Revelation 4 Summary

The Throne Room of Heaven

A door stands open in heaven. John is caught up in the Spirit. He sees a throne with one seated on it, flashing lightning, surrounded by a sea of glass. Twenty-four elders in white cast their crowns before the throne. Four living creatures cry without ceasing: holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.
