I was in the spirit ; And I saw heaven opened ; And I saw an angel standing in the sun ; Babylon the great is fallen ; Rejoice over her, O heavens ; And I saw a new heaven ; Therefore are they before the throne of God ; And I saw a pure river ; Holy, holy, holy ; Heaven and earth are full of thy glory (34:11). |
