Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with
eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop
saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and
is to come.” – Revelation 4:8 (NIV)
We often think of heaven as a pleasant, even sedate place. But the
Scripture paints a very different picture. It seems that ethnicity is
eternal, for John’s vision had people from many different tribes and
tongues.
It is filled with fantastic creatures like the ones this
passage describe. But most pronounced in the midst of this is a greater
sense of the majesty of God. Heaven is a place where God’s holiness is
seen fully and that holiness causes such a response that all of heaven
can’t help but worship. To be caught up in worship on earth is only a
primer of what awaits us in heaven.
