  - Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man…
  - Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

He that Hath and Ear

Humans and Angels

Revelation 5:11-13 10k*10k&ks&ks a human and angels praised the Lamb and the one on the throne (when we praise Christ we are praising God for giving Him life and sending Him for us). Remember Psalm 22:3 says God “inhabitest the praises of Israel.”

    - - Will this be part of how the earth will be lightened with God’s glory? (Revelation 18:1)

The Clarification of God and His Son Jesus

Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

“Those who believe in Christ and walk humbly with Him, not striving for the supremacy, who watch to see what they can do to help and bless and strengthen the souls of others, co-operate with the angels who minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation. Jesus gives them grace and wisdom and righteousness, making them a blessing to all with whom they are brought in contact. The more humble they are in their own estimation, the more blessings they receive from God, because receiving does not exalt them. They make a right use of their blessings, for they receive to impart.

The ministering angels receive instruction from the throne of God to co-operate with human instrumentalities. They receive the grace of Christ, to give it to human beings. They are commanded to impart to Christ’s disciples the spirit and power essential for the success of the work.” 13LtMs, Ms 165, 1898, par. 7-13LtMs, Ms 165, 1898, par. 8
