The Throne in Heaven

4 After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”

2 At once I was in [the] Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, [with] [someone] seated on [it]. 3 The [One] seated there looked like jasper and carnelian and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne [were] twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white [with] golden crowns on their heads.
