John was caught up through an open door into the throne room of heaven. The scene he describes is not past or future — it is happening now. And it draws us to the same realization the elders had: God alone is worthy.

Many treat God's grace as total freedom to live however they please. But Scripture itself confronts this 'false grace.' Real grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness — it never licenses the sin it came to break.
