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 SITING,
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.
LOVE
