Revelation 4: Significance of the Elders, Visions of Divine MajestyThis document provides a spiritual interpretation of Revelation Chapter 4, focusing on Significance of the Elders, Visions of Divine Majesty; visions of heavenly worship and spiritual symbolism. It discusses the throne of God, the significance of the twenty-four elders, and the creatures around the throne, exploring themes of divine majesty, worship, and spiritual revelation.

Revelation 4:1 

After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, “Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.” 

S This is the beginning, then, as you become aware and enlightened to the extent of knowing and having the knowledge and wisdom in the acts, then, of meditation and through meditation. For this is the trumpet; this is the voice. 

Revelation 4:2 

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 

S This is the rising, then, to that which is becoming, then, in meditation, as part of the Christ Force, being lifted up and meeting then God on His throne, or in that aspect within you of the Christ being aware of you and you aware of the Christ, as you approach then the Holy of Holies within your own being on your way to that which is the assumption of the resurrection, the awakening, and the truth. 

Revelation 4:3 

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 

S You have here, then, that which is as jasper, as sardine, which are the same mineral, and yet represent here the two aspects that you must act in and be as jewel-like (to radiate the glory that is the rainbow of God) in the healing that is the green of the spirit and of that which is the physical-mental man, being the two, then, stones – brother stones, and yet not alike. For as you act and become, then you become and act. This is the path, or this is the word that you must work with and act upon and with. You must be, then, as He that appears as the two stones. For Jesus acted as He believed, and believed as He acted – the spiritual, mental, and physical beings becoming one and balanced as the One. If you cannot do this, you cannot go any farther to that which is the enlightenment. 

Q Are you telling us one of the stones is action and the other stone is belief? 

S Correct. One, then, is the physical representative and one as representative of the spirit. Neither should be classified with the tag of sardine or jasper or any of the other names of the chalcedony – which they are. 

Revelation 4:4 

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 

S Thus the mental awareness meets the 24 cranial nerves, raised to that which is the spiritual level as assumed, then, by the crowns. These, then, are the governors of the body-physical, the body-mental, now in that which is the proximity to the crown that is the throne where Jesus the Spiritual is intuned. 

Revelation 4:5 

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 

S These, then, are the raising of the seven spiritual centers before that which is the incoming Christ, meeting that which is you and your Christ image within at that time, the voices of the supplications of your own spiritual body, your own soul and its thunderings in its pleadings, its love, its need of that which is God. 

Revelation 4:6 

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. 

S These, then, are the actions that you come upon daily, as reflected, then, before the throne. These, then, are the choices that you have made, and do make. These are the opportunities that come your way. These, then, are the supplications, the prayers of cleansing, by action rather than word, that you have lived, that you have done, that you are. The beasts are those things that see, that know, that record, and in truth they represent here, then, that which you would assume to be the akashic records, past and present, and the dawning of the future, as reflected in, then, that which is the crystal. 

Revelation 4:7 

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 

S The four beasts represent man in four stages as to that, then, which is the courage and power of the lion, the grace and beauty of the cat, the forwardness and understanding of man, being then those, then, which would lead to that which is the soaring of the eagle or the release of the soul through that, then, which is the cleansing and use of those higher centers of the body.

Q Is that supposed to be “cat” or “calf”? 

S Calf and cat were as one. For they were those who were seen as the lied beast and then that which was the sacrificial animal, as the calf became one, and then separated after that which was the exodus from the land of the Egyptian where the continuation of that which was as worship of the cat remained, and the sacrifice of the calf continued through that which was to be the exodus and the settling in the lands of Canaan. 

Q What is meant by “the lied beast” when referring to the calf and the cat? 

S They were lies or lied. They also were a state of consciousness which in the vernacular is lied. And also, that which was a state of being for time, colloquially. As we see it, the expression or its derivative is from the colloquial, meaning to lie over or to spend time, so they lied. 

Q Does that also have anything to do with them being the type of animals that lie on their haunches? 

S As seen in that which you would have among the sphinx or the many sphinxes in Egypt or that which you would see as the man-beast of Syria, of Asshur, and of other places in that which you would term as the Middle East. [10-114] 

Revelation 4:8 

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.”

S This is a representation of the six stages that man must attune and attain to. This is the rising of the six centers within selves that has been given before to you, that you must at the time of attainment be in a stage where all you think, act, and do, is as a prayer to God. Holy, holy, holy. For it is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

Revelation 4:9 

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 

S For there is the understanding then that the deeds, the prescription of deeds, and the following of same, is that which lives forever; that the Christ Force, the spirit within yourselves, live forever. For time is naught, but that of God is all. And then when you have attuned and attained to the level of the understanding of this, and that all is a music to God, and all is supplementing that which is the worship of God, the joy, the manifestation of life in yourselves, will go on for ever and ever.

Prayer – Channel 

Father-Mother God, we open our hearts to You, seeking guidance, comfort, the joy of fulfillment, the happiness of giving to others, and the wonder of Thy love. Be with us now as we seek to find the path, to be as helpers of Thy will in this world. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Christ, our Elder Brother. 

Source 

Seek first the kingdom of God in faith, love, charity; and all things then will fall into purpose, into force, into peace. Act, then, in faith. For it is that which will make you whole and one with Him that is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. For the Lamb has shed His blood for thee to feed the souls that call forth, to light the darkness, to give the path, to open the eyes and the ears, that all might know the way of the Lord and see the day thereof. 

S We have the forces of love, truth, and beauty. And we offer, then, peace, guidance, and understanding for those that would seek to see and know the face of God. 

Revelation 4:10 

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, 

S You have this, then, which is the assumption within yourself of the spiritual supremacy: (that) the body and that which corrects, controls, and distributes the forces within the body and the mental conditions falling down, before, then, that which is the spiritual nature or the spiritual tuning of the body. That which are the crowns, then, are worship, meditation, and prayer. 

Q Could you tell is what is meant by worship? 

S Worship is that which attunes the entire body to the presence of the Lord, that all that is all that will be is aware and awakened to that which is the law, the love, the truth. 

Revelation 4:11 

“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.” 

S This is establishing the very force or rule that is the control, or controller of that which are your endeavors within this plane. God has created all things, all manner of things. Selves are part of creation and owe, then, life to God, and must realize that all things begin and end in God, and therefore adjust the understanding of all things physical, mental, and spiritual in that which is the Source of all things – God.
