 The "Open Door" of Heaven in the Book of Revelation
A good treatment by a Lutheran scholar, Dr. Charles Gieschen. A quote: "Revelation 4-5 and the other scenes of worship that follow are visual depictions of the hidden-to-the-naked-eye heavenly worship that the Church participates in each Lord's Day as the church on earth. These chapters are not only depicting a past or future reality, they are showing forth a present reality for John and the church of his day. As such, they serve as a vivid commentary on what is happening in worship, especially in the Eucharist, where the Paschal Lamb who shed His blood and gave His body is present sharing His victory through this meal."
