Revelation 4

1AfterG3326 thisG3778 I lookedG3708 andG2532 sawG2400 a doorG2374 standing openG455 inG1722 heavenG3772. AndG2532 theG3588 voiceG5456 I had previously heardG3588 G4413 G191 speakG2980 toG3326 meG1473 likeG5613 a trumpetG4536 was sayingG3004, “Come upG305 hereG5602, andG2532 I will showG1166 youG4771 whatG3739 mustG1163 happenG1096 afterG3326 these thingsG3778.”

2At onceG2112 I wasG1096 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 I sawG2400 a throneG2362 standingG2749 inG1722 heavenG3772, with someone seatedG2521 onG1909 it. 3 TheG3588 One seated thereG2521 lookedG3706 likeG3664 jasperG2393 andG2532 carnelianG4556 G3037, andG2532 a rainbowG2463 that gleamedG3706 likeG3664 an emeraldG4664 encircledG2943 theG3588 throneG2362. 4 SurroundingG2943 theG3588 throneG2362 were twenty-fourG1501 other thronesG2362, andG2532 onG1909 theseG3588 thronesG2362 satG2521 twenty-fourG1501 eldersG4245 dressedG4016 inG1722 whiteG3022 , with goldenG5552 crownsG4735 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776.

Worship of the Creator

FromG1537 theG3588 throneG2362 cameG1607 flashes of lightningG796 , rumblingsG5456, andG2532 peals of thunderG1027 . BeforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362 burnedG2545 sevenG2033 torchesG2985 of fireG4442. TheseG3739 areG1510 theG3588 sevenG2033 spiritsG4151 1 of GodG2316. 6AndG2532 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362 was something likeG5613 a seaG2281 of glassG5193, as clear as crystalG2930 . InG1722 the centerG3319 , aroundG2945 theG3588 throneG2362, were fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, covered withG1073 eyesG3788 in frontG1715 andG2532 backG3693. 7 TheG3588 firstG4413 living creatureG2226 was likeG3664 a lionG3023 , theG3588 secondG1208 likeG3664 a calfG3448 , theG3588 thirdG5154 hadG2192 a faceG4383 likeG5613 a manG444, andG2532 theG3588 fourthG5067 was likeG3664 an eagleG105 in flightG4072. 8AndG2532 eachG1520 G2596 of theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 hadG2192 sixG1803 wingsG4420 and was covered withG1073 eyesG3788 all aroundG2943 andG2532 withinG2081 . DayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 they neverG3756 G2192 stopG372 sayingG3004:

“HolyG40, HolyG40, HolyG40,is the LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841,whoG3588 wasG1510 andG2532 isG1510 andG2532 is to comeG2064!”

9AndG2532 wheneverG3752 theG3588 living creaturesG2226 giveG1325 gloryG1391 , honorG5092, andG2532 thanksG2169 to theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362, whoG3588 livesG2198 foreverG1519 G3588 G165 and everG165, 10theG3588 twenty-fourG1501 G5064 eldersG4245 fall downG4098 beforeG1799 theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362, andG2532 they worshipG4352 Him whoG3588 livesG2198 foreverG1519 G3588 G165 and everG165 . They castG906 theirG846 crownsG4735 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362, sayingG3004:

11“WorthyG514 are YouG1510, ourG1473 LordG2962 andG2532 GodG2316,to receiveG2983 gloryG1391 andG2532 honorG5092 andG2532 powerG1411,forG3754 YouG4771 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 ;byG1223 YourG4771 willG2307 they existG1510 andG2532 were createdG2936.”
