003:017 You say, I am rich, and have wealth stored up, and I stand in need of nothing; and you do not know that if there is a wretched creature it is *you*—pitiable, poor, blind, naked.
003:018 Therefore I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined in the fire that you may become rich, and white robes to put on, so as to hide your shameful nakedness, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, so that you may be able to see.
003:019 All whom I hold dear, I reprove and chastise; therefore be in earnest and repent.
003:020 I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens
to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him
and will feast with him, and he shall feast with Me.
003:021 "'To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of sitting
down with Me on My throne, as I also have overcome and have
sat down with My Father on His throne.
003:022 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'"
004:001 After all this I looked and saw a door in Heaven standing open, and the voice that I had previously heard, which resembled the blast of a trumpet, again spoke to me and said, "Come up here, and I will show you things which are to happen in the future."
004:002 Immediately I found myself in the Spirit, and saw a throne in Heaven, and some One sitting on the throne.
004:003 The appearance of Him who sat there was like jasper or sard;
and encircling the throne was a rainbow, in appearance
like an emerald.
004:004 Surrounding the throne there were also twenty-four other thrones,
on which sat twenty-four Elders clothed in white robes,
with victors' wreaths of gold upon their heads.
