.Leading us from this condition which we all know too well.A condition that results in the world's haves and have nots.One that precipitates wars that rip limbs off and also equaly rip families and the fabric of a a peaceful society apart.Our leader out of the bondage ,the real bondage of sin is Jesus the Christ. Jesus makes an outstanding call.The setting was at the feast of terbanacles in the Jewish temple built after the very pattern of the "temple" in heaven.He stood in the middle of the people and called out,"If any one thirsts let him come unto me and drink,He who believes on me as the scriptures say,shall have streams of living water that flow from within."(John 7:35-37)Amazing.I can not think of any man in the history of humanity making such a claim.Faking the claim perhaps yes,but it being tried and tested and proving to be true,no.Jesus the Christ stood in the temple ,the Jewish temple and made this clarion call.That call certainly resonated beyond the very walls of that temple.It took on a geographical dimension as Paul went acrosss Europe and Asia declaring that,"I am crucified with Christ,yet not i lives but Christ lives in me.""For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain."That call took hold of the hearts of men and women who attended that feast and were in the temple.The call has been far reaching to all generations that have lived beyond the time of Jesus,beyond the culture that surrounded him.I am writing this blog,because that message came right through to me in this day and age.There is only one who can satisfy the longings and the desires the thirsting of the human being.It is Jesus.The words of Jesus make up Jesus.Its is the words that he spoke that bring life,and come alive in us. The principles that Jesus taught,when accepted not just by the interlect but by a personal heart felt faith in Jesus, shape up a life,a family and a community that is a formidable force and testimony to the life giving principles of Jesus the Christ.The society as it stands today,has come to realise that even chasing the "American dream" can leave you out in the cold with the 99%.The last frontier of man made theories is about to unfold before our very own eyes.There will be one solitary voice that rings through out the ages.Ringing beyond those temple walls,doors,and windows from over 2000 years ago. Take My words,they are the water of life."If any one is thirsty let him come to me and drink."

Did you know this?

The Dark Ages and the Supremacy of the Papacy. AD538-1798 (The Bishop of Rome ascends to become "King") Illustrated by this coroborated quote in the book Great Controversy and a circular historical citation from the Wikipedia.This was basically tatamount to the current pope Benedict instructing the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to step down. A striking illustration of the tyrannical character of this advocate of infallibility was given in his treatment of the German emperor, Henry IV. For presuming to disregard the pope's authority, this monarch was declared to be excommunicated and dethroned. Terrified by the desertion and threats of his own princes, who were encouraged in rebellion against him by the papal mandate, Henry felt the necessity of making his peace with Rome. In company with his wife and a faithful servant he crossed the Alps in midwinter, that he might humble himself before the pope. Upon reaching the castle whither Gregory had withdrawn, he was conducted, without his guards, into an outer court, and there, in the severe cold of winter, with uncovered head and naked feet, and in a miserable dress, he awaited the pope's permission to come into his presence. Not until he had continued three days fasting and making confession, did the pontiff condescend to grant him pardon. Even then it was only upon condition that the emperor should await the sanction of the pope before resuming the insignia or exercising the power of royalty. And Gregory, elated with his triumph, boasted that it was his duty to pull down the pride of kings. (GC page 58) Investiture Controversy Main article: Investiture Controversy In order to secure the Church's support for his expeditions in Saxony and Thuringia, Henry adhered to Papal decrees in religious matters. His apparent weakness, however, had the side effect of spurring the ambitions of Gregory VII, a reformist monk elected as pontiff in 1073, toward Papal hegemony. The tension between Empire and Church culminated in the councils of 1074–1075, which constituted a substantial attempt to undo Henry III's policies. Among other measures, they denied secular rulers the right to place members of the clergy in office; this had dramatic effects in Germany, where bishops were often powerful feudatories who, in this way, were