Open Doors
We have already read of the transportation of Elijah to the Kingdom of Heaven: this example is one of dynamic activity. As we also read, Elijah did not just sit in the Kingdom of Heaven, spending all of eternity just performing the function of praising God; this is not the sole duty of regenerated humankind. The LORD God has a particular category of creation that operates this fashion.
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 show thee things which must be hereafter.And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.And thefirst beast was like a lion, and the
second beast like a calf, and the
third beast had a face as a man, and the
fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
(Revelation 4:1-8)The LORD God also has a category of creation that performs periodic praise of His name, and periodic display of His glory.
