After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it we of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be heafter.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and the was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

And round about the throne we four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and the we seven lamps of fi burning befo the throne, which a the seven Spirits of God.

And befo the throne the was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, we four beasts full of eyes befo and behind.

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

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they we full of eyes within: and they st not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

The four and twenty elders fall down befo him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns befo the throne, saying,

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to ceive glory and honour and power: for thou hast cated all things, and for thy pleasu they a and we cated.
