Q2. These chapters contain many insights into worship that have been adopted by the Christian Church. What do you learn about Christian worship from chapters 4 and 5? Don't miss the basics. Your list might include 20 elements and concepts of worship -- or more.

Well there is cerainly a lot to think about in these chapters and I don't think we will ever comprehend the splendor of of God until we are there with Him and it will take all eternity to do that so we will never fully comprehend our God.

Elements and concepts of worship:
in spirit
on His throne
His holiness
His glory
He is omnipotent
omnipresent
He is head of the church (that's us!!)
Creator
HIs will
His worthiness
He was slain and lives
We were purchased by His blood
Men form every tongue tribe and nation(whosoever)
We will serve Him
We will reign through His victory on the cross
He is worshipped by angels and praised constantly for His worthiness
We will bow before Him (fall down)
Everyone will sing to the Lamb Every creature!
He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah
The root of David
We worship with music He loves music that glorifies Him the King of KIngs

"To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be honor and glory and power for ever and ever.

Amen

God Bless

We worship the Lord God Almighty on His throne surrounded by His angels and saints. We will lay our crowns down before Him, for they do not belong to us--they are His and we are unworthy to claim them for ourselves. We join the hosts of heaven when we worship Him! He is worthy of praise and worship, and we worship in songs of praise and joy--both old and new! The Lord Jesus, Who was slain for us, is worthy of opening the book of life which no one else can do, and we praise Him in prayer and exposition. We kneel before Him in worship and praise for His redemption that enables us to be in His Presence! We light candles to remind us of the Light of His Presence in our service, and we carry this light out into the world after the service to signify carrying His Presence with us into our life and friendships in the world that the joy of His Salvation may be spread throughout the world. Worship should proceed in service for Him. Worship that is self-centered and self-serving is not Worship! Worship must proceed in service of He who has saved us.

Oh, just the thought gives me goosebumps it will be so glorious. I know we cannot even begin to comprehend how it will be although chapters 4 and 5 do give some clues. The beauty of the place will be beyond measure and will overwhelm us. When we see HIM we will fall down, overcome. The majesty will be awesome. We will be singing and praising HIM forever, what a wonderful thought. There will be glory, honor, power. We will feel it and will worship HIM for it. There will be singing and praising and playing of harps. Angels will be there singing and praising and worshiping. It will be some time. I can hardly wait.

I think we have a couple of great list so i didmt what to do it again ,I also agree it is going to be the best place ive every beem along with the best music and i think ill throw down my crowns if the Lord Jeuse gives them to me then i must be worthy of them someone said that we werent worthy to wear them but i belive anything that Jesus gives to us we should use it or take care of it an i belive we see here that there will order in his place

____________________________________________________________

Three outbursts of praise and worship are directed toward Christ and the Father. (1) The beast and the Elders praise the Lamb for having redeemed them. (2) Angels also praise the Lamb for His Golry and Wisdom. (3) All of creation worships both the Father and the Son. As we come to know Christ in all of his glory, we should praise Him for all thing's. Prayer being the only way to communicate with God, we need to pray every day thank him, and praise Him for the Blessing in our live's.

The thing that most impressed me was the absolute freedom and joy in the worship. Things we find in our worship services are: falling down and worshipping the Lord, laying down all crowns before Him, praises constantly going forth, reading of the Word, weeping, music, prayers, worship in the Spirit, God on the throne, candles, surrender, giving honor and thanks, shouting for joy.

What John finds on the other side of the open door is what happens on earth, worship, on a Sunday, (Spirit on the Lords Day). The worship involves 4 actions: centering, gathering, revealing, and singing. The brilliant throne and shimmering sea the elders, angelic beings, even singing points toward the center.
The 24 around ther throne take off their crowns and show submission to God. They hold bowls of incense which represents prayers. They are a group of representatives which churches have today as their ruling bodies.
The saints, living creatures, and angels around the throne are heavenly beings but also suggest these are heavenly authorities who are Gods innumerable administrators, officials, and servants as those counterparts on earth to do the bidding of the Great King.
These creatures also function as perpetual worship before God. We also sing our praises to God and Jesus in song and end our services with a loud AMEN! We give praise to both God and the Redeemer as equal in majesty.
We celebrate Easter as Christ was slain as the sacrificial lamb and is honored in heaven as on earth thru whom we have eternal life. We can triumph over life because of the blood of the Lamb,who was worthy because of his sacrifice as Messianic king to open the seals.

Just to add a few insights.
The invitation - "Come up here!" (4:1)
Purity of worship - (4:4)
Light - (4:5)
Thanksgiving - (4:9)
To worship the Living God before his throne will be awesome.

Worship and praise begins now
All things must be done in Spirit and in Truth
Fellowship will be in heaven also
Every knee shall bow before God
He is the Head of all things... final authority... One Worthy; Jesus

each one of us who believe and follow the Worthy One; Jesus are made up of the mulitudes of what He calls the Bride/Body.

The other lists and posts were good to read

Love in Him, Helen/sunshine

A Divine Majesty
Father and Son are worshipped cause of who they are and what they have done
(Creation and Redemption). Christ alone is worthy to judge the earth. Christ is a root of David, a Lamb, all powerfull, all knowing with all authority and perfection, we humble ourselves, worship, praise and give glory to Him, by prayer, singing and witnessing.

The point of Rev.chapter 4 is,I believe is summed up that all creatures in heaven and earth will praise and honor God because he is the Creator and Sustainer of everything.I believe the reason Christ showed John the vision of heaven so he could tell the people what heaven is really like,so the people would not fear the things of the world.We worship Jesus,The Lamb of God who takes away "all"the sin of the world.
Through true worship from the heart and a church in unity,"Draws the Holy Spirit into your worship"Shows Up"as some would say.As the Holy Spirit moves in the mist of your worship,miracles happen.
In Rev. chapter 5 Shows us only the Lamb Jesus Christ is worthy to open the scroll (which are the events of history).Only Jesus holds the future.
Receiving from the word,hearing from God as we worship.Worship ,and the presence of the Holy Spirit draws us into repentance to have us be worthy ourselves and holy.Salvation for all.

Christian worship is a time for worship and praise. I've learned the one must be humble before the Lord. We must believe that the Lord is God who has all authority. Prayer is essential. There is singing and praising a God who is worthy of all praise and worship.
LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE lORD.

First thing I saw was constant worship. It should be our priority, to always worship Him.

Give Him honor, glory and praise.

Worship with song.

To be humble in our worship, remembering the awe of God.

The parts of worship I see are giving Jesus glory, honor and praise. Also, singing, praying, and falling down before him (as when we kneel to pray and simply falling down to worship Him! What a glorious day it will be!!!!!
