I begin my daily prayer with “A” (Adoration) in the “ACTS” (Adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication) prayer model that I use. I use the throne scenes in Revelation 4 and 5.

In Revelation 4 John is shown the throne scene with Father God represented by precious, bright stones on a throne, 24 elders on their thrones, 4 living creatures, 7 lamps, lightning and thunder, and a rainbow. The 4 living creatures worship 24/7, saying “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.” The 24 elders bow down and worship, saying “¹¹ “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they  existed, and were created.”

So I begin by worshipping the Father on the throne. But there’s more in Revelation 5. Father God on the throne in chapter 4 has in His hand a sealed scroll that predicts the events to happen soon but no one is found worthy to open the scroll except the Lamb, the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David. Then the Lamb appears by the throne, standing but as if slaughtered (apparently bloody). The Lamb takes the scroll from the Father and will presumably open the scrolls one by one. The 4 living creatures and the 24 elders sing a new song (the song of Moses and the Lamb) and worship the Lamb: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You have made them into a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth.” Then thousands of thousands of angels join the 24 elders and the 4 living creatures in worship: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.” Then every living creature in heaven, earth, or sea begin to worship both the one on the throne (the Father) and the Lamb by the throne: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.” The 4 living creatures say “Amen” and the 24 elders bow and worship.

So I hope this will help you with your daily worship of the Father and the Son. A couple of notes:

The song of Moses and the Lamb. AI: “The Song of Moses and the Lamb is a biblical hymn from Revelation 15:3-4, sung by the redeemed in heaven, combining praise for God’s deliverance (like Moses at the Red Sea, Exodus 15) with recognition of Jesus, the Lamb, for His ultimate victory and salvation, uniting Old and New Testament themes of God’s mighty, just deeds. It praises God as Almighty and King of nations, acknowledging His holy, marvelous, and true ways, and serves as a hymn of triumph over evil. ” Well said, AI, no doubt taken directly from a great article somewhere!

The church is those purchased with the blood of the Lamb who are the new kingdom of God, a spiritual kingdom. All Christians are spiritual priests who offer up to God spiritual sacrifices (1 Peter 2:5-9). Christians are reigning with Christ in this spiritual kingdom now. We are not waiting for Jesus to return to set up a physical kingdom. He never intended or planned to set up a physical kingdom. John 18:36 “My kingdom is not of this world”. Revelation 1:⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood— ⁶ and He made us into a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
