4:3. And he that sat was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine
stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like
unto an emerald.
4:4. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the
seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments. And
on their heads were crowns of gold.
4:5. And from the throne proceeded lightnings and voices and thunders.
And there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the
seven Spirits of God.
4:6. And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like
to crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne,
were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.
4:7. And the first living creature was like a lion: and the second
living creature like a calf: and the third living creature, having the
face, as it were, of a man: and the fourth living creature was like an
eagle flying.
4:8. And the four living creatures had each of them six wings: and round
about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and
night, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and who is
and who is to come.
4:9. And when those living creatures gave glory and honour and
benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and
ever:
4:10. The four and twenty ancients fell down before him that sitteth on
the throne and adored him that liveth for ever and ever and cast their
crowns before the throne, saying:
4:11. Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and
power. Because thou hast created all things: and for thy will they were
and have been created.
Apocalypse Chapter 5
The book sealed with seven seals is opened by the Lamb, who thereupon
receives adoration and praise from all.
5:1. And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book,
written within and without, sealed with seven seals.
5:2. And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is
worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?
5:3. And no man was able, neither in heaven nor on earth nor under the
earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.
5:4. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book,
nor to see it.
5:5. And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not: behold the lion of
the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
5:6. And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four
living creatures and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing, as
it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven
Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
5:7. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat
on the throne.
5:8. And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the
four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of
them harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of
saints.
The prayers of saints... Here we see that the saints in heaven offer up
to Christ the prayers of the faithful upon earth.
5:9. And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to
take the book and to open the seals thereof: because thou wast slain and
hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and
people and nation:
