Afterthese thingsI looked,and behold,a door[standing] openin heaven,and the firstvoicewhichI had heard,like[the sound] of a trumpetspeakingwith me, said,"Comeup here,and I will showyou whatmusttake placeafterthese things."
Now theseare the namesof the sonsof Israelwho cameto Egyptwith Jacob;they cameeachonewith his household:
Then the LORDsaidto him, "Godownand comeup [again], you and Aaronwith you; but do not let the priestsand the peoplebreakthroughto comeup to the LORD,orHe will breakforthupon them."
Now the LORDsaidto Moses,"Comeup to Me on the mountainand remainthere,and I will giveyou the stonetabletswith the lawand the commandmentwhichI have writtenfor their instruction."
For it is betterthat it be saidto you, "Comeup here,"Thanfor you to be placedlowerin the presenceof the prince,Whomyour eyeshave seen.
Now it cameabout in the thirtiethyear,on the fifth[day] of the fourthmonth,while I was by the riverChebaramongthe exiles,the heavenswere openedand I sawvisionsof God.
After being baptized,Jesuscameup immediatelyfrom the water;and behold,the heavenswere opened,and he sawthe Spiritof Goddescendingas a dove[and] lightingon Him,
Immediatelycomingup out of the water,He sawthe heavensopening,and the Spiritlikea dovedescendingupon Him;
Nowwhenallthe peoplewere baptized,Jesuswas alsobaptized,and while He was praying,heavenwas opened,
"But whenHe, the Spiritof truth,comes,He will guideyou into allthe truth;for He will not speakon His own initiative,but whateverHe hears,He will speak;and He will discloseto you what is to come.
and he sawthe skyopenedup, and an objectlikea greatsheetcomingdown, loweredby fourcornersto the ground,
and he said,"Behold,I seethe heavensopenedup and the Sonof Manstandingat the right handof God."
I was in the Spiriton the Lord'sday,and I heardbehindme a loudvoicelike[the sound] of a trumpet,
ThenI turnedto seethe voicethat was speakingwith me. And having turnedI sawsevengoldenlampstands;
"Thereforewritethe things whichyou have seen,and the things whichare, and the things whichwill take placeafterthese things.
And they hearda loudvoicefrom heavensayingto them, "Comeup here."Thenthey wentup into heavenin the cloud,and their enemieswatchedthem.
And the templeof Godwhich is in heavenwas opened;and the arkof His covenantappearedin His temple,and there were flashes of lightningand soundsand peals of thunderand an earthquakeand a greathailstorm.
Thenthe seventh[angel] pouredout his bowlupon the air,and a loudvoicecameout of the templefrom the throne,saying,"It is done."
And I sawheavenopened,and behold,a whitehorse,and He who saton it [is] calledFaithfuland true,and in righteousnessHe judgesand wages war.
And he saidto me, "Thesewordsare faithfuland true";and the Lord,the Godof the spiritsof the prophets,sentHis angelto showto His bond-servantsthe things whichmustsoontake place.
