Morning Bible Study: Revelation 4: 8-11

8  Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty- the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come."
9  Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever), 
10  the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say, 
11  "You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased."  NLT


(the following is from www.easyenglish.bible)

"Verse 8 Each creature had six wings. The wings show the speed with which they obeyed God. The eyes made them aware of all that was round about them.

Day and night the four creatures praise God. They cry aloud that God is holy. They praise him for his power. Nobody else has power as strong as his. He is the God of all power. They praise him because he is God. He is the only God. There is no other real god. He has no beginning of life or end of life.

Verses 9-10 The four creatures praise God because he is always the same. God was there at the start of time. He will be there after time has ended.

As the creatures praise so the elders fall down in front of God. They throw down their crowns as an act of worship. They give all honor to God.

Verse 11 The elders speak to God. They praise him for all that he has made. God made all things that exist. Because of this, God deserves to have all glory, honor and power."
