1After these things I looked and behold a door was standing open in heaven and the first voice that I heard was like as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here and I will show to you what must take place after (with) these things. 2Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set (laid) in heaven and One sitting upon the throne, 3And the One sitting, similar in appearance (vision) to a jasper and a sardius stone; and a rainbow (greek & latin-iris) in a circle round about the throne, similar in appearance to an emerald. 4And in a circle round about the throne were twenty four thrones; and twenty four elders (presbyterous) sitting upon the thrones, having been clothed in white garments; and golden crowns (latin-coronas-crowns) upon their heads.

5And from out of the throne go forth flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunderings. And there were seven lamps of fire burning in the sight of the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6And in sight of the throne was something like a glassy (glass, transparent like glass) sea, similar to crystal (greek-krystallo). And in the midst (middle) of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures (latin-animalia-animals), being full of eyes in front and behind; 7And the first living creature (latin-animal) was similar to a lion; and the second living creature, similar to a calf; and the third living creature having the face like as a man; and the fourth living creature, similar to an eagle flying. 8And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings; full of eyes all around (latin-circuitu-round) and within and they have no rest (cease from labor) day and night, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, the One having been and the One being and the One coming. 9And whenever the living creatures give (offer) glory, and value (honor), and thanksgiving, to the One sitting upon the throne living unto the ages of the ages, 10The twenty four elders fall in the sight of the One sitting upon the throne and they worship the One living unto the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before (in sight of) the throne, saying, 11Worthy are You, our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and value (honor) and power; because you created all things and through Your will (wish, desire) they existed and were created.
