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.”

At once I was in the Spirit,(A) and there before me was a throne in heaven(B) with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper(C) and ruby.(D) A rainbow(E) that shone like an emerald(F) encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders.(G) They were dressed in white(H) and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.(I) In front of the throne, seven lamps(J) were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a](K) of God. Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass,(L) clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures,(M) and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.(N) The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.(O) Each of the four living creatures(P) had six wings(Q) and was covered with eyes all around,(R) even under its wings. Day and night(S) they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’[b](T)

who was, and is, and is to come.”(U)

Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne(V) and who lives for ever and ever,(W) 10 the twenty-four elders(X) fall down before him(Y) who sits on the throne(Z) and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”(AB)
