My memory tells me there will be a lot of chanting going on. I think I will try to gather them as we go. In Chapter 4 we have two examples. There is some theology in these chants. The first centers on the holy and eternal nature of God.
(Rev 4:8 KJV) 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.There are only two places where you get the three holies. The other is in Isaiah 6:3.
Then we have a major reason to worship God.
(Rev 4:11 KJV) 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.If you don’t know what the eys, wings and horns are all about then you can focus on the glories of our God. I will join you there.
