You and I are not going to see these verses the same until we meet over there.They were worshipping Jesus.
Revelation 4;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.
Talking about Jesus in the these verse...
Colossians 1:16 16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
John 1:3 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Revelaton 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
It is clearing speaking about Jesus.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
Jesus is sitting on the throne.
10 The four and twenty elders 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,
They elders have their crowns, which they cast before the throne on which Jesus sat because....
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The problem is, lamad, is you have it mixed up of where Jesus came from when he appeared in the midst of the elders and John, as the Lamb of God. He didn't come from earth. He came from the throne which he was sitting on.
Jesus was there in heaven, on the throne, when he called John up in Revelation 4. He was there in heaven the entire time in Revelation 4 and 5 - and is there on the throne today as we speak.
Here is Jesus, the most important personage of the entire bible from Genesis to maps, and you IMAGINE He is there but just "not seen."
Can you come up with ANY reason why God would show John a throne room with the most important personage of the entire bible NOT SEEN?
My friend, it makes FAR MORE Sense that God is telling us a story: first Jesus not seen for the reason He is still on earth, then the Holy Spirit there to show that Jesus was still on earth and had not yet ascended to send Him down, then a search for one worthy that ended in failure because Jesus had not yet risen from the dead - to a search where He WAS found worthy and finally to Him suddenly appearing back in the throne room.
This follows the story of Jesus in the gospels: left heaven to be born of a virgin, started His ministry at 30, absent from heaven but present on earth, died, was buried, rose from the dead, then ascended back to the same throne room He had left 32 years before.
I used to sing the song, "out of the ivory palaces, into a world of woe..."
It is OK that you don't see this the way I see it: one day you will be taught in heaven as I was taught here, and then we will agree.
