Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 4:1-11
Revelation chapter four begins with the Greek word "meta autos". And the first verse begins and ends with the same Greek words. The words literally from the Greek are "after these things". So as we come to this phrase, "after these things," our minds should flash back to chapter Revelation 1:19 ,where the book of Revelation was divided into three basic divisions. "Write the things which you have seen, the things which are, and the things which will be after these things", "meta autos". So... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 4:1-11
It is proper here to assist the reader with a key to the sublime visions about to open, which has been furnished by the profound study and observation of learned men in the churches of France, Germany, and England. The events of providence, in a succession of ages, have given holy men superior light in those studies, beyond what the fathers of the primitive church could possibly attain. After consulting those authorities, many of whose names have already been mentioned in the introduction to... read more

Revelation 4:1-11Behold, a door was opened in heaven.The open doorI. The open door.1. The place where the open door was seen: “In heaven.” This implies several important things.(1) The changed sphere of operation.(a) The “golden lampstands” represented Churches, not in heaven, but on earth.(b) The “seven stars” represented the pastors of those Churches.(c) Now the seer’s attention is called from the condition of things on earth to a condition of things in heaven.

Revelation 4:9-11The four and twenty elders fall down … and cast their crowns before the throne.Royal homageI. The saints in heaven are all crowned. How is this?1. They are all kings, Dei gratia. There is not a king in heaven that has his crown on any other terms than this, “by the sovereign grace of God.”2. But, though it may seem astonishing, they are all kings by hereditary descent. They have been born again, and it is in their new nature that they are before the throne of God.3. They are... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 4:7-8
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.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 4:8
Revelation 4:8 (with 1 John 5:20 ) Preached on Trinity Sunday. To-day we are called upon to keep the festival of revelation. Every other great festival of our Church commemorates a fact through which God has been pleased to teach men something of His purpose of love; Trinity Sunday encourages us to reflect for a brief space on that final truth, most absolute, most elementary, most practical, which gives unity and stability to all knowledge. The view of the Divine nature which it offers for... read more
