I thought they might stone me! :)


I remember doing a Bible study on Revelation one time.  After reading the following passage I made the off hand comment that if that was really what Heaven is like it sounds pretty boring.  From the looks I got I thought they might stone me.  :)
 
Revelation 4:6-11(NKJV)
6Before the throne there  £was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 
7The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 
8The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:      “Holy,£ holy, holy,     Lord God Almighty,     Who was and is and is to come!”
9Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 
10the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11    “You are worthy, £O Lord,      To receive glory and honor and power;     For You created all things,     And by Your will they £exist and were created.”

So let me see if I have this right.  The creatures say their thing 24/7, they never take a break.  When the elders hear the creatures the elders then fall to the floor worshipping and saying their thing.  So it is basically stand up, sit down 24/7. 

So here is my question.  How the heck does anything ever get done in Heaven?  :)
