(Revelation 4:8) And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (Revelation 4:9) the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (Revelation 4:10) "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."
