The Earth's Purpose

        The whole purpose of coming before the King is to praise him, to live in recognition of his splendor. Praise--lifting up our heart and hands, exulting with our voices, singing his praises--is the occupation of those who dwell in the kingdom.

        Then I heard all creatures in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea saying: "To the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever."

        --Revelation 5:13
