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

[1] And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
[2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
[3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
[4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
[5] And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

  I am always amazed when finding   scriptures describing IN both the same things , in the old and new testments/    in Jesus own blood it is sealed !! a disposition, arrangement, of any sort, which one wishes to be valid, the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will

a compact, a covenant, a testamentHbr 9:16 ¶ For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 


Hbr 9:17   For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 


Hbr 9:18   Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 
Hbr 9:19   For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 


Hbr 9:20   Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 


Hbr 9:21   Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 


Hbr 9:22   And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 


Hbr 9:23 ¶ It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 



Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

it is BEAUTIFUL !! :dsunny:

Isa 6:1 ¶ In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 
Isa 6:2   Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 


Isa 6:3   And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 
Isa 6:4   And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Pleasure... same Greek word translated as "will" actually, the Greek word is translated only one time as "pleasure"...all the other times "will"

Rev 4:11
Our Lord and God, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because You have created all things, and because of Your will they exist and were created.

Eph 1:9-10
God revealed His hidden design, which is according to His will and the plan that He intended to accomplish through His Son.  This is what God planned for the climax of all times:  to bring all things together in Christ, the things in heaven along with the things on earth.

1 Tim 2:3-4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior
Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.


Beautiful?   full of beauty!!

among my notes:
11 Chron 20:21  "...He appointed singers unto the Lord, and that they should praise the beauty of holiness..."

To demonstrate the beauty of holiness, here is what they actually sang;  "...Praise the LORD, for His mercy endureth forever."

The holiness of God actually overflows with kindness, compassion, love, gentleness, and mercy!  We learn this from the pages of the Scriptures themselves.  We see this clearly within the context of our passage.  God's holiness is associated with divine mercy.

...

In closing, we will recall that God's holiness is predominantly connected with His Saviorhood!  He is the compassionate and loving Savior, because of His holiness... not in spite of it!

========================
I had been thinking about posting this.  This morning as I was reading Sheila's encouraging response re:  mercy upon all and eaglesway's  one word response Beautiful ... I felt a strong urge to share again my notes on beauty of holiness=God's mercy on all

Rosered... bless your gracious and generous sharings...  always, so God glorifying and joyfully shared with us. 

Isaiah 6:3 always reminds me of Hab 2:14   For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
