Revelation 4:6 — Meaning and Application

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. {rest...: Gr. have no rest}
