¶
After this I looked, and, behold, ( v ) door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a ( w ) trumpet talking with me; which said, ( 2 ) Come up hither ( a ) , and I will shew thee things which must be ( x ) hereafter.
2 And immediately I ( y ) was in the spirit: and, behold, a ( z ) throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon ( aa ) like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a ( bb ) rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty ( cc ) seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in ( dd ) white raiment; and they had on their heads ( ee ) crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven ( a ) Spirits of God. |

6 And before the throne there was ( b ) a sea of ( j1 ) glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four ( c ) beasts full ( b ) of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first ( c ) beast was ( c ) like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. ( e1 ) 8 ¶ And the four beasts ( d ) had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes ( d ) within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD ( e ) God Almighty, ( d ) which was, and is, and is to come. ( p3 ) |
|
9 And when those ( c ) beasts * ( e ) give glory and honour and thanks to him that ( f ) sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10 The four and twenty ( g ) elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and (12_w) worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, ( h ) O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast ( i ) created all things, and for ( j ) thy pleasure they are and were created. |
