Revelation of John 4

Scene in Heaven

1After athese things I looked, and behold, ba door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, clike the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, dCome up here, and I will eshow you what must take place after these things.” 2Immediately I was
Or in spirit
,
gin the Spirit; and behold, ha throne was standing in heaven, and iOne sitting on the throne.
3And He who was sitting was like a jjasper stone and a ksardius in appearance; and there was a
Or halo
,
mrainbow around the throne, like an nemerald in appearance.
4 oAround the throne were ptwenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw qtwenty-four elders rsitting, clothed in swhite garments, and tgolden crowns on their heads.

The Throne and Worship of the Creator

5Out from the throne come uflashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were vseven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are wthe seven Spirits of God; 6and before the throne there was something like a xsea of glass, like crystal; and in the
Lit middle of the throne and around
center and zaround the throne, aafour living creatures abfull of eyes in front and behind.
7 acThe first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. 8And the adfour living creatures, each one of them having aesix wings, are affull of eyes around and within; and agday and night
Lit they have no rest, saying,
they do not cease to say, aiHoly, holy, holy is the aj Lord God, the Almighty, ak who was and who is and who
Or is coming
is to come.”
9And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who amsits on the throne, to anHim who lives forever and ever, 10the aotwenty-four elders will apfall down before Him who aqsits on the throne, and will worship arHim who lives forever and ever, and will cast their ascrowns before the throne, saying, 11 atWorthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You aucreated all things, and because of Your will they
Lit were
existed, and were created.”
