The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on
the throne, (that is, before God,) and worship Him that liveth
for ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power;
for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they
are, and were created.
The great danger of not knowing the day of visitation.
Luke xix. 41-44.
And when He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over
it; saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this
thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now
they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon
thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and
compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side; and lay
thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee: and
they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