able to free themselves from imperial authority. In addition to restoring all privileges lost by the ecclesiasticals, the council's decision deprived the imperial crown of almost half its lands, with grievous consequences for national unity, especially in peripheral areas like the Kingdom of Italy. Suddenly hostile to Gregory, Henry did not relent from his positions: after his defeat of Otto of Nordheim, he continued to interfere in Italian and German episcopal life, naming bishops at his will and declaring papal provisions illegitimate. In 1075, Gregory excommunicated some members of the Imperial Court and threatened to do the same to Henry himself. Furthermore, in a synod held in February of that year, Gregory clearly established the supreme power of the Catholic Church, with the Empire subjected to it. Henry replied with a counter-synod of his own. The beginning of the conflict known as the Investiture Controversy can be assigned to Christmas night of 1075: Gregory was kidnapped and imprisoned by Cencio I Frangipane, a Roman noble, while officiating at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Later freed by Roman people, Gregory accused Henry of having been behind the attempt. In the same year, the king had defeated a rebellion of Saxons in the First Battle of Langensalza, and was therefore free to accept the challenge. At Worms, on 24 January 1076, a synod of bishops and princes summoned by Henry declared Gregory VII deposed. Hildebrand replied by excommunicating the king and all the bishops named by him on 22 February 1076. In October of that year a diet of the German princes in Tribur attempted to find a settlement for the conflict, conceding Henry a year to repent from his actions, before the ratification of the excommunication that the pope was to sign in Swabia some months later. Henry did not repent, and, counting on the hostility showed by the Lombard clergy against Gregory, decided to move to Italy. He left Speyer in December 1076, spent Christmas of that year in Besançon and, together with his wife and his son, he crossed the Alps with help of the Bishop of Turin and reached Pavia. Gregory, on his way to the diet of Augsburg, and hearing that Henry was approaching, took refuge in the castle of Canossa (near Reggio Emilia), belonging to Matilda. Henry's troops were nearby. Henry's intent, however, was apparently to perform the penance required to lift his excommunication and ensure his continued rule. The choice of an Italian location for the act of repentance, instead of Augsburg, was not accidental: it aimed to consolidate the Imperial power in an area partly hostile to the Pope; to lead in person the prosecution of events; and to oppose the pact signed by German feudataries and the Pope in Tribur with the strong German party that had deposed Henry at Worms, through the concrete presence of his army. He stood in the snow outside the gates of the castle of Canossa for three days, from 25 January to 27 January 1077, begging the pope to rescind the sentence (popularly portrayed as without shoes, taking no food or shelter, and wearing a hairshirt - see Walk of Canossa). The Pope lifted the excommunication, imposing a vow to comply with certain conditions, which Henry soon violated. Gregorovius, Ferdinand (1988). History of Rome in the Middle Ages.

Un-understood value

I struggle with understanding what value God attaches to me.I think i understand but when i stop to reflect i see that my conceptualisation falls far short of comprehending who exactly i am in Jesus Christ.David gave it a shot.Psalm 8:3,4 "What is man that you are mindful of him."I remember thinking about this text when i was about 11 years old.What makes me so important that you even are concerned about me.Who am i?What am i?Can any one out there break it down to me.David made a comparison with the works of creation that a grand and mighty God made.He looks at the sky and sees the vast expanse of what God had made and amazingly wonders ,wow,what am i that you even bother to visit me!You stoop down to look for me.The God of the universe.The master of the universe.Creator God.Who am I?It is now 22 years down the line and here i am writing to you all.I have gotten to know more of the world,i have made a lot of mistakes.But guess what?I have time and again been rescued by God.He has proved himself to be even more mindful of me as the years roll by.You know what? It has left me with an even bigger,"Who am I?" Where am i getting to with this rounded and winding writing.The point is i cant figure out the love of God.Who can?I grew up in quite a structured way.Very religious,but when i look back i ask my self.I had lots of good exteriors and my life went like a swiss watch.'A" student.Good at sports.Got great jobs.Got