And one of the elders said to me, Weep not; behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered, he is opening the book and its seven seals.

The noise

And there proceeded from the throne lightnings and voices and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God,

and cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. And when he cried, seven thunders spoke their words.

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenant appeared in his temple, and there were lightnings and voices and thunders and great hail.

One

And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second cherub say, Come.

and before the throne was as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and about the throne were four living ones [cherubs] full of eyes before and behind.

for we cannot but tell what we have seen and heard.
