When John in Revelation 4:1 says: “After these things....” (in Greek meta tauta) it is to convey that what he is about to describe, follows on the previous scenario of the Church on earth.
Pale Mtume Yohana anaposema katika Ufunuo 4:1 hivi: "Baada ya hayo...." hii ina maana yale ambayo anataka kugusia yanafuatana na yale ambayo yametangulia kuhusu kanisa duniani.
