Revelation 4

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 4 of 22

1 After these things I saw. And behold, a door being opened in Heaven! And I heard the first voice as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you what needs to happen after these things.

2 And at once I became in spirit. And, behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and One sitting on the throne.

3 And the One sitting was in appearance like a jasper stone, and a sardius; and a rainbow was around the throne, in appearance of emeralds.
