I'm a name's Father Mike Schmidt and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture.

The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation.

That's where we are discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today into state 360.

That sounds like a good number, kind of very circular.

And we are reading from Revelation chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7. Okay, as well as the book of Titus, a letter of Paul Titus, chapters 1, 2, and 3.

It might be a big day today. You probably already know that it's also Proverbs chapter 31 verses 10 to 15.

As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.

I'm using the great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in the year reading plan for these last few days, you can visit AscensionPress.com slash Bible in the year.

You know that is day 360. We're reading Revelation 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Titus 1, 2, and 3. Proverbs chapter 31 verses 10 to 15.

The Revelation to John chapter 4. The Heavenly Worship.

After this, I looked and behold in heaven an open door.

And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said,

come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this. At once I was in the Spirit and behold a throne stood in heaven with one seated on the throne.

And he who sat there appeared like Jasper and Carnelian and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

Round the throne were 24 thrones, and seated on the thrones were 24 elders clothed in white garments with golden crowns upon their heads.

From the throne issued flashes of lightning and voices and peals of thunder, and before the throne burned seven torches of fire which are the seven spirits of God.

And before the throne there is as it were a sea of glass like crystal.

And round the throne on each side of the throne are four living creatures full of eyes and front and behind, the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.

And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing,

holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.
