Chapter
4
fter
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,
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.
