Title: Sermon Notes.pro Revelation 4:1 1After 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, Revelation 4:1 and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. Revelation 4:3 3And 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. Revelation 4:4 4Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their Revelation 4:5 heads. 5From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were Revelation 4:5 burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, Revelation 4:6 6and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of Revelation 4:6 the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: Revelation 4:7 7the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a Revelation 4:7 man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. Revelation 4:8 8And 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, Revelation 4:8 “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” Revelation 4:9 9And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, Revelation 4:10 10the 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, Revelation 4:11 saying, 11“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, Revelation 4:11 for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Revelation 5:1 1Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Revelation 5:2 2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” Revelation 5:3 3And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, Revelation 5:4 4and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. Revelation 5:5 5And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, Revelation 5:5 so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:6 6And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been Revelation 5:6 slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Revelation 5:7 7And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. Revelation 5:8 8And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each Revelation 5:8 holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Revelation 5:9 9And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, Revelation 5:9 for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, Revelation 5:10 10and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:11 11Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, Revelation 5:11 numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, Revelation 5:12 12saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might Revelation 5:12 and honor and glory and blessing!” Revelation 5:13 13And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, Revelation 5:13 “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” Revelation 5:14 14And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
