Revelation 4:1-7
1After these thingsG3778 I sawG3708, and beholdG2400, a doorG2374 openedG455 in heavenG3772, and the firstG4413 voiceG5456 which I heardG191 as of a trumpetG4536 speakingG2980 with me, sayingG3004, ComeG1096 up hereG5602, and I will shew thee the thingsG3778 which must take placeG1096 after these thingsG3778.
2ImmediatelyG2112 I becameG1096 in [the] SpiritG4151; and beholdG2400, a throneG2362 stood in the heavenG3772, and upon the throneG2362 oneG3588 sittingG2521,
3and he [that was] sittingG2521 like in appearanceG3706 to a stoneG3037 [of] jasperG2393 and a sardiusG4556, and a rainbowG2463 round the throneG2362 like in appearanceG3706 to an emerald.
4And round the throneG2362 twenty-four thronesG2362, and on the thronesG2362 twenty-four eldersG4245 sittingG2521, clothed with whiteG3022 garmentsG2440; and on their headsG2776 goldenG5552 crownsG4735.
5And out of the throneG2362 goG1607 forthG1607 lightnings, and voicesG5456, and thundersG1027; and sevenG2033 lampsG2985 of fireG4442, burningG2545 before the throneG2362, which areG1510 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of 1GodG2316;
6and before the throneG2362, as a glassG5193 seaG2281, like crystalG2930. And in the midstG3319 of the throneG2362, and around the throneG2362, fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, fullG1073 of eyesG3788, before and behind;
7and the firstG4413 livingG2226 creatureG2226 like a lionG3023, and the secondG1208 livingG2226 creatureG2226 like a calfG3448, and the thirdG5154 livingG2226 creatureG2226 having the faceG4383 as of a manG444, and the fourth livingG2226 creatureG2226 like a flyingG4072 eagleG105.
