The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 4
{4:1} After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven,
and the first voice that I heard, like a [1>]shofar[<1] speaking with
me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things
which must happen after this."
{4:2} Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne
set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne {4:3} that looked like a
jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne,
like an [2>]yahalom[<2] to look at. {4:4} Around the throne were
twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four Zakenim sitting,
dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. {4:5}
Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were
seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven
Spirits of God. {4:6} 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.
{4:7} 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
was like a flying eagle. {4:8} 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, holy, holy,
holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, [3>]Shaddai[<3], who was and
who is and who is to come!"
{4:9} When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him
who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, {4:10} the
twenty-four Zakenim fall down before him who sits on the throne, and
worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before
the throne, saying, {4:11} "Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, the
Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you
created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were
created!"
