ABP - Revelation of John - 4

4:1  After these things I saw, and behold, a door being opened in the heaven. And the [2voice 1first] which I heard was as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Ascend here! and I will show to you what must take place after these.

4:2  And immediately I existed in spirit. And behold, a throne was situated in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting,

4:3  likened in sight [2stone 1to a jasper], and sardius; and a rainbow was round about the throne, likened to the sight of emerald.

4:4  And round about the throne were [2thrones 1twenty-four]; and upon the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting down, being covered in [2garments 1white]; and upon their heads [2crowns 1golden].

4:5  And from out of the throne went forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders. And seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which are seven spirits of God.

4:6  And before the throne was as a sea of glass, likened to ice. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

4:7  And the [2living creature 1first] was likened to a lion, and the second living creature was likened to a calf, and the third living creature having the face as a man, and the fourth living creature was likened [2eagle 1to a flying].

4:8  And four living creatures one by one of them having each [2wings 1six] round about, and from inside being full of eyes; and [3rest 2no 1they have] day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, the one who was, and the one being, and the one coming.

4:9  And whenever [3shall give 1the 2living creatures] glory, and honor, and thankfulness to the one sitting upon the throne, to the one living into the eons of the eons,

4:10  [4shall fall 1the 2twenty four 3elders] before the one sitting upon the throne, and shall do obeisance to the one living into the eons of the eons; and they shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

4:11  Worthy are you the Lord and our God, the holy one, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power; for you created all things, and by your will they are and were created.
