After seeing Christ among the golden candlesticks and delivering His messages to the seven churches, John receives another vision. Those who faithfully use the knowledge God gives will receive even more. This vision reveals the glory and order of heaven and God’s rule over all things. v. 1 : John says, “After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven” (Revelation 4:1 ). This shows that all things that happen on earth are first planned in heaven. We can only know what God chooses to reveal to us.

v. 1: John says, “After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven” (Revelation 4:1 ^a). This shows that all things that happen on earth are first planned in heaven. We can only know what God chooses to reveal to us. John hears a voice like a trumpet calling him to come up and see what will happen in the future. This reminds us that true access to God’s presence is only possible by His invitation, and we should wait for Him to call us.
