Rev. 4:1‑6:17• 1After these things I saw, and, behold, a door opened in the heaven; and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet talking with me said, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass after these.
2[And] immediately I was in {i}the{/i} Spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting:
3and he that sat in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius: and a rainbow round about the throne in appearance like an emerald.
4And round about the throne {i}were{/i} twenty-four thrones: and upon the twenty-four thrones {i}I saw{/i} elders sitting clothed in white garments, and upon their heads golden crowns.
5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;
6and before the throne as a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind:
7and the first living creature like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
8And the four living creatures, having each of them six wings, round about and within are full of eyes; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty that was and that is and that is to come.
9And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne unto the ages of the ages,
10the twenty-four elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth unto the ages of the ages, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11Thou art worthy, O Lord [and our God], to receive the glory and the honour and the power: for thou createdest all things, and because of thy will they were and were created.
1And I saw upon the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?
3And no one in the heaven nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book neither to look thereon.
4And I wept much, because no one was able to open the book neither to look thereon.
5And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the lion hath overcome that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, that openeth the book and the seven seals thereof.
6And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7And he came and took [the book] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which is the prayers of the saints.
9And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain and hast bought [us] to God by thy blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;
10and hast made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.
11And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that is slain to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.
13And every creature which is in the heaven and on the earth and under the earth and [such as are] on the sea and all things in them heard I saying, To him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb {i}be{/i} the blessing and the honour and the glory and the might unto the ages of the ages.
14And the four living creatures said, Amen: and the elders fell down and worshipped.
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come.
2And I saw, and, behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon him having a bow; and there was given him a crown: and he came out conquering and that he might conquer.
3And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
4And there came out another horse {i}that was{/i} red: and to him that sat upon him it was given him to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given him a great sword.
5And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and, behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon him had a balance in his hand.
6And I heard [as] a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and the oil and the wine thou must not hurt.
7And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature's voice saying, Come.
8And I saw, and, behold, a pale horse, and his name that sat on him {i}was{/i} death, and hades followed with him; and there was given him authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and by the beasts of the earth.
9And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they held.
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell on the earth?
11And there was given them [each] a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet for a [little] space, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren should be completed that were to be killed even as they.
12And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
13and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree shaken by a great wind casteth its untimely figs.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth and the great men and the chiliarchs and the rich and the mighty and every bondman and freeman hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
16and they say to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17for the great day of his wrath is come; and who is able to stand? (Rev. 4:1‑6:17)
