After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the voice first that I heard like a trumpet was speaking with me, saying, do come up here, and I will show to you what it behooves to take place after these things.

immediately I was in [the] Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and upon the throne [One] sitting,

and the [One] sitting [was] like in appearance stone, jasper and sardius. And a rainbow [was] around the throne, like in appearance an emerald.

And around the throne, thrones [were] twenty four; and on the thrones twenty four elders sitting, having clothed themselves in garments white; and on the heads of them, crowns golden.

And out of the throne come flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunderings. And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

And before the throne [was something] like a sea of glass, like as crystal. And in [the] midst of the throne and around the throne [were] four living creatures, being full of eyes in front and behind.

And the living creature first [was] like as a lion, and the second living creature like as a calf, and the third living creature he is having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like as an eagle flying.

And the four living creatures, one for one of them he having respectively wings six, all around and within full of eyes; and rest not they have by day and night, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, who was being and who is being, and who is coming.

And whenever will give the living creatures glory and honor and thanksgiving to the [One] sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages,

will fall the twenty four elders before the [One] sitting upon the throne, and they will worship the [One] living to the ages of the ages, and they will cast the crowns of them before the throne, saying:

Worthy are You Lord and God of us, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of the will of You they were existing and were created.
