Jude - Revelation 17

For as weird as Revelation is there is a lot about worship in it. It's because this book of prophecy articulates some of the activities in heaven. Worship is obviously described then.

One of the hallmark phrases of worship in general is found in Revelation 4. This chapter describes an incredible scene with thrones, gemstones, creatures...it's really crazy. There is a group of creatures that are commissioned to continually cry out a phrase as they worship God.

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty - the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come."

I love the way time is described in this statement. To think - we have the opportunity to worship God who has always been, who is now, and who will be in the future. That simply baffles me. I'm thankful for God's power, omnipresence, and overall magnificence.
