4. Perspective• Revelation 4:1[ The Throne Room of Heaven ] After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

Psalm 73

12Behold, these are the ungodly,Who are always at ease;They increase in riches.13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain,And washed my hands in innocence.

Psalm 73

14 For all day long I have been plagued,And chastened every morning.15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

Psalm 73

16 When I thought how to understand this,It was too painful for me—17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;Then I understood their end.
