the shame of your nakedness not appear, and an eye-salve to anoint your
eyes that you may see. [3:19]As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten;
be zealous therefore and change your minds. [3:20]Behold, I stand at
the door and knock; if any one shall hear my voice and open the door, I
will enter in to him, and feast with him, and he with me. [3:21]To him
that conquers will I give to sit down with me on my throne, as I
conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. [3:22]Let him that
has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

CHAPTER III.

THE HEAVENLY WORLD, THE THRONE OF GOD AND HIS COURT--THE ELDERS,
CHERUBS, SEALED BOOK, LAMB, ETC.

1 [4:1]AFTER this I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and
