Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Revelation 4
⁴ Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
⁵ And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. seven Spirits of God.
⁶ Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
⁷ The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
⁸ The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
⁹ Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
¹¹ "You are worthy, O Lord, and were created."
Revelation 5
¹ And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
² Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"
³ And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
