1. Then I looked, and there before me was an open door in heaven. And I heard the same voice that spoke to me before. It was the voice that sounded like a trumpet. It said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this."
|
1. After G3326 this G5023 I looked G1492 , and G2532 , behold G2400 , a door G2374 was opened G455 in G1722 heaven G3772 : and G2532 the G3588 first G4413 voice G5456 which G3739 I heard G191 was as it were G5613 of a trumpet G4536 talking G2980 with G3326 me G1700 ; which said G3004 , Come up G305 hither G5602 , and G2532 I will show G1166 thee G4671 things which G3739 must G1163 be G1096 hereafter G3326 G5023 .

|
2. Immediately the Spirit took control of me, and there in heaven was a throne with someone sitting on it.
|
2. And G2532 immediately G2112 I was G1096 in G1722 the spirit G4151 : and G2532 , behold G2400 , a throne G2362 was set G2749 in G1722 heaven G3772 , and G2532 one sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 .
|
|
3. The one sitting there was as beautiful as precious stones, like jasper and carnelian. All around the throne was a rainbow with clear colors like an emerald.
|
3. And G2532 he that sat G2521 was G2258 to look upon G3706 like G3664 a jasper G2393 and G2532 a sardine G4555 stone G3037 : and G2532 there was a rainbow G2463 round about G2943 the G3588 throne G2362 , in sight G3706 like unto G3664 an emerald G4664 .
|
|
4. In a circle around the throne were 24 other thrones with 24 elders sitting on them. The elders were dressed in white, and they had golden crowns on their heads.
|
4. And G2532 round about G2943 the G3588 throne G2362 were four and twenty G5064 G2532 G1501 seats G2362 : and G2532 upon G1909 the G3588 seats G2362 I saw G1492 four and twenty G5064 G2532 G1501 elders G4245 sitting G2521 , clothed G4016 in G1722 white G3022 raiment G2440 ; and G2532 they had G2192 on G1909 their G848 heads G2776 crowns G4735 of gold G5552 .

|
5. Lightning flashes and noises of thunder came from the throne. Before the throne there were seven lamps burning, which are the seven Spirits of God.
|
5. And G2532 out G1537 of the G3588 throne G2362 proceeded G1607 lightnings G796 and G2532 thunderings G1027 and G2532 voices G5456 : and G2532 there were seven G2033 lamps G2985 of fire G4442 burning G2545 before G1799 the G3588 throne G2362 , which G3739 are G1526 the G3588 seven G2033 Spirits G4151 of God G2316 .
|
|
6. Also before the throne there was something that looked like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In front of the throne and on each side of it there were four living beings. They had eyes all over them, in front and in back.
|
6. And G2532 before G1799 the G3588 throne G2362 there was a sea G2281 of glass G5193 like unto G3664 crystal G2930 : and G2532 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 throne G2362 , and G2532 round about G2945 the G3588 throne G2362 , were four G5064 beasts G2226 full G1073 of eyes G3778 before G1715 and G2532 behind G3693 .
|
|
7. The first living being was like a lion. The second was like a cow. The third had a face like a man. The fourth was like a flying eagle.
|
7. And G2532 the G3588 first G4413 beast G2226 was like G3664 a lion G3023 , and G2532 the G3588 second G1208 beast G2226 like G3664 a calf G3448 , and G2532 the G3588 third G5154 beast G2226 had G2192 a face G4383 as G5613 a man G444 , and G2532 the G3588 fourth G5067 beast G2226 was like G3664 a flying G4072 eagle G105 .
|
|
8. Each of these four living beings had six wings. They were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day and night they never stopped saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful. He always was, he is, and he is coming."
|
8. And G2532 the four G5064 beasts G2226 had G2192 each of them G303 G1520 G2596 G1438 six G1803 wings G4420 about G2943 him ; and G2532 they were full G1073 of eyes G3788 within G2081 : and G2532 they rest G2192 G372 not G3756 day G2250 and G2532 night G3571 , saying G3004 , Holy G40 , holy G40 , holy G40 , Lord G2962 God G2316 Almighty G3841 , which was , and is , and is to come G3801 .
|
|
9. These living beings were giving glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever. And every time they did this,
|
9. And G2532 when G3752 those beasts G2226 give G1325 glory G1391 and G2532 honor G5092 and G2532 thanks G2169 to him that sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 , who liveth G2198 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 ,
|
|
10. the 24 elders bowed down before the one who sits on the throne. They worshiped him who lives forever and ever. They put their crowns down before the throne and said,
|
10. The G3588 four and twenty G5064 G2532 G1501 elders G4245 fall down G4098 before G1799 him that sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 , and G2532 worship G4352 him that liveth G2198 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 , and G2532 cast G906 their G848 crowns G4735 before G1799 the G3588 throne G2362 , saying G3004 ,
|
|
11. "Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You made all things. Everything existed and was made because you wanted it."
|
11. Thou art G1488 worthy G514 , O Lord G2962 , to receive G2983 glory G1391 and G2532 honor G5092 and G2532 power G1411 : for G3754 thou G4771 hast created G2936 all things G3956 , and G2532 for G1223 thy G4675 pleasure G2307 they are G1526 and G2532 were created G2936 .
