The Opening of the seven-Sealed scroll
The scene in heaven before the breaking of the seals
4:1 The Divine Throne in Heaven
I looked, and, hinei, a door was standing opened in heaven: and the First voice which I heard, as it were of a shofar שׁוֹפָר talking with me; said, "Come up here", and I will show you what must take place after these things.
4:2 And immediately I was in the Spirit רוּחַ: and, Hinnei, a Throne was standing in Shamayim, and One sat on the Throne.
4:3 
And
He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a 
rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns 
on their heads.
4:5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and thunderings and Voices. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim;
4:6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the Throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.
4:7
And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh,
Adon ADONAI Tzva'ot,
which was, and is, and is to come.
Keduhshah the Amidah Standing Prayer
4:9 Whenever the Living creatures give Kavod and honour and Hodu to
Him who sits on the Throne, who lives Le Olam Vaed,
4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
4:11 You are worthy, O Adonai, to receive Kavod and honour and power: for You have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.
Messianic Jews view Revelation 4 as a revelation of the Heavenly Mishkan (Tabernacle). They interpret Yochanan’s ascent into heaven ("Come up here") and the 24 elders on their thrones as a prophetic picture of the Rapture and the Church in heaven, paralleling the Jewish High Holy Days liturgy where the heavenly gates are opened
In a Jewish context, the chapter's profound symbolism connects deeply with foundational Hebrew scriptures:
The Heavenly Sanctuary: The layout mirrors the structure of the Tabernacle and the Holy of Holies. Just as the High Priest entered the earthly sanctuary, John is witnessing the divine original from which the earthly pattern was drawn (see Hebrews 8:5).
The Four Living Creatures: Rather than alien beasts, Messianic scholars identify these as the Chayot (living beings) and Keruvim (Cherubim) first described in Ezekiel 1 and Isaiah 6. Their faces—a lion, an ox, a man, and an eagle—are often seen in traditional Jewish thought as representing God's supreme reign over all of Creation (wild beasts, domesticated beasts, mankind, and birds).
The Trisagion (Kadushah): The unceasing praise of the living creatures, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty" (Rev 4:8), is directly tied to the Kedushah prayer recited daily in the synagogue (from Isaiah 6:3).
The Twenty-Four Elders: The twenty-four elders wearing white robes and golden crowns are often understood to represent the complete, unified body of the redeemed—the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles of the Church—standing before the throne as a kingdom of priests.
The Ethics of the sages or PIRKEI AVOT or the Ethics of the fathers 1:2 Says
Shimon HaTzadik was among the last of Great Assembly. He used to say,
The world rest on three things
on Wisdom (Torah)
on Surrender (Servanthood) give your right to Messiah
on compassion Gemilut Hachasidim act of kindness to some one who does not deserve.
Yeshayahu 6:3 And one cried to another, and said, "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, is HASHEM (ADONAI) Tzva'ot (צבא): the whole earth is full of His glory. Rabbi Abin likened the two exhortations to holiness to the case of the citizens who made three crowns for the king, and the king placed one on his own head and two on the heads of his sons. Similarly, every day the celestial beings crown God with three sanctities, calling him, in the words of Isaiah 6:3, "Holy, holy, holy." God then places one crown of holiness on God's own head and two crowns of holiness on the head of Israel.
