Revelation 5:14

Revelation 5:14. And the four living creatures said Amen, and the elders fell down and worshipped. The four living creatures give the solemn assent ‘Amen;' and it has been well observed that they do so in order that the whole service of praise in chaps. 4 and 5, after it has reached its widest extension, may return to the point from which it started at chap. Revelation 4:8. Lastly, the elders fall down and worship in silent adoration. The heart of the Church is for the moment too full to speak: she can only worship in unutterable gratitude and praise.

Thus ends the series of visions contained in the third section of the book, carrying us in thought to the close of all, and, before we enter on the Church's struggle, assuring us of its glorious issue.
