THE THRONE OF GOD


Revelation 4:1: “After this" [The vision/things seen and heard in Revelation chapters 1, 2 and 3] "I" [John] "looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither," [To heaven] "and I will shew thee things” [Prophesies] “which must be hereafter.”


Revelation 4:2: “And immediately I" [John] "was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one” [The Most High] “sat on the throne.”


Revelation 4:3: “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”


Revelation 4:4: “And round about the" [Most High's] "throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they" [The 24 Elders] "had on their heads crowns of gold.”


Revelation 4:5: “And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”


Revelation 4:6: “And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.”


Revelation 4:7: “And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.”


Revelation 4:8: “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”

Revelation 5:2: “And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?”

Revelation 5:7: “And he" [The Lamb/Christ] "came and took the book out of the right hand of him" [The Most High] "that sat upon the throne.”


Revelation 5:8: “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.”


Revelation 5:9: “And they" [The four beasts and 24 elders] "sung a new song, saying, Thou" [Christ] "art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” See Galatians 3:16, 28-29 and Revelation 7:9-10, 13-15.


Revelation 5:10: “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
