Revelation Chapter 4
IN THIS LESSON
Do you know that we humans are wired to worship? Understanding this basic human nature can help you grasp this passage. However, some questions remain. What do the four living creatures, resembling a lion, an ox, a human, and an eagle, signify? Why are there 24 elders praising God? And what did casting crowns before God mean in first-century Asia Minor under Roman rule?
