  • Revelation 4:1-11
    After this I looked, and there in front of me was a door standing open in heaven. I heard the voice I had heard before. It sounded like a trumpet. The voice said,“ Come up here. I will show you what must happen after this.”At once the Holy Spirit gave me a vision. There in front of me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.The one who sat there shone like jasper and ruby. Around the throne was a rainbow shining like an emerald.Twenty- four other thrones surrounded that throne. Twenty- four elders were sitting on them. The elders were dressed in white. They had gold crowns on their heads.From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and thunder. Seven lamps were blazing in front of the throne. These stand for the seven spirits of God.There was something that looked like a sea of glass in front of the throne. It was as clear as crystal. In the inner circle, around the throne, were four living creatures. They were covered with eyes, in front and in back.The first creature looked like a lion. The second looked like an ox. The third had a man’s face. The fourth looked like a flying eagle.Each of the four living creatures had six wings. Each creature was covered all over with eyes. It had eyes even under its wings. Day and night, they never stop saying,“‘ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God who rules over all.’( Isaiah 6:3) He was, and he is, and he will come.”The living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever.At the same time, the 24 elders fall down and worship the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne. They say,“ You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. This is the way you planned it.”
  • Revelation 1:11-2:3
    The voice said,“ Write on a scroll what you see. Send it to the seven churches in Asia Minor. They are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”I turned around to see who was speaking to me. When I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.In the middle of them was someone who looked“ like a son of man.”( Daniel 7:13) He was dressed in a long robe with a gold strip of cloth around his chest.The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a blazing fire.His feet were like bronze metal glowing in a furnace. His voice sounded like rushing waters.He held seven stars in his right hand. Coming out of his mouth was a sharp sword with two edges. His face was like the sun shining in all its brightness.When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. Then he put his right hand on me and said,“ Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.I am the Living One. I was dead. But now look! I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys to Death and Hell.“ So write down what you have seen. Write about what is happening now and what will happen later.Here is the meaning of the mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand. They are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven golden lampstands you saw stand for the seven churches.“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Ephesus. Here are the words of Jesus, who holds the seven stars in his right hand. He also walks among the seven golden lampstands. He says,‘ I know what you are doing. You work long and hard. I know you can’t put up with evil people. You have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not. You have found out that they are liars.You have been faithful and have put up with a lot of trouble because of me. You have not given up.
