1. After this I looked. And there was an open door in heaven. The first voice I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2. Immediately I was in the Spirit. And there was a throne set in heaven with One sitting on the throne!
3. And He who sat there appeared like a jasper and a sardius stone. There was a rainbow around the throne, appearing like an emerald.
4. Twenty-four thrones were around the throne. And I saw twenty-four elders sitting on the thrones, clothed in white garments. They had crowns of gold on their heads.
