[§47] Rev 5:1-4: The Book with Seven Seals

This podcast explains the meaning and imagery of John the Revelator in Revelation 5:1-4. In these verses, John’s vision of celestial paradise continues from Revelation 4, but now he sees God the Father on the throne with a book (scroll) in his right hand having seven seals. The meaning of the scroll and its seven seals is discussed in detail as well as the meaning of the strong angel who asks the question of who is worthy to open the book and loose the seals. No man was worthy to do so, because only a God (Jesus Christ) had that power. Revelation 5:1: 00:02:25 Revelation 5:2: 00:50:54 Revelation 5:3: 00:59:56 Revelation 5:4: 01:02:47

[§46] Rev 4:11: God the Father Glorified As the Creator of all Things

This podcast explains the symbolism and meaning of John the Revelator’s vision found in Revelation 4:11. This last verse in Revelation chapter 4 explains why the Four Beasts and 24 Elders in this chapter are worshiping God the Father as the ultimate source of all creations in the universe.

[§45] Rev 4:8-10: The Beasts and 24 Elders Worship the Creator

This podcast discusses and explains the symbolic images of John the Revelator in Revelation 4:8-10. The images include the “Four Beasts” that rest not day and night as they utter the trisagion (holy, holy, holy) to God the Father seated on the throne in paradise. He is declared to be the “Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” After the Four Beast glorified God, the 24 Elders (representing exaltation-worthy saints) also fell down or prostrated themselves before the Father and cast their thrones toward God in homage and respect for the Father’s creative enterprises.

[§44] Rev 4:6-8: The Four Beasts Represent All Creation in Paradise

This podcast explains the symbolic images used by John to describe paradise in heaven in Revelation 4:6-8. These images include the four beasts who represent all of creation. They are full of eyes before and behind representing their intelligence and omniscience to see things past, present, and future. The beasts (or living creatures more accurately) have symbolic faces of a lion, a calf, a man, and a flying eagle. Their power of movement and ability to carry out the works of God was represented by the six wings on each image. The beasts were also full of eyes within representing their power to discern their own eternal destiny. Revelation 4:6: 00:01:41 Revelation 4:7: 00:27:48 Revelation 4:8: 00:46:50

[§43] Rev 4:6: The Sea of Glass Reflects Conditions in Paradise

This podcast discusses the symbolic meaning of the images described by John the Revelator in Revelation 4:6, including the images of the throne of God that stood before the sea of glass like unto crystal. This podcast sets forth various reasons why John’s vision in this verse refers to paradise in the postmortal spirit world where disembodied spirits go to prepare and wait for their resurrection rather than the celestial kingdom of resurrected persons.

[§42] Rev 4:5: God’s Throne of Judgment and the Seven Lamps

This podcast explains the symbols used by John to describe the throne of God in heaven that John saw in Revelation 4:5, including the lightnings, thunderings, and voices that John saw and heard. His verse also includes the images of seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. These seven spirits are the same seven spirits from Revelation 1:4, which represent the seven leaders from the seven churches of Asia following their mortal deaths.

[§41] Rev 4:4: 24 Elders Sit on Thrones in Paradise

This podcast discusses and explains the symbols used by John the Revelator in his vision of paradise in Revelation 4:4, including the symbol of the throne of God surrounded by 24 seats (thrones). These thrones were occupied by 24 Elders clothed in white raiment and crowns of gold on their head to represent their exaltation-worthy status in paradise.

[§40] Rev 4:2-3: John’s Vision of the Throne of God in Heaven

This podcast explains the meaning of the symbols in John’s vision of paradise in Revelation 4:2-3. John sees these symbolic images while “in the Spirit.” The images include a throne set in heaven on which God the Father is seated. His glory is described in symbolic term as a jasper and a sardine stone. There was also an emerald-colored rainbow round about the throne, representing life and the mercy of God. Revelation 4:2: 00:01:14 Revelation 4:3: 00:21:43

[§39] Rev 4:1: A Door in Heaven Is Opened to Reveal Things Hereafter

This podcast explains John’s vision of paradise in Revelation 4:1, where he was beckoned by the voice of Jesus Christ to come up hither through an open door leading to heaven. The symbols of this verse are interpreted including the voice that sounds like a trumpet and the meaning of “things which must be hereafter.”

[§38] Rev 4:1-11: Overview of John’s Vision of “Heaven” [Paradise]

This podcast provides an overview of chapter 4 in the Book of Revelation with an emphasis on the meaning of the word heaven. This podcast explains that heaven is synonymous with celestial paradise in the postmortal spirit world where the spirits of the righteous and just go to await their resurrection into the celestial kingdom. In this chapter John sees celestial paradise as of 96 AD, which is the date of his vision on Patmos island. Various reasons and explanations are given as to why this is not a vision of the celestial kingdom for resurrected persons.
