Immediately (A)I was in the Spirit; and behold, (B)a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. [a]And He who sat there was (C)like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; (D)and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. (E)Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, (F)clothed in white [b]robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. And from the throne proceeded (G)lightnings, [c]thunderings, and voices. (H)Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are (I)the[d] seven Spirits of God.

Before the throne there [e]was (J)a sea of glass, like crystal. (K)And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. (L)The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having (M)six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

(N)“Holy,[f] holy, holy,
(O)Lord God Almighty,
(P)Who was and is and is to come!”

Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, (Q)who lives forever and ever, 10 (R)the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

11 “You(S) are worthy, [g]O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
(T)For You created all things,
And by (U)Your will they [h]exist and were created.”

10 (A)I was in the Spirit on (B)the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me (C)a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, [a]“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches [b]which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

But (Q)He laid His right hand on me, saying [c]to me, “Do not be afraid; (R)I am the First and the Last. 18 (S)I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, (T)I am alive forevermore. Amen.
