Wednesday Evening Live Stream - Book of Revelation
Chapter 4:1-11 - The Throne Room
One picture that is repeated throughout this chapter is the throne of God. Twelve times
we are told about the throne, and this does not count the 24 thrones which are also
mentioned. Twelve times we read about the throne and one sitting on that throne. The
throne of God is the focus. In verse 2 we see that the throne is established in the midst
of heaven and one is seated on the throne. This is a statement of respect, not naming
who is on the throne, because it is the Almighty God who sits on the throne.
Revelation Chapter 5 - Revelation 4 revealed the scene in the throne room of heaven. God is sitting on the
throne in splendor and glory. The focus shifts from the throne and the one who sits on
the throne in chapter 4 to the scroll in the right hand of the one who sits on the throne in
chapter 5.
