1. The Open Door
Revelation 4:1-11

2. This “Door” is the Way to God
Jesus is the Way, the Truth & the Life
Jesus is the “Door” we enter through
His voice is like the “Trumpet of God”

3. John is Called up to Heaven
He sees God on His heavenly throne
His appearance was like “Jasper” and “Carnelian”
The rainbow encircling His throne is a symbol of eternal life

4. The 24 “Elders” They represent the Church in heaven
Their “white clothing” shows purity and righteous works
Their “crowns” are rewards for believers

5. A View of God’s Throne The “7 Lamps” are a symbol of the Holy Spirit
The “Sea of Glass” shows us the peace we’ll have in Heaven
Lightning and Thunder are signs of God’s Judgment

6. The 4 “Living Creatures”
They are also mentioned by Ezekiel and Isaiah
Their “eyes” show alertness and awareness
Their faces represent the “Faces of Christ”

7. Laying our “Crowns” at the Throne
We will be in constant worship
Jesus is worthy to receive Glory, Honor, & Power
He created all things according to “His Will”
He created us and He saved us
