• Rev 4:2-9 : 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and someone was seated on the throne. 3 The one seated there had an appearance like jasper and carnelian, and all around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon these thrones sat twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments and wearing golden crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. In front of the throne were seven blazing torches, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 Before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the middle of the throne and around it were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like an ox, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and were covered with eyes all around, even under their wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come." 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the one seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 The twenty-four elders will fall down before the one seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever. They will cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory, honor, and power, for you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created."
