The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 4
{4:1} After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven,
and the first voice that I heard, like a [1>]shofar[<1] speaking with
me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things
which must happen after this."
{4:2} Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne
set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne {4:3} that looked like a
jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne,
like an emerald to look at. {4:4} Around the throne were twenty-four
thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in
white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. {4:5} Out of the
throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven
lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits
of God. {4:6} Before the throne was something like a sea of glass,
similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne
were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. {4:7} The
first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf,
and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like
a flying eagle. {4:8} The four living creatures, each one of them
having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no
rest day and night, saying, "[2>]Holy, holy, holy[<2] is the Lord God,
the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!"
{4:9} When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him
who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, {4:10} the
twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and
worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before
the throne, saying, {4:11} "Worthy are you, our Lord [3>]and God, the
Holy One,[<3] to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you
created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were
created!"
