Last tip to hear God's voice in scripture is keep on going.

He sees the one on the throne.

And he sees around about there's 24 thrones with 24 elders clothed in white garments with golden crowns upon their heads.

When you run up against something that's difficult, when you run up something against something that is confusing, when you run up against like, oh my gosh, I'm getting bogged down in, people will often use like the names, like you're getting bogged down in the names and getting bogged down in the details.

And now think about this in verse 5.

From the throne issued flashes of lightning and voices and peals of thunder.

What's that sound like?

That sounds like Mount Sinai to me.

I don't know if it sounds like that to you, but it sounds like that to me.

I'm going through Leviticus and I don't know, you seem like you repeated yourself 12 times in the last 12 minutes.

Also, these 24 elders, right?

They're both kings and they're going to be priests.

This is going to be absolutely critical to notice that they have crowns like kings and they worship like priests.

keep on going.

It's one of the reasons why I like audiobooks so much.

One of the reasons why we're doing this podcast is because I know for myself, if I'm reading something and I'm not entirely getting every single word, I'm kind of like a little bit lost.

Bananas again.

We have the four living creatures, like the lion, like an ox, the face of a man, and the flying eagle type living creature.

We saw those things, those creatures before as well.

If I just keep on reading, it usually resolves itself.
