Revelation 19:4: And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

Revelation 19:1-3 describes a great multitude of redeemed people in heaven as of the Second Coming who unite in one great voice to praise Christ for his victory over Modern Babylon.¹ This great multitude will include the four and twenty elders (24 Elders) first identified in Revelation chapter 4, who represent the exaltation-worthy saints that lived and died in John's time during the fifth seal.² They become part of the great multitude of exaltation-worthy saints in John's second vision of celestial paradise in Revelation 7:7-9,³ and they are numbered among the 144,000 Servants that stand with Christ on mount Zion in Revelation 14:1-3.⁴

The four beasts first identified in Revelation chapter 4 represent all classes of creation in heaven.⁵ They also praise and worship Christ as a symbol that all of creation in heaven worships Christ.

Revelation 19:4 is the seventh and last time that John records worship by the 24 Elders and four beasts.⁶ Their first and second acts of worship occurred in Revelation 4:8-10, where the four beasts and 24 Elders separately worshiped God the Father, who was seated on the throne in paradise at the time of John's vision in 96 AD.⁷ In Revelation 5:8, they collectively worshiped the Father a third time in the same setting.⁸ In Revelation 5:14, the 24 Elders separately worshiped the Father again for the fourth time in the same setting.⁹ In Revelation 7:11-14, the four beasts and 24 Elders collectively worshiped the Father a fifth time at the close of the sixth seal.¹⁰ At that time, they were part of the much larger multitude of angels that also silently worshipped in heaven when the seventh seal opened in Revelation 8:1, but John does not describe their worship specifically.¹¹ In Revelation 11:16, the 24 Elders separately worshiped the Father for the sixth time at the end of the Second Woe.¹² Finally, in Revelation 19:4, the 24 Elders and four beasts collectively worship a seventh time in reverse order¹³ during the seventh Vial Plague of the Third Woe.¹⁴ This final act of worship occurs as Modern Babylon is physically destroyed¹⁵ and Christ begins his earthly reign on earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.¹⁶

The seventh act of worship is unique because it occurs after Christ begins his earthly reign as King and Lord of the whole earth.¹⁷ Therefore, the 24 Elders and four beasts worship Christ for the first time as the God that sat [sitteth]¹⁸ on the throne in Revelation 19:4.¹⁹ They fall down and prostrate themselves before Christ as they did before the Father on prior occasions.²⁰ Here, their worship celebrates Christ's complete triumph over Modern Babylon.²¹ They conclude their last recorded worship of Christ with great finality, saying: Amen; Alleluia.²² These final words of praise mean that Christ is the God of Amen.²³
