as crystal;

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 the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand,

and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and

strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in

heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in

them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon

the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the
