1 The Throne Room of Heaven After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing Ezek. 1:1; Rev. 19:11 open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a Rev. 1:10 trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2 Immediately Rev. 1:10 I was in the Spirit; and behold, 1 Kin. 22:19; Is. 6:1; Ezek. 1:26; Dan. 7:9; Rev. 3:21; 4:9 a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
3 And He who sat there was Matt. 5:8; Rev. 21:11 like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; Gen. 9:13–17; Ezek. 1:28; Rev. 10:1 and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
4 Rev. 11:16 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, Rev. 3:4, 5 clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
5 And from the throne proceeded Gen. 49:9, 10; Ex. 19:16; Rev. 8:5; 11:19; 16:18 lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Ex. 37:23 Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are 2 Sam. 7:12; (Rev. 1:4) the seven Spirits of God.
6 Before the throne there was Ex. 38:8; Ezek. 1:22; Rev. 15:2 a sea of glass, like crystal. Ezek. 1:5; Rev. 4:8; 5:6; 6:1, 6; 7:11; 14:3; 15:7; 19:4 And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
7 Ezek. 1:10; 10:14 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.
8 The four living creatures, each having Is. 6:2 six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: Is. 6:3 “Holy, holy, holy, Rev. 1:8 Lord God Almighty, Rev. 1:4 Who was and is and is to come!”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, Rev. 1:18 who lives forever and ever,
10 Rev. 5:8, 14; 7:11; 11:16; 19:4 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 Rev. 1:6; 5:12 are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; Gen. 1:1; John 1:3 For You created all things, And by Col. 1:16 Your will they exist and were created.”
