Here’s a poetic rendition of Revelation Chapter 4, capturing its imagery and spiritual essence:
A Vision of the Heavenly Throne
A door in heaven, wide and bright,
A voice like trumpets, beckoning light:
“Come up here and see the plan,
The things to come, decreed for man.”
In the Spirit, I was swept away,
Before a throne, in eternal day.
It gleamed like jasper, fiery, aglow,
Encircled by rainbows, an emerald glow.
The Twenty-Four Elders
Around the throne were seats of gold,
Twenty-four elders, wise and old.
Clothed in white, with crowns they wore,
Praising the One forevermore.
From the throne came lightning, thunder’s roar,
Voices resounding to heaven’s core.
Seven lamps burned, spirits of flame,
Completing the fullness of God’s great name.
The Sea of Crystal
A sea of crystal, calm and clear,
Stretched before the throne in fear.
Living creatures, four in might,
Guarded the throne with endless sight.
One like a lion, bold and strong,
One like an ox, where labor belongs,
One like a man, with wisdom to guide,
One like an eagle, in heavens wide.
The Eternal Praise
Each with wings, they never cease,
Singing of God’s eternal peace:
“Holy, holy, holy is He,
The Lord Almighty, eternally.
Who was, and is, and is to come,
The Mighty Maker, the Eternal One!”
The elders fall and cast their crowns,
Before the throne, where glory abounds.
They cry aloud in reverent tone,
“Praise to Him who sits on the throne!
A Song of Creation
“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive,
Glory and honor, in You we believe.
For by Your will, all things were made,
In heaven’s light, Your power displayed.”
And thus the vision fills my soul,
Of heaven’s wonders, vast and whole.
A throne of glory, forever adored,
The eternal reign of our sovereign Lord.
This poetic version of Revelation 4 seeks to maintain the majestic imagery and profound reverence of John’s vision of the heavenly throne room, capturing its timeless themes of worship, power, and divine sovereignty.
