Lamb that has been slain, to receive
the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory,
and blessing. (13)And every creature which is in heaven, and on the
earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that are in them,
I heard saying: To him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, be
the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, forever
and ever. (14)And the four animals said: Amen. And the elders fell
down and worshiped.

AND I saw, when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four animals saying, as a voice of thunder: Come! (2)And I
saw, and behold a white horse, and he who sat on him having a bow; and
a crown was given to him; and he went forth conquering, and to

(9)And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of those slain on account of the word of God, and on account of the

should rest yet a little time, until also their fellow-servants and
their brethren, who are about to be killed as they were, should be
fully numbered.
