God has told us all about heaven that is necessary to bring us there; and if he had revealed more, it would have served rather for the gratification of our curiosity than for the increase of our grace. Charles Spurgeon

• There are 24 elders in white with crowns sitting around the throne.

• Flashes of lightning, rumbling and peals of thunder come from the throne.

• Before the throne were the seven spirits of God.

• Before the throne was a sea of glass.• Around the throne, on each side of the throne,

are four living creatures.

The Father is the center and source of all creation. Everything points to and revolves around Him. He occupies the sovereign place of rule and has unshakable authority over all things. His sovereign rule is fixed, permanent, and unshakable.

Chuck Swindoll
