Revelation 13:4 (KJV) Worship Defined Biblically

Revelation 13:4 (KJV)
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

We have a lesson (from the negative perspective) here as to what The Apostle John believed was worship. The Bible says these people worshipped the beast you saying two things:

• Who is like unto the beast?
• Who is able to make war with him?

First, they put him first.They hold the beast in such awe and reverence that they can see no one or no thing that compares. They challenge others to search out one like him, one that is His equal.

Second, they magnify his mightThey can see no one or nothing as strong as he. They could not imagine a being foolish enough to take him on in battle. They obviously think less than this of the living God because they will take Him on in battle in the not too distant future.

I am not suggesting that this is all worship is. It also includes prostrating before Him. However, these are two significant aspects of worship: having no gods before Him and having absolute surrender to Him.
