1
After these things I saw, and see - a door stood opened in the heavens, and the first voice which I heard, like a shofar speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I shall show you the things that must happen after these."
2
Immediately I came to be in Ruach, and see - a throne was set in the heavens, and One sat upon the throne.
3
And the One sitting was in appearance like jasper and carnelian stone, and a rainbow like emerald encircled the throne.
4
And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns upon their heads.
5
And from the throne came flashes of lightning, voices, and thunders; and seven lamps of fire burned before the throne, which are the seven ruachot of Elohim.
6
And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living beings, full of eyes before and behind.
7
And the first living being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face like an Adam, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle.
8
And the four living beings, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within, and they do not rest day and night, saying: "Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart is Yahuah Elohim, El Shaddai, the One who was, and who is, and who is coming."
9
And whenever the living beings give glory, honor, and thanksgiving to the One sitting upon the throne, the One living to the ages of the ages,
10
the twenty-four elders fall before the One sitting upon the throne and bow before the One living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11
"Worthy are You, Yahuah and our Elohim, to receive glory and honor and power, because You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created."
