Jubilee2000 - Revelation of John - 4

4:1  After these things I looked, and, behold, an open door in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, was like a trumpet that spoke with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show thee the things that need to be done after these.

4:2  And immediately I was in the spirit, and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and there was one seated upon the throne.

4:3  And he that was seated was like a jasper and a sardine stone to look upon; and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

4:4  And round about the throne [were] twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

4:5  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 Spirits of God.

4:6  And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal, and in the midst of the throne and round about the throne [were] four animals full of eyes in front and behind.

4:7  And the first animal [was] like a lion and the second animal like a calf, and the third animal had a face as a man, and the fourth animal [was] like a flying eagle.

4:8  And the four animals had each of them six wings about [him], and [they were] full of eyes within, and they did not cease day or night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

4:9  And when those animals give glory and honour and praise to the one that is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

4:10  the twenty-four elders fall down before him that is seated on the throne and worship him that lives for ever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

4:11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and virtue; for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they have their being and were created.:
