Alpha & Omega — Session 11 — Before the Throne of God Above

From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, 6and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.
[Revelation 4:5-6]

When the LORD gave the instructions to build the earthly tabernacle and temple, He patterned them both from the heavenly temple in the New Jerusalem. God’s heavenly throne is the most holy place in all the universe — the place where God resides in all His concentrated glory and power.

John — like so many of the prophets before him — was taken in the Spirit to stand before the throne of God, and this supernatural vision of God would become the foundation of his prophecy that is known as the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
