| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After this I looked, and there in heaven was an open door. The first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Immediately I was in the Spirit, and a throne was set there in heaven. One was seated on the throne, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3and the One seated looked like jasper and carnelian stone. A rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Around that throne were 24 thrones, and on the thrones sat 24 elders dressed in white clothes, with gold crowns on their heads. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder came from the throne. Seven fiery torches were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal, was also before the throne. Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back were in the middle and around the throne. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The first living creature was like a lion; the second living creature was like a calf; the third living creature had a face like a man; and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was, who is, and who is coming. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne, the One who lives forever and ever, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10the 24 elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, worship the One who lives forever and ever, cast their crowns before the throne, and say: |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Our Lord and God, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because You have created all things, and because of Your will they exist and were created. |