married.Why would God not want to hang out with a not so bad chap like me?Thats where my Lord Jesus had to open my eyes.I had one nagging sin.You know the one that easily besets us.It grew into a monster and leveled me to the ground.I was left alone,no high flying job,no wife.Just me and my stinking sin and Jesus next to me.I had exterior goodness, but had a huge struggle inside me.I was listening to Dwight Nelson today and he called it Al Qaeda.Internal self terrorism.I terrorised my self and did stuff i thought,in the midst of tears,why did i do that?I would wail bitterly oh God,Lord Jesus i cant do it,i am a no good.I need you to change me.Jesus came and kept on seeking me.I had gotten to the point of getting an understanding of what i mean to Him.He kept my evils a secret,forgave my sins and told me He loves me!Who am i?Oh good news to reflect on,i am his dear child.Created and redeemed.Romans 8:15,i have been given a sprit of adoption.I can say Daddy "Abba" "papa" to the Master of the universe.He loves me because i am his very son,His child.Not just that i am a co-heir with Jesus Christ.Do you know what that means?I am royal and eligible to being on the throne God has given and Jesus has made a reality through his death on the cross,i was supposed to die on to pay for the sins that He forgives me of.Oh such love!I cant figure it out.One thing that i know is that i cant do anything else but melt in my insides and say I love you Jesus.Work inside of my heart.Because i cant make my self right.All i can do is love you! And guess what?Even if He did not make me royal.I would still love Him all the same.Who can put a value to such love? Who can resist such great love?I cant!Neither can i figure it out. One song my Dad taught me and my brother when we were little.I only got to know the meaning 30 years later.It goes,"Oh friend do you love Jesus?Oh yes i love Jesus!Are you sure you love Jesus?Yes i am sure i love Jesus.Tell me why do you love Jesus?Because he first loved me!Thats the reason we all ought to love Him.Oh how i love Jesus!" I cant figure out my value,for God in Jesus to be willing to die for me!This i know and may never ever fully comprehend.He first loved me!

The Throne Room

THE THRONE ROOM Revelation Chapter 4 and 5 Preamble We live in the last days. We should take time to know and wrestle with the scriptures. (Read Chapter 4 quickly and state observations for study) i. Introduction John the revelator gives us a remarkable glimpse into the throne room of the universe. John takes us right to the centre of the universe. Right to the point where the existence of the whole universe literally revolves. Lets explore the sights, sounds and smell of this throne room. Let us for the next few minutes exchange places with John and let our senses interact with the presence of Gods throne. ii. Revelation 4:1(Heaven and the Open door) The location is in heaven. What is seen is an open door. It is not shut, it is not just a door it is an open door. This suggests that Gods throne is accessible; he has an open door policy. Rev 3:8 And behold I have set before yo an open door which no man is able to shut. The first thing John emphasises is that there is an open door to the throne of God. Hebrews 4:16 Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence and indeed why not when the door is open. What problem do you face today, enter the open door and talk to God in prayer. iii. Revelation 4:1 (Jesus the tour guide in the throne room) Moving along with John, he hears the voice like the trumpet. The one he heard at first. Whose voice is it? Revelation 1:10-13. The Son of Man, Jesus. Jesus invites John to come along with him. He wants to show John the things that must happen. Take note .At the heart of the book of Revelation is worship. At the heart of the great controversy is worship. At the end time it will be all about worship. Before going further into the book we are taken to a special place. iv. Revelation 4:2,3 (The throne and him that sat on it) Behold a throne, was set in heaven. One sat on the throne . He that sat on the throne looked like Jasper stone. A gem stone. He looked like Sardine stone. Gems show lots of dazzling colour. Ezekiel 28:13,God is not selfish in his creation he shared some of his attributes. It makes me wonder why we are races of all colours. We come from him who is made up of dazzling colours. Rainbow around the throne and in sight looked like an emerald. v. Revelation 4:4 (The 24 Elders around the throne) Around the throne were twenty four seats(KJV).The RSV says thrones. There are 24 elders who sat on those thrones, they wore white raiment / white garments. They had golden crowns on their heads. Daniel 7:9….Following through the rest of scripture there is a clear indication