Crystal indicates the magnificence, precious purity, and beauty of His Throne and Being as with verse three (Rev.In conjunction, water also means that He supplies us with all we need (Ex. These images indicate that all that exists is submissive to God's supremacy, and He has victory over all that oppose Him. Elsewhere, this image of water and worship is found when the Red Sea ( Sea of Reeds) was parted by God, as was the Jordan River's parting (which was actually a greater miracle). This is an image of worship, as the temple had the " Bronze Sea" referring to the "basin" in the heavenly temple (Rev. Church and worship are not about what we feel we need or desire rather, it is about Christ and what He intends. Revelation is about His church and that we run it His way, worshipping Him alone. We are called to open our eyes to His wonder and worship Him solely ¾ not our ways and trends, and not our pride and feelings. 6-8: Revelation is not just about what will happen in the future, but also what is happening now with the practice of our faith and how we lead our church. He wants our obedience and veneration over all else (1 Sam. Real worship is how we reverence Him, not how we sing about Him. This does not include only praise and song it means putting Him first in all that we do in life. There is no one greater He deserves our wholehearted worship and reverence. He has the right to rule and dictate His decrees over us ¾ over all, because He is the One who created everything. An earthly king holds court by force and control, whereas God has earned the right to be in command, and He alone is worthy. John explains His Throne Room in terms of earthly metaphors of earthly kings, except that an earthly king thinks he is in control and deserves the veneration of his subjects. This is about how we come before God, because He is the Supreme and Sovereign Lord over all.
John gives us a picture of worship, as God is exclusive and pure.
