Revelation

After these things I looked, and behold, a door [was] opened in Heaven. And the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you what must occur after these things.

And immediately I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and [One] sat upon the throne.

And He who sat there looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. And a rainbow [was] around the throne, looking like an emerald.

And around the throne [I saw] twenty-four thrones. And on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white clothing. And they had crowns of gold on their heads.

And out of the throne came lightnings and thunderings and voices. And seven lamps of fire [were] burning in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.

And a sea of glass [was] in front of the throne, like crystal. And in [the] midst of the throne, and around the throne, [were] four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.

And the first living creature [was] like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.

And each one of the four living creatures had six wings about [him], and within being full of eyes. And they had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was and is and [is] to come.

And whenever the living creatures gave glory and honor and thanks to Him who sat on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

the twenty-four elders fell down before the One sitting on the throne. And they worshiped Him who lives for ever and ever, and threw their crowns before the throne, saying,

O Lord, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because You created all things, and for Your will they are and were created.
