4After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."G3326G5023G1492G2532G2400G2374G455G1722G3772G2532G4413G5456G3739G191G5613G4536G2980G3326G1700G3004G305G5602G2532G1166G4671G3739G1163G1096G3326G50232At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.G2532G2112G1096G1722G4151G2532G2400G2362G2749G1722G3772G2532G2521G1909G23623And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne.G2532G2521G2258G3706G3664G2393G2532G4555G3037G2532G2463G2943G2362G3706G3664G46644Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.G2532G2943G2362G5064G2532G1501G2362G2532G1909G2362G1492G5064G2532G1501G4245G2521G4016G1722G3022G2440G2532G2192G1909G846G2776G4735G55525From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.G2532G1537G2362G1607G796G2532G1027G2532G5456G2532G2033G2985G4442G2545G1799G2362G3739G1526G2033G4151G23166Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.G2532G1799G2362G2281G5193G3664G2930G2532G1722G3319G2362G2532G2945G2362G5064G2226G1073G3788G1715G2532G36937The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.G2532G4413G2226G3664G3023G2532G1208G2226G3664G3448G2532G5154G2226G2192G4383G5613G444G2532G5067G2226G3664G4072G1058Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."G2532G5064G2226G2192G303G1520G2596G1438G1803G4420G2943G2532G1073G3788G2081G2532G372G3756G2192G2250G2532G3571G3004G40G40G40G2962G2316G3841G3588G2258G3801G2532G5607G3801G2532G2064G38019Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever,G2532G3752G2226G1325G1391G2532G5092G2532G2169G2521G1909G2362G3588G2198G1519G165G16510the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:G5064G2532G1501G4245G4098G1799G2521G1909G2362G2532G4352G2198G1519G165G165G2532G906G846G4735G1799G2362G300411"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."G1488G514G2962G2983G1391G2532G5092G2532G1411G3754G4771G2936G3956G2532G1223G4675G2307G1526G2532G2936
