Scene in Heaven

(Isa 6:1–3 )
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:1 -

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 4:2 - Immediately I was in the [fn]Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne.

“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, who was and who is and who [fn]is to come.”

And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,
