CHAPTER FOUR
1After 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.” #Rev. 1:10, 19, 11:12
2And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One was sitting on the throne. #Isa. 6:1; Ezek. 1:26; Dan. 7:9; Rev. 1:10
3And 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. #Ezek. 1:28
4And 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. #Rev. 3:4-5, 11:16
5And 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. #Ex. 37:23; 2 Chr. 4:20; Ezek. 1:13; Zech. 4:2; Rev. 1:4, 8:5
6And 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; #Ex. 38:8; Ezek. 1:5; Rev. 15:2
7And 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. #Num. 2:2; Ezek. 1:10
8And 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.” #Isa. 6:2-3; Rev. 1:4, 8
9And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him Who sits on the throne, Who lives into the ages of eternity, #Rev. 1:18
10The 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, #Rev. 5:8, 14
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.” #Gen. 1:1; Acts 17:24; Eph. 3:9; Rev. 5:12
