How do we know true worship involves falling on our faces?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture shows that true worshippers fall on their faces before God, acknowledging His glory and holiness.

Biblical accounts of people experiencing the glory of God often depict them falling prostrate in worship. For example, Daniel describes being in a deep sleep with his face to the ground upon hearing God's voice (Daniel 10:9). Similarly, when John encountered the ascended Christ in Revelation, he fell at His feet as dead (Revelation 1:17). In true worship, the appropriate response to God's holiness is a posture of humility and self-loathing, as seen in Job's confession after encountering God (Job 42:5-6). This contrasts sharply with contemporary practices that emphasize theatrical displays, where individuals fall backwards, diverging from the scriptural model of reverence and awe before God.
