After
this I looked, and, behold, a door
was opened in heaven: and the first voice
which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come
up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. |
2 |
And
immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a
throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. |
3 |
And
he that sat was to look upon like a jasper
and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow
round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. |
4 |
And
round about the throne were four and twenty seats:
and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment;
and they had on their heads 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 Spirits of God. |
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 beasts full of eyes
before and behind. |
7 |
And
the first beast was 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.
|
8 |
And
the four beasts had each of them six wings
about him; and they were full of eyes
within: and they rest
not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and
is, and is to come. |
9 |
And
when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne,
who liveth for ever and ever, |
10 |
The
four and twenty elders fall
down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever
and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, |
11 |
Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. |
