004:005 Out from the throne there came flashes of lightning, and voices,
and peals of thunder, while in front of the throne seven blazing
lamps were burning, which are the seven Spirits of God.
004:006 And in front of the throne there seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal. And midway between the throne and the Elders, and surrounding the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.
004:007 The first living creature resembled a lion, the second an ox, the third had a face like that of a man, and the fourth resembled an eagle flying.
004:008 And each of the four living creatures had six wings, and in every direction, and within, are full of eyes; and day after day, and night after night, they never cease saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Ruler of all, who wast and art and evermore shalt be."
004:009 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks
to Him who is seated on the throne, and lives until the Ages
of the Ages,
004:010 the twenty-four Elders fall down before Him who sits on the
throne and worship Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages,
and they cast their wreaths down in front of the throne,
004:011 saying, "It is fitting, O our Lord and God, That we should ascribe unto Thee the glory and the honor and the power; For Thou didst create all things, And because it was Thy will they came into existence, and were created."
005:001 And I saw lying in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne
a book written on both sides and closely sealed with seven seals.
005:002 And I saw a mighty angel who was exclaiming in a loud voice,
"Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?"
005:003 But no one in Heaven, or on earth, or under the earth,
was able to open the book or look into it.
