Revelation 4NO HIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ''Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.'' 4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 4:3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 4:5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 4:7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: ''Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!'' 4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 4:11 ''You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.''
