WORSHIP IN HEAVEN
A poem by ILMA
Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven
The same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast
It said “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.”
Instantly I was in the Spirit, and saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it.
The one sitting on it was as brilliant as jasper and carnelian
From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder
And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames
This is the sevenfold Spirit of God; in the throne was a shiny sea of crystal.

Around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes
The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second, an ox
The third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight
Each of these living beings had six wings, and kept on saying
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—
the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”
“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory, honor and power
For you created all things, and they exist for you created what you pleased.”

MEMORY VERSE
And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it.
– Revelations 4:2
Read: Revelation 4
This account of John the apostle gave us a vivid picture of what worship in heaven looked like. What a sight! It clearly gave us an illustration of the things we will witness in heaven, how everything will give praise, glory and honor to the Almighty and one and only God.

REFLECTION
• After the picture of true worship in heaven was described here in Revelation, how can you be constantly expectant of this hope of the glory to come?