that robe represents the character of Christ. These elders could they be Enoch, Elijah, Moses? Job 29:14 “I put on righteousness..” We will get yet another clue from what these elders say later in this study. vi. Revelation 4:5 (The energy in the throne room) Here we encounter some sound. Flashes and display. Out of the throne proceeds lightning, thunder and voices. Great sounds, great sights. Lots of energy. God is the source of all energy.”All our energy starts with him” Energy can not be created/destroyed but is converted from one form to another. Einstein discovered this E=mc2 . All the energy we use are conversions that originated from God. There are seven lamps of fire burning in front of the throne. The seven Spirits of God. Rev 3:1,Rev 1:4,Rev 1:20 There is a relationship among these elements the sevens, the seven lamps, the seven stars the seven spirits, the seven churches. I love this. At the centre of Gods governance at the centre of Gods throne are his people. You and me. Gods church through out the ages. I can imagine when God looks at the 7 burning lamps ,the 7 spirits he is thinking of me and you and he sends out a an angel with a message to his people. They work silently, humbly but deliver messages of love and hope to the Churches. vii. Revelation 4:5 (The sea of glass, the platform waiting for humanity) Before the throne there is as it were a sea of like a crystal. John uses imagery to describe this sea. Also see Revelation 15:2-4... This could be the platform on which those who are saved will join in. Why does John single out the sea of glass that looks like crystal? Perhaps he conveys a subtle message in the beginning of revelation that there are some people missing in the throne room, but their place is preserved. Worship has started but we are waiting for (name People) to come and stand on the sea of glass. viii. Revelation 4:6,7.8 (Eye filled living creatures) This is where the excitement sets in as we see the throne room. Four beasts (KJV)/four living creatures (RSV) full of eyes in front and behind them. John uses imagery to describe these creatures (the challenge is to check scriptures to see how the symbols of these creatures have been used: Living creature 1-looks like a lion Living creature 2-looks like a calf/(ox RSV) Living creature 3-had a face of a man (a human face) Living creature 4-looked like a flying eagle Each of these creatures has six wings; those wings were full of eyes within. ix. Revelation 4:8 (The worship session begins) They do not rest but day and night saying, “Holy,Holy,Holy” “Lord God Almighty which was and is and is to come. Three times and accurately so. The trinity, our tri unison God. Time is devided into three parts. Past, present and future why three parts .because God eternally exists (from the eternal past), self existent God, in the present and will exist into eternity, and he invites you and me to exists with him into eternity when he comes again. Have you ever wondered why all things that exist on earth in three states. All matter what ever it is exists is three states. Three. (Holy.Holy,Holy) .Solid state, Liquid state and gaseous state. Like we observed and this is proof, a clear pattern and evidence in nature that all creation takes the 3H pattern, the three Holies pattern. (You will see why this is important in this worship session) x. Revelation 4:9,10,11 (The reasons for worship is revealed) Note these key words: Worthy, glory, honour and power. The reason…”Thou hast created all things” The 3H pattern Rev 5.There is another object of worship, who in reality is the same as the first, the Lamb who is worthy to open the book and the seals there of. The reason for worshiping him we shall read. Rev 5:6, 7, 8(smell, prayers of the saints, our prayers in the throne room of God),9(Redeemed us, the 24 elders are humans who are thankful for redemption, could they be Moses, Enoch, Elijah I challenge you to study and find out)10,11,12,13 Two objects of worship here the one who sits on the throne and the Lamb (Jesus) Note the similar words for worship. Blessing, honour, glory, power… This is one good piece of evidence that Jesus is not jus a mere prophet like our Moslem friends believe or a junior partner in the God head like our Jehovah Witness friends believe. He is GOD. Two reasons for worship. Creator and Redeemer. Does your lifestyle show worship day and night in the way you live; the eating, drinking walking to whom does your life give glory. The sea of glass in front of the throne says there is a vacant space waiting for you. Who wants to stand with me today and say for sure by the grace of God and through faith I want to go and stand on the sea of glass and take up my place in God’s throne room of worship . “And the four beasts said Amen”
