Revelation 4:1-6

1After these things I saw a door standing open in heaven. I heard the first voice like a trumpet speaking to me. It said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.”

2Instantly, I came under the Spirit’s power. I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was sitting on it.

3The one sitting there looked like gray quartz and red quartz. There was a rainbow around the throne which looked like an emerald.

4Around that throne were 24 other thrones, and on these thrones sat 24 leaders wearing white clothes. They had gold crowns on their heads.

5Lightning, noise, and thunder came from the throne. Seven flaming torches were burning in front of the throne. These are the seven spirits of God.

6In front of the throne, there was something like a sea of glass as clear as crystal. In the center near the throne and around the throne were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back.
