And I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, in the world below, and in the sea-all living beings in the universe-and they were singing: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honour, glory and might, for ever and ever.’ The four living creatures answered, ‘Amen!’ And the… Read more
