Revelation 4:9-11
_ _ The ground of praise here is God’s eternity, and God’s power and glory manifested in the creation of all things for His pleasure. Creation is the foundation of all God’s other acts of power, wisdom, and love, and therefore forms the first theme of His creatures’ thanksgivings. The four living creatures take the lead of the twenty-four elders, both in this anthem, and in that new song which follows on the ground of their redemption (Revelation 5:8-10).
_ _ when — that is, whensoever: as often as. A simultaneous giving of glory on the part of the beasts, and on the part of the elders.
_ _ give — “shall give” in one oldest manuscript.
_ _ for ever and ever — Greek, “unto the ages of the ages.” |
Revelation 4:9-10
And when the living creatures give glory — the elders fall down — That is, as often as the living creatures give glory, immediately the elders fall down. The expression implies, that they did so at the same instant, and that they both did this frequently. The living creatures do not say directly, "Holy, holy, holy art thou;" but only bend a little, out of deep reverence, and say, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord." But the elders, when they are fallen down, may say, "Worthy art thou, O Lord our God." |
Revelation 4:9
And when those beasts (c) give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
(c) God is said to have glory, honour, kingdom, and such like given to him, when we godly and reverently set forth that which is properly and only his. |

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation 7:11-12 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, ...
