1After this I looked, and behold a door was open in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said: come up hither, and I will shew the(thee) things which must be fulfilled hereafter.
2And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a seat was put in heaven, and one sat on the seat.
3And he that sat was to look upon like unto a jasper stone, and a sardyne stone: And there was a rainbow about the seat, to look upon,(in sight) like unto an emerald.(like to a Smaragd)
4And about the seat were twenty four seats. And I saw on(upon) the seats twenty four seniors(elders) sitting clothed in white raiment, and had on their heads crowns of gold.
5And out of the seat proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire, burning before the seat, which are the seven spirits of God.
6And before the seat there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal, and in the midst(mydes) of the seat, and round about the seat, were four beats full of eyes before and behind.
7And the first beast was like a lion, the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8And the four beasts had each one of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day neither night saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord(is the LORDE) God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9And when those beasts gave glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the seat, which liveth evermore,(for ever and ever:)
10the twenty four seniors fell down before the throne, before him that sat on the throne,(the xxiiii. elders fell down before him that sat on the trone) and worshipped him that liveth (for) ever, and cast their crowns before the throne saying:
11thou art worthy (O) Lord (our God) to receive glory, and honour, and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy will's sake they are, and were created.
