天上的敬拜

此后,我再观看,见天上有一扇门开了,又听见刚才那个像号角般响亮的声音对我说:“你上这里来,我要把以后必发生的事指示给你看。” 我便立刻被圣灵感动,看见天上安设着一个宝座,有一位坐在宝座上, 闪耀着碧玉和红宝石般的光彩。有一道翡翠般的彩虹围绕着宝座。 宝座的周围设有二十四个座位,有二十四位长老坐在上面,他们身穿白袍,头戴金冠。 从宝座中有闪电、响声、雷鸣发出,宝座前面燃烧着七把火炬,代表[a]上帝的七灵。 宝座前还有一个水晶般的玻璃海,宝座的四周有四个活物,他们前后都长满了眼睛。 第一个活物像狮子,第二个像牛犊,第三个有人的面孔,第四个像飞鹰。 这四个活物各有三对翅膀,翅膀内外都长满眼睛。他们昼夜不停地说:

“圣哉!圣哉!圣哉!
主上帝是昔在、今在、
以后永在的全能者。”

每逢这些活物将荣耀、尊贵、感谢献给坐在宝座上、活到永永远远的那位时, 10 二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的那位面前,敬拜那位永活者,又摘下他们头上的冠冕,放在宝座前,说:

11 “我们的主,我们的上帝,
你配得荣耀、尊贵和权能,
因你创造了万物,
万物都因你的旨意被创造而存在。”

The Throne in Heaven

After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me (A)like a trumpet, said, (B)“Come up here, and (C)I will show you what must take place after this.” At once (D)I was in the Spirit, and behold, (E)a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of (F)jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was (G)a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. Around the throne were (H)twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, (I)clothed in white garments, with (J)golden crowns on their heads. From the throne came (K)flashes of lightning, and rumblings[a] and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning (L)seven torches of fire, (M)which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne there was (N)as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.

And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are (O)four living creatures, (P)full of eyes in front and behind: (Q)the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, (R)each of them with six wings, are (S)full of eyes all around and within, and (T)day and night they never cease to say,

(U)“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
    (V)who was and is and is to come!”

And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, (W)who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders (X)fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast (Y)their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 (Z)“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for (AA)you created all things,
    and (AB)by your will they existed and were created.”

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

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 there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

And round about the throne were 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 there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before 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 were full of eyes within: and they rest 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,

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

11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
