Revelation 4

As John saw into heaven in order to see the -

"...things which must be hereafter." (New Testament | Revelation 4:1)

...he writes -

"And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne." (New Testament | Revelation 4:2)

I noted that in order to have beheld the presence of our Father in Heaven, it was necessary that he be quickened in some manner by the Holy Ghost. It must have been very difficult to try to explain the voice he heard as well as the glory of God using his limited resources of experiences here on earth.

As we learned in John's precious writings that we may "sit" in His throne (Rvelations 3:21) that His throne is not limited to one, so to speak, chair. Again we learn that elders and beasts were -

"...in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne..." (New Testament | Revelation 4:6)

I can't help but assume that those that -

"...had on their heads crowns of gold." (New Testament | Revelation 4:4)

...were those that had qualified to be kings and priests were "in the midst of the throne". Nonetheless, all did -

"...rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." (New Testament | Revelation 4:8)

(Have you ever noticed the significance and importance when words are repeated three times.}

Even those that were considered "joint-heirs" with Christ did -

"...fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." (New Testament | Revelation 4:10 - 11)

For those that struggle with the concept that as children of God with potential to be like him, should come to understand the order of things and the eternal worship of our Father in Heaven and His Only Begotten Son.
