Revelation 4:1-11
1 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.
