Revelation 4:3 In-Context
1
After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
2
At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
3
And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.
4
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.
5
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
