James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 4:10

CASTING THEIR CROWNS‘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.’ Revelation 4:10 The twenty-four elders with crowns on their heads—what are they intended to represent? Not the natural forces, but human life, human life as it ought to be, as it may be, as one day it will be.What do these crowned beings say to us? They remind us of true human greatness. They were not slaves, the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 4:6-8

‘And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. And the first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each of them having six wings, are full of eyes round about and within.

‘And when the living creatures will give glory and honour and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives for ever and ever (unto the ages of the ages), the four and twenty elders will fall down before him who sits on the throne and will worship him who lives for ever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, to receive the honour and the glory and the power, for you created all things, and because of your will they came... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 4:1-11

Revelation 4. The Vision of Heaven.— In this chapter the real Apocalypse commences. A door is opened in heaven and the seer sees the throne of God, flashing like jewels, and surrounded by a rainbow. Twenty-four elders sit on thrones, and with four “ living beasts” offer continual praise and worship to God. Much of the imagery is traditional, and derived from similar descriptions of heaven and the Divine majesty in OT; cf. Isaiah 6:1-Numbers :, Ezekiel 12:4-Hosea :, Daniel 7:9 f. Revelation... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 4:8

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him: the seraphims in Isaiah’s vision, Revelation 6:2, had so; there their use is declared, —with twain he covered his face, with twain his feet, and with twain he did fly. If we understand all the wings here for flight, they signify the readiness of God’s ministers to move every way that God will send them: if we understand them as interpreted by Isaiah 6:2, they signify their various graces, their fear, dread, and reverence of God; their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 4:10

The whole church also paid an homage of reverence and adoration to the same God; acknowledging all the good done to them, or wrought in them, to proceed from God, and the glory of it to be due unto God alone. The ministers of the gospel are, by their preaching unto people their duty, an occasion, or instruments, of that homage and adoration which he hath from all his people. read more

AN INTRODUCTORY THEOPHANYCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESRevelation 4:1. Saw.—Observed, not specially “looked up.” Opened.—Set open. Trumpet.—Revelation 1:10. Which said.—The voice is put for the person speaking.Revelation 4:2. In the spirit.—Implying a rapt state of mind, absorbed wholly in the things now unfolded.
