+------ Patmos; John's Thoughts While Exiled

I told Tiberius to his face, our
souls are but pilgrims here; There
is no Rome Eternal, no Elysium,
no Empire semper invicta. That
Charon's to ferry nations from Styx
to Hades….abusive, draconian. And now
I cant sleep, an exile on an isle barely
habitable…the dirt brittle, incessant howls
of wolves for blasphemers even
moonless nights starless, circling my tent.
The glow of red eyes portals to
etheric dimensions without time: A King
mysterious poised on a Jasper Throne,
four creatures in joyful speech apoplectic
“holy, holy, holy!!!” A glorious preface
before flashes of angels’ seals, trumpets,
bowls. Of plagues, of war, of famine.

My last words to Caesar: "The end is
near I think...." Trembling.

------Revelation 4:1-8
After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first 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 there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”
