One sat on throne
To him that overcomes will the Lord grant to sit with him in his throne, even as he also overcame, and he has set down with his Father in his throne. He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches (Revelation 4:21-22). For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people (Isaiah 28:11).
As John the beloved was in the spirit, behold a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne sitting were twenty-four elders clothed in white raiment (Rev. 4:2-4).
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. 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 (Rev. 4:6-7).
And John saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals. A strong angel proclaims with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?” No one but the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, had prevailed to open the book and loose the seals.
And John beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne (Rev. 5:6-7).
And John beheld, and hears the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And he hears every creature in heaven, on earth and under the earth and the sea.
They were saying, “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever. And when the Lamb opened one seal the beasts say, Come and see!
All the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God at the sound of a loud voice saying, “Salvation to our God which sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb!” They were saying, “Blessing and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving be unto our God.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them (Rev. 5:12-14; 6:1; 7:11,10,12,15). The mighty angel cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roared; and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices (Rev. 10:1,3).
