the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6
And before the throne
there was
a sea of glass like
unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne,
were
four beasts full of
eyes before and behind.
7
And the first beast
was
like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and
the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast
was
like a flying eagle.
8
And the four
beasts had each of them six wings about
him;
and
they were
full of eyes within: and they rest not
day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9
And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth
for ever and ever,
10
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and
worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11
Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for
thy pleasure they are and were created.
CHAPTER 5
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside,
sealed with seven seals.
2
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy
to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under
the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4
And I wept much, because no man
was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5
And one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed
to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the
throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8
And when
he had taken the book, the four beasts and four
and
twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having
every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9
And
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for
thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and
people, and nation;
10
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the
earth.
11
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts
and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands;
12
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13
And every creature which
is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in
them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be
unto him that sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four
and
twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
