4:1 After
this
I
looked,
and
behold,
a
door
standing
open
in
heaven!
And
the
first
voice,
which
I
had
heard
speaking
to
me
like
a
trumpet,
said,
"Come
up
here,
and
I
will
show
you
what
must
take
place
after
this."
4:2 At
once
I
was
in
the
Spirit,
and
behold,
a
throne
stood
in
heaven,
with
one
seated
on
the
throne.
4:3 And
he
who
sat
there
had
the
appearance
of
jasper
and
carnelian,
and
around
the
throne
was
a
rainbow
that
had
the
appearance
of
an
emerald.
4:4 Around
the
throne
were
twenty-four
thrones,
and
seated
on
the
thrones
were
twenty-four
elders,
clothed
in
white
garments,
with
golden
crowns
on
their
heads.
4:5 From
the
throne
came
flashes
of
lightning,
and
rumblings
and
peals
of
thunder,
and
before
the
throne
were
burning
seven
torches
of
fire,
which
are
the
seven
spirits
of
God,
4:6 and
before
the
throne
there
was
as
it
were
a
sea
of
glass,
like
crystal.
And
around
the
throne,
on
each
side
of
the
throne,
are
four
living
creatures,
full
of
eyes
in
front
and
behind:
4:7 the
first
living
creature
like
a
lion,
the
second
living
creature
like
an
ox,
the
third
living
creature
with
the
face
of
a
man,
and
the
fourth
living
creature
like
an
eagle
in
flight.
4:8 And
the
four
living
creatures,
each
of
them
with
six
wings,
are
full
of
eyes
all
around
and
within,
and
day
and
night
they
never
cease
to
say,
"Holy,
holy,
holy,
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty,
who
was
and
is
and
is
to
come!"
4:9 And
whenever
the
living
creatures
give
glory
and
honor
and
thanks
to
him
who
is
seated
on
the
throne,
who
lives
forever
and
ever,
4:10 the
twenty-four
elders
fall
down
before
him
who
is
seated
on
the
throne
and
worship
him
who
lives
forever
and
ever.
They
cast
their
crowns
before
the
throne,
saying,
4:11 "Worthy
are
you,
our
Lord
and
God,
to
receive
glory
and
honor
and
power,
for
you
created
all
things,
and
by
your
will
they
existed
and
were
created."
