A Voice from the Throne
Commentators widely agree that the voice calling for praise is not God the Father, as it says, "Praise our God." Instead, scholars suggest it is a powerful angel or another exalted being near the throne, acting as a worship leader to initiate a universal chorus of praise. This highlights the organized and responsive nature of heavenly worship.
