AFV2020 - Revelation of John - 4

4:1  After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard was as if a trumpet were speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things that must take place after these things."

4:2  And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One was sitting on the throne.

4:3  And He Who was sitting was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius stone; and a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in its appearance.

4:4  And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments; and they had on their heads golden crowns.

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

4:6  And before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne and over the throne were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;

4:7  And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature was like a bull, and the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

4:8  And each of the four living creatures had six wings respectively; and around and within they were full of eyes; and day and night they cease not saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was, and Who is, and Who is to come."

4:9  And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him Who sits on the throne, Who lives into the ages of eternity,

4:10  The twenty-four elders fall down before Him Who sits on the throne; and they worship Him Who lives into the ages of eternity, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

4:11  "Worthy are You, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power because You did create all things, and for Your will they were created and exist."
