Session 11 — Before the Throne of God Above [Revelation 4] — March 28, 2021 I. God’s throne is in the midst of the heavenly temple in the New Jerusalem – and stands as the holiest place in the universe. II. All that we see in the earthly realm is merely a copy and shadow of the true substance of things not seen in the heavenly realm. III. Contrary to popular opinion, John’s vision of heaven has nothing to do with the pre-tribulation rapture of the church. IV. The 24 Elders represent God’s kings and priests who sit on the divine council, serve in the holy temple and rule with Christ in His kingdom. V. Seraphim/Cherubim are throne guardians who belong to the highest ranking order of angelic beings and who dwell in closest proximity to God’s glory! VI. Because God alone is supremely holy, He alone is forever worthy receive all honor, glory, worship and praise! [see Psalm 145] Personal Application ➡ Let us forever praise JESUS – the King of kings and our Great High Priest — and live holy lives before Him. ➡ Reme
