NASB Bible

Revelation 4

Scene in Heaven

1

After  athese things I looked, and behold,  ba door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard,  clike the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, " dCome up here, and I will  eshow you what must take place after these things."

2

Immediately I was  1 ain the Spirit; and behold,  ba throne was standing in heaven, and  cOne sitting on the throne.

3

And He who was sitting was like a  ajasper stone and a  bsardius in appearance; and there was a  1 crainbow around the throne, like an  demerald in appearance.

4

 aAround the throne were  btwenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw  ctwenty-four elders  dsitting, clothed in  ewhite garments, and  fgolden crowns on their heads.

The Throne and Worship of the Creator

5

Out from the throne come  aflashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were  bseven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are  cthe seven Spirits of God;

6

and before the throne there was something like a  asea of glass, like crystal; and in the  1center and  baround the throne,  cfour living creatures  dfull of eyes in front and behind.

7

 aThe first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

8

And the  afour living creatures, each one of them having  bsix wings, are  cfull of eyes around and within; and  dday and night  1they do not cease to say, " eHOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE  fLORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY,  gWHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO  2IS TO COME."

9

And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who  asits on the throne, to  bHim who lives forever and ever,

10

the  atwenty-four elders will  bfall down before Him who  csits on the throne, and will worship  dHim who lives forever and ever, and will cast their  ecrowns before the throne, saying,

11

aWorthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You  bcreated all things, and because of Your will they  1existed, and were created."
