2 At once I was ⁱin the Spirit, ^jand behold, a ^kthrone stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a ^lrainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were ^mtwenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came ⁿflashes of lightning, and rumblings¹ and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are ^othe seven spirits of God, 6 and before the throne there was as it were a ^psea of glass, like ^qcrystal.

And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are ^rfour living creatures, ^sfull of eyes in front and behind:

9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders ^yfall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne ^aa scroll written within and on the back, ^bsealed with seven seals.

7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.

13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

16 calling to the mountains and rocks, ^s“Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation ^dbelongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

4 And the ^ctwenty-four elders and the ^dfour living creatures ^efell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, ^f“Amen. Hallelujah!”

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky ^kfled away, and ^lno place was found for them.

5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, ^y“Write this down, for ^zthese words are trustworthy and true.”
