I heard the first voice like a trumpet speaking to me. It said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this." | 1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this." | 1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will shew thee the things which must take place after these things. | 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne. | 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. | 2 Instantly, I came under the Spirit's power. I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was sitting on it. | 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne | 2 Immediately I became in the Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting, | 3 And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. | 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. | 3 The one sitting there looked like gray quartz and red quartz. There was a rainbow around the throne which looked like an emerald. | 3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at. | 3 and he that was sitting like in appearance to a stone of jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald. | 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads. | 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. | 4 Around that throne were 24 other thrones, and on these thrones sat 24 leaders wearing white clothes. They had gold crowns on their heads. | 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. | 4 And round the throne twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white garments; and on their heads golden crowns. | The Throne and Worship of the Creator |
| 5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; | 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. | 5 Lightning, noise, and thunder came from the throne. Seven flaming torches were burning in front of the throne. These are the seven spirits of God. | 5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. | 5 And out of the throne go forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and seven lamps of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
