The Apostle John Saw a Door Was Opened in Heaven |
Revelation 4:1-11 The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks] |
After this, I looked, & [saw] a door in heaven was opened. [Revelation 3:7-8 And write to the Angel of the church in Philadelphia, He, [Who] Is Holy, & He is True, He, [Who has] the key of David, & He, [Who opens] [the door,] & no man [shuts,] & [He] [shuts] & no man [opens, says,] these things, I know your [deeds. Watch,] I have [put] an open door [in front of] you, & no man can shut it. For you [have] a little strength, & [have] kept My Word, & [haven't] denied My Name.] |
And the 1st voice [that] I heard was [similar to] a trumpet, talking with me, [who] said, Come up [here] & I will [declare] things [to] you, [that] must be [after this.] And immediately, I was [within] the [Holy] Spirit, & [saw] a throne was [put] in heaven, & One sat on the throne. [Ezekiel 1:26-27 *And above the firmament, [a.k.a. sky,] that was over their heads was the [resemblance] of a throne, [like] the appearance of a sapphire stone, [a.k.a. gem used in jewelry.] And upon the [resemblance] of the throne, was the likeness of a Man [from] above, upon [the throne.] And I saw [what] [appeared] [to be] fire, [like] the [color] of amber, [around,] & within it. [And] from the appearance of his [waist, & upwards], & even [downwards,] I saw [like] it were the appearance of fire, [with its] brightness [all around] [it.] |
And He, [Who] sat was [similar to see] like a jasper & a [sardius] stone. And there was a rainbow [all around] the throne, & [looked similar] to an emerald. [Ezekiel 1:28 [Like] the [resemblance] of the [rainbow] that is in the cloud [on] [a] [rainy] day. [Also] was the appearance of the [rainbow's] brightness [all around it.] This appearance was the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, & I heard a voice of [the] One, [Who spoke.] |
And 24 seats were [all around] the throne. I saw 24 elders sitting upon the seats, clothed in white [garments.] And they had crowns of gold on their heads. [Revelation 11:16-17 And the 24 elders, [who] sat on their seats [in front of] God, fell upon their faces & worshiped God, saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, [Who Is,] & Was, & [Is] to Come; because You [have] taken Your great power to [Yourself,] & [have ruled.] |
And [lightning;] [thunder;] & voices proceeded out of the throne. And there were 7 lamps [with] fire burning [in front of] the throne, which are the 7 Spirits of God. |
And there was a sea of glass, [similar to] crystal, [in front of] the throne. And in the midst of the throne, & [all around] the throne, were 4 beasts, [a.k.a. 4 Living Creatures,] full of eyes [in front of,] & behind [them.] [Ezekiel 1:18 *As for their [rims,] they were so high that they were [dreadfully awesome,] & their [rims] were full of eyes, [all around] [the] 4 [of] them.] |
And 1st [Living Creature] was like a lion. And the 2nd [Living Creature] [was] like a calf. And the 3rd [Living Creature,] had a face [like] a man. And the 4th [Living Creature] was like [an] eagle flying. [Ezekiel 1:10 *As for the likeness of their face, they 4, [each,] had the face of a man, & the face of a lion, on the right side. And they 4 had the face of an ox on the left side. They also had the face of an eagle.] |
And each of the 4 [Living Creatures] had 6 wings [around] him. And they were full of eyes within, & [say,] Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, [Who] Was, & Is, & Is to Come, & they [don't] rest day & night. [Isaiah 6:2-3 *Above it stood the seraphims, [a.k.a. angelic creatures.] Each one had 6 wings. With 2, he covered his face, & with 2, he covered his feet, & with 2, he [flew.] And one cried [out] to another, & said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts. The whole earth is full of His glory.] |
And when those [Living Creatures gave:] glory; [honor,] & thanks to Him, [Who] sat on the throne, & Who [lives] forever & ever, the 24 elders fall down [in front of the Lord God, Who] sat on the throne. And [worshiped] Him, [Who lives] forever & ever, & cast their crowns [in front of] the throne, saying, You, O Lord, [are] worthy, to receive glory, [honor,] & power. For You [have] created all things, & for Your pleasure, they are, [a.k.a. they exist,] & were created. |
