# Connecting Statement:

John continues to describe what he saw in his vision of the throne of God.

# Then I saw

"After I saw those things, I saw"

# the one who was seated on the throne

This is the same "one" as in [Revelation 4:2-3](../04/02.md).

# a scroll written on the front and on the back

"a scroll with writing on the front and the back"

# sealed with seven seals

"and it had seven seals keeping it closed"
