Revelation 4:5 — Meaning and Application

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and {there was} a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

And round about the throne {were} four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and {there were} seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

And before the throne {there was} a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, {were} four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

And the first beast {was} like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast {was} like a flying eagle.
