Apocalypse Revealed (Coulsons) n. 665

665. [verse 4] 'Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy Name?' signifies that He Only is to be loved and worshipped. By 'to fear God' is signified to love Him, and by 'to glorify His Name' is signified to worship Him. That He Only is to be loved and worshipped is understood by Who shall not' and by 'for Thou Only art Holy'. That 'to fear God' is to love Him by fearing to do what is against Him, and that this fear is in all love, may be seen above (n. 527, 628). 'To glorify His Name' is to worship Him, because by Jehovah's 'Name' is signified everything by means of which He is worshipped (n. 8i), and by 'to glorify' is signified to acknowledge and confess.
