1 | After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this." | Rev 1:1-3 |
2 | Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne | Rev 1:10 Rev 17:3 Rev 21:10 Ezk 3:12-14 |
3 | that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at. | Rev 21:11 Rev 21:19 Rev 21:20 Ex 24:10 Ezk 1:26 Ezk 28:13 |
4 | Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. | Rev 11:16 Rev 20:4 Mt 19:28 Lk 22:30 |
5 | Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. | Rev 8:5 Rev 11:19 Rev 16:17 Rev 16:18 Ex 19:16 Ex 20:18 Ps 18:13 Ps 18:14 Ps 68:35 Jl 3:16 Heb 12:18-29 |
6 | Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like a crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. | Rev 15:2 Ex 38:8 1Ki 7:23 |
7 | The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. | Rev 4:6 Gn 49:9 Nm 2:2-34 Nm 23:24 Nm 24:9 Pr 28:2 Ezk 1:10 Ezk 10:14 Ezk 10:21 |
8 | and the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes around about and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. | Isa 6:2-13 Ezk 1:6 Ezk 10:21 Ezk 10:22 2Ti 4:2 |
9 | When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, | Rev 5:13 Rev 5:14 Rev 7:11 Rev 7:12 |
10 | the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and will throw their crowns before the throne, saying, | Rev 5:8 Rev 5:14 Rev 19:4 Jb 1:20 Ps 72:11 Mt 2:11 |
11 | "Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created." | Rev 5:2 Rev 5:9 Rev 5:12 2Sa 22:4 Ps 18:3 |
