          DASV: Revelation 4

1 After these things I looked and there was a door opened in
heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet
speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you
what must come to pass after these things."
2 Instantly I was in the Spirit, and there was a throne in
heaven, and one sitting on the throne.
3 The one who was sitting on it looked like jasper and carnelian,
and there was a rainbow around the throne that looked like an
emerald.
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. I saw twenty-four
elders sitting on the thrones, dressed in white robes, and on
their heads were crowns of gold.
5 Out of the throne lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. There
were seven flaming torches before the throne, which are the
seven spirits of God.
6 Before the throne, there was something like a sea of glass that
looked like crystal. In the center around the throne, were four
living creatures full of eyes both in the front and back.
7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature
like an ox, the third creature had a human face, and the fourth
creature was like a flying eagle.
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings full of eyes
all around and within. They never rest day or night, saying,
"Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who
is and who is to come."
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to
him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the
throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and cast
their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive the glory, honor,
and power; for you created all things, and because of your
will they exist and were created."
