Revelation 7:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

And all the angels stood round about the throne; the good angels, who always in heaven behold the face of their and our heavenly Father. And about the elders; and about the twenty-four elders, mentioned Revelation 4:4. And the four beasts; and the living creatures, mentioned Revelation 4:6. And fell before the throne on their faces; the angels, elders, and living creatures, all fall down on their faces, in a reverential sense of the infinite distance between them and their Creator. And worshipped God; thus paying an homage to God fitted to their glorified state, in consideration of his excellency.
