In Rev 4, John hears again the "same voice" of Christ who tells him now " I will show you what must happen after these things". John saw a vision of the throne in heaven and "someone sitting on it". He describes the throne as " brilliant" with gemstones and gold and from the throne came "flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder". There also are four living beings around the throne , which appeared to be like a lion, ox, eagle, and human face. It seems that these beings represent attributes of God, such as power, strength, majesty, and intelligence. All of these beings were worshiping God , singing praises of "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty". In verse 11, John concludes with " You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created."
