461. Verses 11, 12. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the elders and the four animals, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God unto the ages of the ages, Amen. - "And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the elders and the four animals," signifies the conjunction of the Lord with the whole heaven; "and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God," signifies thanksgiving from humility of heart that so many are saved; "saying, Amen," signifies the Lord as to Divine Truth from Divine Good; "Blessing, and glory, and wisdom," signifies these things from the Divine Truth which proceeds from the Lord; "and thanksgiving, and honour," signifies these things from the Divine Good which proceeds from the Lord; "and power, and might," signifies Omnipotence from Divine Good by Divine Truth; "be unto our God unto the ages of the ages" signifies unto the Lord to eternity; "Amen," signifies confirmation from the Divine.
