4Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this."G3326G5023G1492G2532G2400G2374G455G1722G3772G2532G4413G5456G3739G191G5613G4536G2980G3326G1700G3004G305G5602G2532G1166G4671G3739G1163G1096G3326G50232And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it.G2532G2112G1096G1722G4151G2532G2400G2362G2749G1722G3772G2532G2521G1909G23623The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow.G2532G2521G2258G3706G3664G2393G2532G4555G3037G2532G2463G2943G2362G3706G3664G46644Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads.G2532G2943G2362G5064G2532G1501G2362G2532G1909G2362G1492G5064G2532G1501G4245G2521G4016G1722G3022G2440G2532G2192G1909G846G2776G4735G55525From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God.G2532G1537G2362G1607G796G2532G1027G2532G5456G2532G2033G2985G4442G2545G1799G2362G3739G1526G2033G4151G23166In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back.G2532G1799G2362G2281G5193G3664G2930G2532G1722G3319G2362G2532G2945G2362G5064G2226G1073G3788G1715G2532G36937The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.G2532G4413G2226G3664G3023G2532G1208G2226G3664G3448G2532G5154G2226G2192G4383G5613G444G2532G5067G2226G3664G4072G1058Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come."G2532G5064G2226G2192G303G1520G2596G1438G1803G4420G2943G2532G1073G3788G2081G2532G372G3756G2192G2250G2532G3571G3004G40G40G40G2962G2316G3841G3588G2258G3801G2532G5607G3801G2532G2064G38019Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever),G2532G3752G2226G1325G1391G2532G5092G2532G2169G2521G1909G2362G3588G2198G1519G165G16510the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say,G5064G2532G1501G4245G4098G1799G2521G1909G2362G2532G4352G2198G1519G165G165G2532G906G846G4735G1799G2362G300411"You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased."G1488G514G2962G2983G1391G2532G5092G2532G1411G3754G4771G2936G3956G2532G1223G4675G2307G1526G2532G2936
