Kiti Cha Enzi Kilichoko Mbinguni
14:1 Ufu 1:10; 11:12; 1:19Baada ya mambo hayo nilitazama, nami nikaona mbele yangu mlango uliokuwa wazi mbinguni. Nayo ile sauti niliyokuwa nimeisikia hapo mwanzo ikisema nami kama tarumbeta ikasema, “Njoo, huku, nami nitakuonyesha yale ambayo hayana budi kutokea baada ya haya.” 24:2 1Fal 22:19; Ufu 20:11Ghafula nilikuwa katika Roho, na hapo mbele yangu kilikuwepo kiti cha enzi mbinguni, kikiwa kimekaliwa na mtu. 34:3 Eze 1:28Aliyekuwa amekikalia alikuwa anaonekana kama yaspi na akiki. Kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi palikuwa na upinde wa mvua ulioonekana kama zumaridi.
44:4 Ufu 11:16; 3:4-5Kukizunguka hicho kiti cha enzi palikuwa na viti vingine vya enzi ishirini na vinne, na juu ya hivyo viti walikuwa wameketi wazee ishirini na wanne. Walivaa mavazi meupe, na walikuwa na taji za dhahabu vichwani mwao. 54:5 Kut 19:16; Zek 4:2; Ufu 1:4Kwenye kile kiti cha enzi palikuwa panatoka miali ya umeme wa radi, ngurumo na sauti za radi. Mbele ya kiti cha enzi, taa saba zilikuwa zinawaka. Hizi ndizo roho saba4:5 Roho saba za Mungu hapa inamaanisha Roho wa Mungu katika ukamilifu wa utendaji wake. za Mungu. 64:6 Ufu 15:2; Eze 1:5-10Pia mbele ya kiti cha enzi palikuwa na kile kilichoonekana kama bahari ya kioo, iliyokuwa angavu kama bilauri.
Katikati, kukizunguka kile kiti cha enzi, kulikuwa na viumbe wanne wenye uhai, wakiwa wamejawa na macho mbele na nyuma. 74:7 Eze 10:14Kiumbe wa kwanza mwenye uhai alikuwa kama simba, wa pili alikuwa kama ngʼombe dume, wa tatu alikuwa na uso kama wa mwanadamu, na wa nne alikuwa kama tai anayeruka. 84:8 Isa 6:2-3; Ufu 1:4-8Kila mmoja wa hawa viumbe wanne wenye uhai alikuwa na mabawa sita, na kujawa na macho pande zote hadi chini ya mabawa. Usiku na mchana hawaachi kusema:
“Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu,
ni Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi,
aliyekuwako, aliyeko na atakayekuja.”
94:9 Za 47:8Kila mara viumbe hao wanne wenye uhai wanapomtukuza, kumheshimu na kumshukuru yeye aketiye kwenye kile kiti cha enzi, tena aishiye milele na milele, 104:10 Kum 33:3wale wazee ishirini na wanne huanguka mbele zake aketiye kwenye kiti cha enzi na kumwabudu yeye aliye hai milele na milele. Huziweka taji zao mbele ya kiti cha enzi, wakisema:
114:11 Ufu 1:6; 10:6“Bwana wetu na Mungu wetu,
wewe unastahili kupokea utukufu
na heshima na uweza,
kwa maana ndiwe uliyeviumba vitu vyote,
na kwa mapenzi yako viliumbwa
na vimekuwako.”
1After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4And 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. 5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
