As John receives this prophecy on the island of Patmos, on the Lord's day, he hears the voice of a trumpet. This is the voice of the Lord, when He calls for the Church to "come up hither" in the rapture. The Lord is telling John what will happen after the Church age is over,and that in heaven there is the throne of God. The seven lamps of fire, are the seven spirits of God. The twenty four elders, are the 12 tribes of Israel, and the 12 Apostles. The four living beast, are before the throne, and the say Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come day, and night. The Lord Jesus, who is the Lamb of God, who was slain, and is seated on the right hand of God. This gives us a picture of what praise and worship will be like in heaven. As Jesus is preparing to take the title deed of this world, and rule forever as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The rainbow, speaks of the promise God has made, that the kingdoms of this world, will become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God for our Lord almighty reigns.
