1 此後,我再觀看,見天上有一扇門開了,又聽見剛才那個像號角般響亮的聲音對我說:「你上這裡來,我要把以後必發生的事指示給你看。」2 我便立刻被聖靈感動,看見天上安設著一個寶座,有一位坐在寶座上,3 閃耀著碧玉和紅寶石般的光彩。有一道翡翠般的彩虹圍繞著寶座。4 寶座的周圍設有二十四個座位,有二十四位長老坐在上面,他們身穿白袍,頭戴金冠。5 從寶座中有閃電、響聲、雷鳴發出,寶座前面燃燒著七把火炬,代表[1]上帝的七靈。6 寶座前還有一個水晶般的玻璃海,寶座的四周有四個活物,他們前後都長滿了眼睛。7 第一個活物像獅子,第二個像牛犢,第三個有人的面孔,第四個像飛鷹。8 這四個活物各有三對翅膀,翅膀內外都長滿眼睛。他們晝夜不停地說: 「聖哉!聖哉!聖哉! 主上帝是昔在、今在、 以後永在的全能者。」9 每逢這些活物將榮耀、尊貴、感謝獻給坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠的那位時,10 二十四位長老就俯伏在坐寶座的那位面前,敬拜那位永活者,又摘下他們頭上的冠冕,放在寶座前,說:11 「我們的主,我們的上帝, 你配得榮耀、尊貴和權能, 因你創造了萬物, 萬物都因你的旨意被創造而存在。」

1 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” (出19:19; 启1:1; 启1:10; 启1:19; 启11:12; 启22:6)2 At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. (王上22:19; 诗11:4; 诗103:19; 赛66:1; 太5:34; 太23:22; 启1:10)3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. (创9:13; 结1:28; 启10:1; 启21:11)4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. (雅1:12; 启3:4; 启4:10; 启11:16)5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings[1] and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, (出19:16; 亚4:2; 启1:4; 启8:5; 启11:19; 启16:18)6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: (诗77:19; 结1:5; 结10:12; 启15:2; 启21:18; 启21:21)7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. (结1:10; 结10:14)8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” (赛6:2; 赛6:3; 启1:4; 启4:6; 启14:11)9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (但4:34; 但12:7; 启1:18; 启5:13; 启15:7)10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (启4:4; 启5:8; 启5:14; 启7:11; 启11:16; 启19:4)11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” (创1:1; 诗33:9; 徒14:15; 弗1:11; 启5:12; 启10:6; 启14:7)
