A Look into the Big House

¹ I turned around and saw right into heaven through a door that had been opened. The same voice that had first spoke to me like a trumpet spoke to me again and said, "Come on in. I'm going to show you what happens next." ² Then the Holy Ghost showed me someone sitting on the throne in heaven. ³ This someone shone like they were made of precious gems. An emerald rainbow circled the throne. ⁴ Around this throne were twenty-four more thrones. Seated on them were the twenty-four old bosses. They were dressed in white shirts with shining buckles on their belts. ⁵ Thunder and lightning rolled from the throne down to the seven torches that were blazing bright. ⁶ The area in front of the throne was like a river of glass and crystal.

Now, around the throne were four critters. They were covered in eyes from the front to the back. ⁷ The first critter looked like a lion, the second like a cow, the third looked like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle. ⁸ Every one of these critters had six wings each. Each wing was covered in eyes on top and bottom. All I saw them do, day and night, was sing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Almighty—who is, was, and will be."

⁹ When they would sing and honor the Forever One on the throne, ¹⁰ the twenty-four old bosses would hit their knees to honor him, too. They would offer their buckles that had been given to them to the throne and say, ¹¹ "Only you are worthy of honor, our Lord. All of creation takes a knee before you because you made all of it."
