A Door into Heaven
4Then I looked, and, oh!—a door open into Heaven. The trumpet-voice, the first voice in my vision, called out, "Ascend and enter. I'll show you what happens next."G33262I was caught up at once in deep worship and, oh!—a Throne set in Heaven with One Seated on the Throne,G2532G2112G1096G1722G4151G2532G2400G2362G2749G1722G3772G2532G2521G1909G2362
3suffused in gem hues of amber and flame with a nimbus of emerald.G2532G2521G2258G3706G3664G2393G2532G4555G3037G2532G2463G2943G2362G3706G3664G4664
4Twenty-four thrones circled the Throne, with Twenty-four Elders seated, white-robed, gold-crowned.G2532G2943G2362G5064G2532G1501G2362G2532G1909G2362G1492G5064G2532G1501G4245G2521G4016G1722G3022G2440G2532G2192G1909G846G2776G4735G5552
5Lightning flash and thunder crash pulsed from the Throne. Seven fire-blazing torches fronted the Throne (these are the Sevenfold Spirit of God).G2532G1537G2362G1607G796G2532G1027G2532G5456G2532G2033G2985G4442G2545G1799G2362G3739G1526G2033G4151G2316
6Before the Throne it was like a clear crystal sea. Prowling around the Throne were Four Animals, all eyes. Eyes to look ahead, eyes to look behind.G2532G1799G2362G2281G5193G3664G2930G2532G1722G3319G2362G2532G2945G2362G5064G2226G1073G3788G1715G2532G3693
7The first Animal like a lion, the second like an ox, the third with a human face, the fourth like an eagle in flight.G2532G4413G2226G3664G3023G2532G1208G2226G3664G3448G2532G5154G2226G2192G4383G5613G444G2532G5067G2226G3664G4072G105
8The Four Animals were winged, each with six wings. They were all eyes, seeing around and within. And they chanted night and day, never taking a break: Holy, holy, holy Is God our Master, Sovereign-Strong, THE WAS, THE IS, THE COMING.G2532G5064G2226G2192G303G1520G2596G1438G1803G4420G2943G2532G1073G3788G2081G2532G372G3756G2192G2250G2532G3571G3004G40G40G40G2962G2316G3841G3588G2258G3801G2532G5607G3801G2532G2064G3801
9Every time the Animals gave glory and honor and thanks to the One Seated on the Throne—the age-after-age Living One—G2532G3752G2226G1325G1391G2532G5092G2532G2169G2521G1909G2362G3588G2198G1519G165G165
New Testament
10the Twenty-four Elders would fall prostrate before the One Seated on the Throne. They worshiped the age-after-age Living One. They threw their crowns at the foot of the Throne, chanting,G5064G2532G1501G4245G4098G1799G2521G1909G2362G2532G4352G2198G1519G165G165G2532G906G846G4735G1799G2362G3004
11Worthy, O Master! Yes, our God! Take the glory! the honor! the power! You created it all; It was created because you wanted it.G1488G514G2962G2983G1391G2532G5092G2532G1411G3754G4771G2936G3956G2532G1223G4675G2307G1526G2532G2936
