Revelation 4 - When introducing someone to what the end of the world will look like, God decides to, first of all, introduce him to the key players and the place from which all of this will take place.  Fortunately, we have alot of detail . . . unfortunately, we have such an incredible scene that it clearly goes beyond words to describe it perfectly.  Let's try our best, always remembering that it is described first so that we know where the rest of Revelation is coming from.
