Revelation 4:9 Revelation 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, And when those living creatures give glory that is, when the ministers begin to worship God in the church by celebrating his praise; attributing all glory and honour unto God the father, son, and holy spirit, and give him thanks for all spiritual blessings, and temporal mercies received from him that sitteth upon the throne, who liveth forever and ever.
