"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."
Four and Twenty elders and four beasts together form an entity to indicate the twin aspects of our calling. We are priest-king set apart before the foundation of the world. We entered into the rest of God and these two are set as memorial before the throne. "Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,/And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever"(Rev.1.5-6) How well do we worship God in Spirit and truth. These four beast show. "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." The heart is a spiritual space, an altar where we have one language and one speech so when four beast do priestly service before the throne, the elders, fall down in worship. Faith with works in heaven is the template for us to emulate."And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,'/ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,/Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."(vv.9-11). They 'rest not day and night'so their activism is entirely taken up for the glory, honour and power of the Lord. Instead the spirit of Balaam makes Evangelicals set up strang gods in high places as the Israelites of old.
