Book of Revelation

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

The four living creatures,

each having six wings,

were full of eyes around and within.

and they do not rest day or night saying:

"Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God Almighty,

Who was and is and is to come!"

The first living creature was like a lion,

the second living creature like a calf,

the third living creature had a face like a man,

and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

Before the throne was

....a sea of glass, like crystal.

In the midst of the throne and around the throne

....four living creatures - full of eyes in front and in back.

And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.

Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne,

which are the seven Spirits of God.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones,

and on the thrones I saw

twenty-four elders sitting,

clothed in white robes;

and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

And He who sat there was like:

....a jasper

....a sardius stone in appearance

and

.....there was a rainbow around the throne,

in appearance like an emerald.
