Revelation 4:1 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

After everything I just saw, I looked up and there was literally a door standing wide open in heaven. The same voice I heard before — sounding like a trumpet but somehow speaking directly to me — said, 'Come up here. I'm about to show you what's coming next.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes God opens doors to show you things you never could have imagined were coming.
