10 Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb.
After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and glory and power be to our God:
Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)
And there will be no more curse: and the high seat of God and of the Lamb will be there; and his servants will be worshipping him;
And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.
The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.
I, even I, am the Lord; and there is no saviour but me.
And to my ears came the voice of everything in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and of all things which are in them, saying, To him who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb, may blessing and honour and glory and power be given for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, So be it. And the rulers went down on their faces and gave worship.
But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
And when the beasts give glory and honour to him who is seated on the high seat, to him who is living for ever and ever, The four and twenty rulers go down on their faces before him who is seated on the high seat, and give worship to him who is living for ever and ever, and take off their crowns before the high seat, saying, It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.
And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.
You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.
And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.
But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
