What causes angels to not focus on all that is beautiful in heaven, but on praising God?


Revelation 21:10-21
I was carried away in the Spirit by the angel to a very high mountain. He showed me the Holy City of Jerusalem. It was coming out of heaven from God. It was filled with the shining-greatness of God. It shone like a stone worth much money, like a jasper stone. It was clear like glass. It had a very high wall, and there were twelve gates. Twelve angels stood by the gates. The names of the twelve family groups of the Jewish nation were written on the gates. There were three gates on each side. There were three on the east side and three on the north side and three on the south side and three on the west side. The walls were on twelve stones. The names of the twelve missionaries of the Lamb were written on the stones. The angel had a stick in his hand. It was used to find out how big the city and its gates and the walls were. He found out that the city was as wide as it was long and it was as high as it was wide. It was as long as a man could walk in fifty days. It was the same each way. The angel found out that the walls were the same as a man taking seventy-two long steps. The angel used the same way to find out about the city as a man would have used. The wall was made of jasper. The city was made of pure gold. This gold was as clear as glass. The city was built on every kind of stone that was worth much money. The first stone was jasper. The second was sapphire. The third was chalcedony. The fourth was emerald. The fifth was sardonyx. The sixth was sardius. The seventh was chrysolite. The eighth was beryl. The ninth was topaz. The tenth was chrysoprase. The eleventh was jacinth and the twelfth was amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each gate was made from one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold. It was as clear as glass.






Reading the above passage, it is easy first to keep in our mind the words "a golden reed", "a wall of jasper", "a city of pure gold", "emerald", "pearls" "... But when we inquire how the other stones are, we would be perplexed by such beauty, beauty and wonder!
However, there remains the question of why the angels, this admirable thing does not catch their attention ...
If we want to understand why we go to the Word of God to highlight 3 points of God:
1. God is more Wonderful than all the admirable things we know: Is there anything more valuable than crystal, gold, and precious stones? "I did not see a house of God in the city. The All-powerful Lord God and the Lamb are the house of God in this city. There is no need for the sun and moon to shine in the city. The shining-greatness of God makes it full of light. The Lamb is its light. The nations will walk by its light. The kings of the earth will bring their greatness into it. The gates are open all day. They will never be shut. There will be no night there. The greatness and honor of all the nations will be brought into it. Nothing sinful will go into the city. No one who is sinful-minded or tells lies can go in. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life can go in." (Revelation 21: 22-27) Could we imagine that it would be of our life without the sun?, Yet God is so Admirable that with His Glory He illuminates everything! "At once I was under the Spirit’s power. See! The throne was in heaven, and One was sitting on it. The One Who sat there looked as bright as jasper and sardius stones. The colors like those of an emerald stone were all around the throne. There were twenty-four smaller thrones around the throne. And on these thrones twenty-four leaders were sitting dressed in white clothes. They had crowns of gold on their heads. Lightning and noise and thunder came from the throne. Seven lights of fire were burning before the throne. These were the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, shining and clear. Around the throne and on each side there were four living beings that were full of eyes in front and in back. The first living being was like a lion. The second one was like a young cow. The third one had a face like a man. The fourth one was like a very large bird with its wings spread. Each one of the four living beings had six wings. They had eyes all over them, inside and out. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the All-powerful One. He is the One Who was and Who is and Who is to come.” The four living beings speak of His shining-greatness and give honor and thanks to Him Who sits on His throne as King. It is He Who lives forever. The twenty-four leaders get down before Him and worship Him Who lives forever. They lay their crowns before Him and say, “Our Lord and our God, it is right for You to have the shining-greatness and the honor and the power. You made all things. They were made and have life because You wanted it that way.”" (Revelation 4: 2-11) ... So wonderful is God that they cease not to say to him, Holy, Holy, Holy!
2. God is the only one who gives life: Life, the most precious thing for us and God has it in abundance and gives it to us for free! "Then the One sitting on the throne said, “See! I am making all things new. Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Then He said to me, “These things have happened! I am the First and the Last. I am the beginning and the end. To anyone who is thirsty, I will give the water of life. It is a free gift. He who has power and wins will receive these things. I will be his God and he will be My son." (Revelation 21: 5-7).
3. Every Word that comes out of the mouth of God has no limits or end: How many times we have all impressed by the speech of a speaker? Now, do we imagine an eternity listening to God? But wait ... It's not far ... We have the Bible "Forever, O Lord, Your Word will never change in heaven. You are faithful to all people for all time. You have made the earth, and it stands. They stand today by Your Law, for all things serve You. I would have been lost in my troubles if Your Law had not been my joy. I will never forget Your Word for by it You have given me new life. I am Yours. Save me, for I have looked to Your Law. The sinful wait to destroy me, but I will think about Your Word. I have seen that all things have an end, even if they are perfect, but Your Word is without end. O, how I love Your Law! It is what I think about all through the day. Your Word makes me wiser than those who hate me, for it is always with me. I have better understanding than all my teachers because I think about Your Law. I have a better understanding than those who are old because I obey Your Word. I have kept my feet from every sinful way so that I may keep Your Word. I have not turned away from Your Law, for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet is Your Word to my taste! It is sweeter than honey to my mouth! I get understanding from Your Law and so I hate every false way." (Psalm 119: 89-104)
God has no comparison with absolutely nothing! They do not reach the words to describe how Admirable, Great, Wonderful, Almighty, Worthy, Magnificent, Exalted, Wise, Beautiful is the Lord! To the extent that of how awesome He is, the angels are just saying Holy, Holy, Holy!

Do we long to praise God as well?


God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
