John now says in chapter 4: "After this I looked and saw an open door to heaven... and I heard the invitation to come up here and I will show you what is going to happen... and I was in the Spirit and saw a throne in heaven with someone sat on it... and a rainbow encircled the throne... and surrounding the throne were 24 other thrones with 24 elders sat on them, dressed in white with gold crowns... from the throne came lightening and thunder... and in front of the throne were 7 blazing lamps which are the 7 spirits of God (sevenfold Spirit)... and in front and behind the throne there was a sea of glass... and in the centre were 4 living creatures covered with eyes... the first was like a lion, the second like an ox, the third had a face like a man and the fourth was like a flying eagle... and each creature had 6 wings... and non-stop they chanted Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come... and the 24 elders bowed before the one who sits on the throne... and worshipped him forever... and they laid their crowns before the throne... saying worthy is the Lord God to receive honour, glory and power because you created everything".
