The voice coming from the throne is God’s voice. He commands what is our greatest joy and our greatest privilege.
‘All ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great’ – that is not two different groups of people, but the same group considered in two different ways. They are his servants, and they revere him – two things that we keep in balance here in this life. Some people revere the Lord and they love him and worship him, but they don't do anything for him. They are not necessarily at his disposal; they don't necessarily witness; they’re not necessarily zealous in service. That’s a shame. Some people get it the other way round. They are very zealous and very active, but do they love him enough, and revere him enough? Both are in balance here.
