Next are the 24 elders, “Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and they had crowns of gold on their heads” (Revelation 4:4). We have to keep in mind that John is using limited human language and understanding to describe things that are beyond human comprehension. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald” (Revelation 4:3).įrom the throne was lightning, thundering, and voices while before the throne he sees a sea of glass resembling crystal (Revelation 4:5-6). We first get a description of God’s throne and the appearance of God himself, “…and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. Chapter 4 is largely him describing what he sees.

John uses the number seven with so many different symbols which should be understood in a symbolic way. Finally, there are seven mountains and seven kings (Revelation 17:3, 9, 10).
And a beast with seven heads (Revelation 13:1), and seven angels having seven vials containing the seven last plagues (Revelation 15:1, 7). Also there is a dragon with seven heads and seven crowns (Revelation 12:3). In addition, there are the seven angels with seven trumpets (Revelation 8:2), and the seven thunders (Revelation 10:4). Also, there is a book with seven seals (Revelation 5:1), the seven horns and seven eyes of the Lamb (Revelation 5:6). 16), and seven lamps of fire (Revelation 4:5). The number “seven” in the Revelation is seen frequently. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills” (1 Cor. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. The designation “seven” implies the variety of the gifts by which the Holy Spirit works through man. The fact that these seven Spirits are before God’s throne of “him which is, and which was, and which is to come,” implies also readiness for His prompt service (Revelation 4:2–5). The association here of the “seven Spirits” with the Father and with Christ, as the spring of the Christian’s grace and peace, means that they represent the Holy Spirit. He said, “Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne” (Revelation 1:4). The apostle John wrote from the island of Patmos to the seven churches in the province of Asia.
