There is a crisis of worship in the modern church. The average Service centers so much on the horizontal life of the Christian that the experience of awe in worship, the feeling that we are in God's presence, is often lost. The church as the throne of God, the minister mediating His presence the same way as the heavenly beings in this chapter, is one antidote to this failure of worship. Christians must experience God in his glorious splendor, and few passages are better than this for that purpose. To prepare us for the declaration of judgment ahead, God shows the worthiness of Jesus Christ to take rulership over the earth and to judge it.
