* 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 show you what shall be hereafter . * And immediately I was in the Spirit : and behold , a throne was set in heaven , and one sitting upon it ; * and he who sat on it , was in appearance like a jasper and sardine stone ; and a rainbow , in appearance like an emerald , was round about the throne . * And round about the throne there were twenty-four thrones ; and on the thrones , twenty-four elders sitting , clothed with white apparel ; and upon their heads golden crowns . * And out of the throne there came lightnings , and thunders , and voices . And seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne , which are the seven Spirits of God . * And before the throne there was a sea of glass , like crystal . And in the middle of the throne , in the circle about the throne , there were four living creatures , full of eyes , before and behind . * And the first creature was like a lion ; and the second creature was like a calf ; and the third creature had a face like a man ; and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle . * And the four living creatures had , each of them , six wings round about ; and within they were full of eyes : and they rest not , day or night , saying , Holy , holy , holy , Lord God Almighty , who wast , and art , and art to come . * And while the living creatures are giving glory , and honor , and thanks to him who sits upon the throne , who lives for ever and ever , * the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits upon the throne , who lives for ever and ever ; and they cast down 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 for thy pleasure they are , and were created .
