Revelation 4

John is taken up to heaven in the Spirit. He sees a magnificent throne surrounded by a rainbow, where God the Father is seated. Around the throne are twenty-four elders clothed in white, representing the redeemed. He sees four living creatures (like a lion, ox, man, and eagle) covered with eyes, continuously crying out, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty." The elders fall down and cast their crowns before the throne in continuous worship.
