WeeKly BooK oF Revelation
paraphrased study
1 - After this, and look! A door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I (disciple/apostle John) had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 And at once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne standing in heaven, and upon the throne one was sitting. 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper [a “clear stone”] and carnelian [a “fiery red stone”] and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders (white and gray haired?) clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder (note: count one of such descriptions) and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, 6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight. (Character of God? - clear as crystal - that man is being formed into? By the slow motion fiery gehenna that’s life as we presently know it.. the crucible, laver and sieve. Into the ‘new’/totally born again nature of inner strength like a lion, able to work (and peacefully graze:) like an ox, being always humane, with high perception/understanding? Ever lofty and flying high? ..Emerald green, real..? Actually quite down to earth..?)
