Revelation 4:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 And around the throne I saw twenty four thrones. And on the thrones I saw twenty four elders sitting, having been clothed in white garments, and golden crowns[a] on their heads. 5 And lightnings[b] and voices[c] and thunders[d] are coming-out from the throne. And seven torches[e] of fire are burning before the throne (which are the seven[f] Spirits of God). 6 And before the throne is something like a sea of-glass[g], resembling crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne are four living-creatures[h] being full of eyes on the front and on the back.
