The 24 Elders fall on their faces and, in their role as priests, give thanks for what was and what will be. They praise Him for being the Lord, the one from whom all things come, and God, the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega, the great I AM, and the Almighty, whom no one can thwart—for He who now is being.
