Apocalypse: First Resurrection -- John, nimbed, raising both hands, kneels on one knee behind rocky outcrop. He looks toward mandorla enclosing God, wearing triple-crowned tiara, extending right hand, holding globe with left hand, sitting on throne with footrest. He is flanked by twelve men, nimbed, seven with joined hands, three gesturing, seated on two benches. Five nude figures, including one woman, kneel before God, two with joined hands raised, two raising hands. Illustration of Revelation 20:4
