1After these things I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven, and the first voice I heard like a trumpet speaking with me said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things."
2And immediately I came to be in the pneuma(spirit), and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and on the throne One seated,
3and the One seated was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius, and a rainbow around the throne in appearance like an emerald.
4And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the twenty-four thrones twenty-four elders seated, clothed in white garments and with golden crowns on their heads.
5And from the throne proceed flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder, and seven torches of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven pneumata(spirits) of God.
6And before the throne something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal, and in the midst of the throne and around the throne four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.
7And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature was like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
8And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings apiece, are full of eyes around and within, and they do not cease day and night saying, "Hagio(holy), hagio(holy), hagio(holy) is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming."
9And whenever the living creatures give doxa(glory) and honor and thanksgiving to the One seated on the throne, to the One living forever and ever,
10the twenty-four elders fall before the One seated on the throne and worship the One living forever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11"Worthy are You, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive doxa(glory) and honor and dynamis(power), for You created all things, and by Your thelema(will) they existed and were created."
