Then<n id="1" /> he came and took the scroll<n id="2" /> from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne,

Immediately I was in the Spirit,<n id="1" /> and<n id="2" /> a throne was standing<n id="3" /> in heaven with someone seated on it!

And the one seated on it was like jasper<n id="1" /> and carnelian<n id="2" /> in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emerald<n id="3" /> encircled the throne.

<p class="bodytext">And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor,<n id="1" /> and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back<n id="2" /> and sealed with seven seals.<n id="3" />

They were shouting out in a loud voice,p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;Salvation belongs to our God,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">to the one seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God threw themselves down with their faces to the ground<n id="2" /> and worshiped God

So<n id="1" /> the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.p>

(This requires<n id="1" /> a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains<n id="2" /> the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the angel<n id="2" /> said to me, &#8220;The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes,<n id="3" /> nations, and languages.

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground<n id="1" /> and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: &#8220;Amen! Hallelujah!&#8221;p>

In<n id="1" /> a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were<n id="2" /> dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns<n id="3" /> on their heads.

the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground<n id="1" /> before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns<n id="2" /> before his<n id="3" /> throne, saying:p>

So<n id="1" /> I looked,<n id="2" /> and here came<n id="3" /> a white horse! The<n id="4" /> one who rode it<n id="5" /> had a bow, and he was given a crown,<n id="6" /> and as a conqueror<n id="7" /> he rode out to conquer.p>

And another horse, fiery red,<n id="1" /> came out, and the one who rode it<n id="2" /> was granted permission<n id="3" /> to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher<n id="4" /> one another, and he was given a huge sword.p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> when the Lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living creature saying, &#8220;Come!&#8221; So<n id="2" /> I looked,<n id="3" /> and here came<n id="4" /> a black horse! The<n id="5" /> one who rode it<n id="6" /> had a balance scale<n id="7" /> in his hand.

They<n id="1" /> said to the mountains and to the rocks, &#8220;Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who is seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,<n id="2" />

For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve<n id="1" /> him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw another<n id="2" /> angel flying directly overhead,<n id="3" /> and he had<n id="4" /> an eternal gospel to proclaim<n id="5" /> to those who live<n id="6" /> on the earth &#8211; to every nation, tribe,<n id="7" /> language, and people.

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I looked, and a white cloud appeared,<n id="2" /> and seated <i>on the cloud was one like a son of man!i><n id="3" /> He had<n id="4" /> a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
