							 And 
							I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. 
							And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at 
							the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
							9And he said to me, "Do 
							not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and of 
							your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the 
							words of this book; worship God." Revelation 
							22:8-9 (NAS) 
							The scriptures make it pretty clear that a 
							Christian is not to fall down to worship at the feet 
							of anyone or anything other than God.  Here the 
							angel says to John: 
							
								- Do 
								not do that.
 
								- I am 
								a fellow servant:
									- of yours,
 
									- of your brethren the prophets, and of
 
									- those who heed the words of this book.
 
								 
								 
								- 
								Worship God.
 
							 
							Who Are We to Worship?
							The angel did not accept the worship of John.  
							The angel knew the commandments of God...that the 
							only one who may be the object of worship is God 
							himself. 
							
							 "You 
							shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness 
							of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath 
							or in the water under the earth. 5"You 
							shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the 
							LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the 
							iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the 
							third and the fourth generations of those who hate 
							Me, 6but showing lovingkindness to 
							thousands, to those who love Me and keep My 
							commandments. Exodus 20:4-6 (NAS)  
							...for you shall not worship 
							any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, 
							is a jealous God-- Exodus 34:14 (NAS) 
							"And it shall come about if you 
							ever forget the LORD your God, and go after other 
							gods and serve them and worship them, I testify 
							against you today that you shall surely perish. 
							Deuteronomy 8:19 (NAS) 
							Again, the devil took Him to a 
							very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms 
							of the world, and their glory; 9and he 
							said to Him, "All these things will I give You, if 
							You fall down and worship me." 10Then 
							Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! For it is 
							written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and 
							serve Him only.'" Matthew 4:8-10 (NAS) 
							The Father, Son and Holy Spirit:  
							
							Colossians 2:9 refers to God as "Deity" or 
							the "Godhead" (from the Greek word "Theotes" 
							meaning divinity): 
							
							 For 
							in Him (Jesus) all the fulness of Deity dwells in 
							bodily form, Colossians 2:9 (NAS)  
							This Deity or Godhead is represented by the 
							Father, the Son (Jesus) and God's Spirit (the Holy 
							Spirit).  Throughout scripture you see the 
							worship of God the Father.  In addition...when 
							Jesus was on the earth, He accepted the worship of 
							others (e.g., at Jesus' birth in Matthew 2:12, on the 
							sea in Matthew 14:33, after His resurrection in 
							Matthew 28:9, 17)
