After^G3326 these^G3778 things^G3778 I looked^G3708, and behold^G2400, a door^G2374 standing open^G455 in heaven^G3772, and the first^G4413 voice^G5456 which^G3739 I had heard^G191, like^G5613 the sound of a trumpet^G4536 speaking^G2980 with me, said^G3004, “Come^G305 up^G305 here^G5602, and I will show^G1166 you what^G3739 must^G1163 take^G1096 place^G1096 after^G3326 these^G3778 things^G3778.”

Rev 4:2

Rev 4:2Immediately I was in the [fn]Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne.

Rev 4:6and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the [fn]center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

Rev 4:7

Rev 4:7The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

Rev 4:8

Rev 4:8And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night [fn]they do not cease to say,

“HOLY^G40, HOLY^G40, HOLY^G40 IS THE LORD^G2962 GOD^G2316, THE ALMIGHTY^G3841, who^G3588 was and who is and who [fn]is to come^G2064.”

And when^G3752 the living^G2226 creatures^G2226 give^G1325 glory^G1391, honor^G5092, and thanks^G2169 to Him who sits^G2521 on the throne^G2362, to Him who lives^G2198 forever^G165 and ever^G165,

“Worthy^G514 are You, our Lord^G2962 and our God^G2316, to receive^G2983 glory^G1391 and honor^G5092 and power^G1411; for You created^G2936 all^G3956 things^G3956, and because^G1223 of Your will^G2307 they [fn]existed^G1510, and were created^G2936.”
