Revelation 4:1-3 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. After this I looked and there was a door that had been opened in heaven. The first voice that I had heard, which sounded like a trumpet, said to me, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."

2. At once I was in a Spirit-inspired trance and I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was seated on the throne.

3. The one seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and surrounding the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.
