It is not to Him who sat upon the throne, but to Him who sitteth there, as he liveth to the ages of ages, that this homage is paid. The future tense (shall give glory, &c.) implies the eternal repetition of the act. The connection between the praise given by creation, and the consequent homage of the twenty-four elders, expresses a truth.

Often the creation groaneth" and travaileth; but her chorus of praise rises when she perceives that "every thing that hath breath praiseth the Lord." The converse of this thought -- the earth bringeth forth her fruit when the people praise God--is hinted in Psalm 67:5-6, "the earth ceases her travail when the sons of God are made manifest (Romans 8:19-21).
