Let the Name of God be Blessed

The twenty-four elders signify the heads of 12 tribes of Israel and 12 Apostles. Twenty-four is a holy and lucky biblical number. They form twenty-four elders of the Churches. Their being seated on the thorn with crowns signifies their authority. They are in heaven to praise God twenty-four hours a day. God is praised unceasingly on twenty-four hours of the day, i.e., at every moment. We are invited to praise God unceasingly on earth and in heaven.

The four beasts with six wings refer to Man representing the Gospel of Mathew; the lion the gospel of Mark; the calf the Gospel of Luke and the eagle the Gospel of John. The word of God is praised worshipped and lived. The word of God is living and powerful. The Prayer is “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” “Worthy are you our Lord and God, to receive glory, honour, and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”

Are we aware that our life is to give praise to God?
