Dayon nakita ko ang mga trono, kag ang mga nagapungko sa sini. Ginhatagan sila sing awtoridad sa paghukom. Nakita ko man ang mga kalag sadtong mga ginpamugotan sing ulo tungod sang ila pagwali sang kamatuoran nga ginpahayag ni Jesus kag sang pulong sang Dios. Wala sila magsimba sa sapat ukon sa imahen sini, ukon magbaton sang marka sang sapat sa ila mga agtang ukon mga kamot. Nabuhi sila kag naggahom subong mga hari upod kay Cristo sa sulod sang 1,000 ka tuig.
