(NKJV) Revelation 4:1
Chapter 4
The Throne Room of Heaven
1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which 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 behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And He who sat there wasb like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crownsc of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.d Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are thee seven Spirits of God. 6 Before the throne there wasf a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 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. 8 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,g
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “You are worthy, O Lord,h
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they existi and were created.”
(NKJV Notes) Revelation 4:3 4:3 b M-Text omits And He who sat there was (which makes the description in verse 3 modify the throne rather than God).
4:4 c NU-Text and M-Text read robes, with crowns.
4:5 d NU-Text and M-Text read voices, and thunderings.
4:5 e M-Text omits the.
4:6 f NU-Text and M-Text add something like.
4:8 g M-Text has holy nine times.
4:11 h NU-Text and M-Text read our Lord and God.
4:11 i NU-Text and M-Text read existed.
