"And the twenty-four elders, and the four animals, fell down," signifies humiliation of heart on the part of the angels of the higher heavens; "and worshipped God who sitteth upon the throne," signifies worship of the Lord, who has all power in the heavens and on earth; "saying, Amen, Alleluia," signifies who in truth is alone to be worshipped and glorified. "And a voice came out of the throne," signifies unanimity of the whole heaven; "saying, Praise God, all ye his servants," signifies the worship of the Lord by those who are in truths; "and ye that fear him," signifies the worship of the Lord by those who are in the good of love; "both the small and the great," signifies all those who are in truths and goods in every degree.
