Revelation 4:1-3 AFTER these I saw, and, behold, a door (was) open in heaven. And the first voice that I had heard as a trumpet talking with me, said, Come up hither, and I will make thee see the (things) which must be after these.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AFTER these I saw, and, behold, a door (was) open in heaven. And the first voice that I had heard as a trumpet talking with me, said, Come up hither, and I will make thee see the (things) which must be after these. ² At once I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne [Kursio, a seat of state.] placed in heaven, and upon the throne (One) sat. ³ And he who sat was like to the appearance of the stone of jaspon, and of sardion; and the bow of the clouds was around the throne, in resemblance to the appearance of zmragda.
