Elevated above all the visions of chapters 5 to 22, beyond the sea of glass, is the Almighty on the throne. Before the throne are seven burning lamps. The Almighty is praised from the four sides by the four living creatures. Twenty-four enthroned elders encircle the Almighty's throne. Right in the midst is the lamb, stood as though he has been slain. This is giving rise to the elders' new song and to reverberant accolades for the one sitting enthroned and for the worthy little Lamb. [chapters 4 and 5]
As we study Revelation, we must always have this vision elevated before us.
