Revelation 4

1 After this I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven! And the voice I had previously heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show yoʋ what must take place after this.”

After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as of a trumpet speaking to me; and it said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must come to pass hereafter.

2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, there was a throne in heaven, with one sitting on the throne,

And immmediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne.

3 like jasper and carnelian in appearance. And around the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

And He that sat upon it, was to look at like a jasper and a sardine stone, and there was a rainbow round the throne like the appearance of an emerald.

4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and sitting on the thrones were the twenty-four elders. They were clothed in white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.

And around the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw twenty four elders sitting, clothed in white garments; and they had upon their heads crowns of gold.

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, and there were seven flaming torches burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.

And out of the throne came lightnings, and thunders, and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne; which are the seven spirits of God.

6 Also before the throne was something like a sea of glass that looked like crystal. Around the throne on each side were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.

And before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal: and in the middle of the throne, and the circle of it, were four animate beings full of eyes before and behind.

7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.

And the first was like a lion, and the second like a calf, and the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.

8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”

And the four animals had each of them six wings round about, and within were full of eyes; and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

9 And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)

And when the animals give glory and honor and thanks to Him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne and say, (aiōn g165)

the four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sitteth on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

11 “Yoʋ are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive glory, honor, and power; for yoʋ created all things, and by yoʋr will they came into existence and were created.”

and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Worthy art thou, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they exist, and were created.
