Heaven is for Real Revelation 4-5
 
 “Many interpretations have been given of the four living creatures. As the Holy Spirit was seen symbolically in the seven lamps, probably the four living creatures symbolically represent the attributes of God including His omniscience and omnipresence (indicated by the creatures being full of eyes)—with the four animals bringing out other attributes of God: the lion indicating majesty and omnipotence; the ox, typical of faithful labor and patience; man, indicating intelligence; and the eagle, the greatest bird, representing supreme sovereignty. Another possible view is that they represent Christ as revealed in the four Gospels: in Matthew, the lion of the tribe of Judah; in Mark, the ox as the servant of Yahweh; in Luke, the incarnate human Jesus; and in John, the eagle as the divine Son of God. Another alternative is that the four living creatures are angels (cf. Isa. 6:2–3), who extol the attributes of God.” The Bible Knowledge Commentary 

 "What simpler and more sublime way of picturing God’s ultimate sovereignty over all history could be found than this picture of the scroll resting in the hand of God? However strong evil becomes, however fierce be the satanic evils that assail God’s people on earth, history still rests in God’s hand." George Ladd, A Commentary on the Revelation of John, pp. 82-83.] 

 What Does It Mean to Worship God on Earth as in Heaven? 1. It means we recognize that God is on his throne, and we are not. 2. It means we recognize that God is holy, and we’re sinfully in need of him. 3. It means we recognize that God is eternal, and we are temporal. 4. It means we recognize that God is worthy of all glory, honor, and our thankfulness. 5. It means we recognize that God and his greatness should impact our postures in worship. 6. It means we recognize that God is worthy of our entire surrender. 7. It means we recognize that God is gloriously deserving of being honored as Creator of all things. 8. It means we recognize that God is just and will one day bring about ultimate justice. 9. It means that Gospel contemplation should result in new songs composed for worship. 10. It means the songs we sing to worship God should be God-centered and not me-centered.
