God’s holy angels were wowed at the scene before them!
All they could do was fall on their faces and worship their God!

• (Revelation 7:11–12 ESV) And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

Angels do not know everything. They are not gods but beings created by God as we are. In Revelation 7 we are going to observe a scene in heaven in which the angels are going to be absolutely wowed before their holy God. What has happened? They see “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands” (7:9).

And what did they do in response to this great assembly of those dressed in white and purchased by the blood of the Lamb? They fell on their faces and worshiped God. What a joyful day, a great day of affirmation for their God and his salvation work, and they are completely swept off their feet (if they have feet) by the joy and majesty of the moment. Savor the moment. The angels have anticipated something like this for thousands of years at least. Peter writes concerning this interest of God’s holy angels in the salvation of God’s people.

• (1 Peter 1:10–12 ESV) Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
