Then a vision came to me I saw a door in heaven standing open And the same voice Which I had heard speaking to me before Loud as the call of a trumpet, said to me Come up to my side And all at once I was in a trance And saw where a throne stood in heaven And one sat there enthroned He who sat there bore The semblance of a jewel Jasper or sardius And there was a rainbow About the throne Like a vision of emerald Round it were twenty-four seats And on these sat twenty-four elders Clothed in white garments With crowns of gold on their heads Lightnings came out from the throne And mutterings, and thunders And before it burned seven lamps Which are the seven spirits of God Facing it was a whole sea of glass, like crystal And in the midst, where the throne was Round the throne itself, were four living figures That had eyes everywhere to see Before them and behind them The first figure was that of a lion The second that of an ox The third had a man's look And the fourth was that of an eagle in flight Each of the four figures had six wings With eyes everywhere looking outwards and inwards Day and night they cried unceasingly Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God And now I saw that he who sat on the throne Carried in his right hand a scroll Then, in my vision The Lamb broke open One of the seven seals And with that I heard one of the Four living figures say, in a voice like thunder Come and look So I looked, and saw there a white horse Whose rider carried a bow A crown was given him And he rode out victorious And to win victory And when he broke the second seal I heard the second figure say Come and look And a second horse came out, fiery-red Whose rider was empowered to Take away all peace from the world Bidding men slay one another And a great sword was given to him And when he broke the third seal I heard the third figure say Come and look So I looked, and saw there a black horse Whose rider carried in his hand a pair of scales I thought, too, I heard a voice That came from where the living figures were A silver piece, it said, for a quart of wheat A silver piece for three quarts of barley But do the wine and the oil no hurt And when he broke the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living figure say Come and look So I looked, and saw there a cream-white horse Its rider was called Death And Hell went at his bridle-rein He was allowed to have his way With all the four quarters of the world Killing men by the sword, by famine By plague, and through wild beasts That roam the earth And when he broke the fifth seal I saw there, beneath the altar The souls of all who had been slain For love of God's word And of the truth they held Crying out with a loud voice Sovereign Lord, the holy, the true How long now before thou wilt sit in judgement And exact vengeance for our blood From all those who dwell on earth Whereupon a white robe was given To each of them, and they were bidden To take their rest a little while longer Until their number had been made up By those others, their brethren and fellow servants Who were to die as they had died Then, in my vision, he broke the sixth seal And with that there was a great earthquake And the sun grew dark as sackcloth And the whole moon blood-red The stars of heaven fell to earth Like unripe fruit shaken from a fig-tree When a high wind rocks it The sky folded up like a scroll And disappeared No mountain, no island But was removed from its place The kings of the world with their noblemen And their captains, men of wealth and of strength All alike, slaves and free men Took shelter in caves and rock-fastnesses Among the hills Fall on us, they said to the hills And the rocks, and hide us from The presence of him who sits on the throne And from the vengeance of the Lamb Which of us can stand his ground Now that the great day The day of their vengeance, has come Then he broke open the seventh seal; and For about half an hour There was silence in heaven
