4:1 After these things I saw, and behold— there was an opened door in heaven, and the first voice which I heard speaking with me like [the sound] of a trumpet saying, “Come-up here and I will show you the things which must take-place after these things”.
4:2 Immediately I came-to-be in the Spirit. And behold— a throne was setting there in heaven, and One sitting on the throne.
4:3 And the One sitting was resembling a jasper stone and a carnelian in appearance. And a rainbow was around the throne resembling an emerald in appearance.
4:4 And around the throne I saw twenty four thrones. And on the thrones I saw twenty four elders sitting, having been clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads.
4:5 And lightnings and voices and thunders are coming-out from the throne. And seven torches of fire are burning before the throne (which are the seven Spirits of God).
4:6 And before the throne is something like a sea of-glass, resembling crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne are four living-creatures being full of eyes on the front and on the back.
4:7 And the first living-creature is resembling a lion. And the second living-creature is resembling a calf. And the third living-creature is having the face like of a man. And the fourth living-creature is resembling a flying eagle.
4:8 And the four living-creatures, each one of them having six wings apiece, are full of eyes around and inside. And they do not have a rest by day and by night, saying “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, the One Who was and Who is and Who is coming”.
4:9 And whenever the living-creatures will give glory and honor and thanks to the One sitting on the throne, to the One living forever and ever,
4:10 the twenty four elders will fall before the One sitting on the throne, and will give-worship to the One living forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying
4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things. And they existed and were created because-of Your will”.
