4At this point I had another vision and saw an open door in heaven. And the voice that sounded like a trumpet, which I had heard speaking to me before, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this."G3326G5023G1492G2532G2400G2374G455G1722G3772G2532G4413G5456G3739G191G5613G4536G2980G3326G1700G3004G305G5602G2532G1166G4671G3739G1163G1096G3326G50232At once the Spirit took control of me. There in heaven was a throne with someone sitting on it.G2532G2112G1096G1722G4151G2532G2400G2362G2749G1722G3772G2532G2521G1909G23623His face gleamed like such precious stones as jasper and carnelian, and all around the throne there was a rainbow the color of an emerald.G2532G2521G2258G3706G3664G2393G2532G4555G3037G2532G2463G2943G2362G3706G3664G46644In a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, on which were seated twenty-four elders dressed in white and wearing crowns of gold.G2532G2943G2362G5064G2532G1501G2362G2532G1909G2362G1492G5064G2532G1501G4245G2521G4016G1722G3022G2440G2532G2192G1909G846G2776G4735G55525From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. In front of the throne seven lighted torches were burning, which are the seven spirits of God.G2532G1537G2362G1607G796G2532G1027G2532G5456G2532G2033G2985G4442G2545G1799G2362G3739G1526G2033G4151G23166Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. Surrounding the throne on each of its sides, were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and behind.G2532G1799G2362G2281G5193G3664G2930G2532G1722G3319G2362G2532G2945G2362G5064G2226G1073G3788G1715G2532G36937The first one looked like a lion; the second looked like a bull; the third had a face like a human face; and the fourth looked like an eagle in flight.G2532G4413G2226G3664G3023G2532G1208G2226G3664G3448G2532G5154G2226G2192G4383G5613G444G2532G5067G2226G3664G4072G1058Each one of the four living creatures had six wings, and they were covered with eyes, inside and out. Day and night they never stop singing: "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come."G2532G5064G2226G2192G303G1520G2596G1438G1803G4420G2943G2532G1073G3788G2081G2532G372G3756G2192G2250G2532G3571G3004G40G40G40G2962G2316G3841G3588G2258G3801G2532G5607G3801G2532G2064G38019The four living creatures sing songs of glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever. When they do so,G2532G3752G2226G1325G1391G2532G5092G2532G2169G2521G1909G2362G3588G2198G1519G165G16510the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever. They throw their crowns down in front of the throne and say,G5064G2532G1501G4245G4098G1799G2521G1909G2362G2532G4352G2198G1519G165G165G2532G906G846G4735G1799G2362G300411"Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. For you created all things, and by your will they were given existence and life."G1488G514G2962G2983G1391G2532G5092G2532G1411G3754G4771G2936G3956G2532G1223G4675G2307G1526G2532G2936
