After ^(C1)these things I looked, and behold, ^(C2)a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, ^(C3)like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "^(C4)Come up here, and I will ^(C5)show you what must take place after these things."

Immediately I was ^(C1)in the ^(F1)Spirit; and behold, ^(C2)a throne was standing in heaven, and ^(C3)someone was sitting on the throne.

And He who was sitting was like a ^(C1)jasper stone and a ^(C2)sardius in appearance; and there was a ^(F1)(C3)rainbow around the throne, like an ^(C4)emerald in appearance.

^(C1)Around the throne were ^(C2)twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw ^(C3)twenty-four elders ^(C4)sitting, clothed in ^(C5)white garments, and ^(C6)golden crowns on their heads.

Out from the throne ^(*)came ^(C1)flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were ^(C2)seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are ^(F1)(C3)the seven spirits of God;

and before the throne there was something like a ^(C1)sea of glass, like crystal; and in the ^(F1)center and ^(C2)around the throne, ^(C3)four living creatures ^(C4)full of eyes in front and behind.

^(C1)The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

And the ^(C1)four living creatures, each one of them having ^(C2)six wings, are ^(C3)full of eyes around and within; and ^(C4)day and night ^(F1)they do not cease to say, "^(C5)HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE ^(C6)LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, ^(C7)who was and who is and who ^(F2)is to come."

And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who ^(C1)sits on the throne, to ^(C2)Him who lives forever and ever,

the ^(C1)twenty-four elders will ^(C2)fall down before Him who ^(C3)sits on the throne, and they will worship ^(C4)Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their ^(C5)crowns before the throne, saying,

"^(C1)Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You ^(C2)created all things, and because of Your will they ^(F1)existed, and were created."
