Revelation 4:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 4:2

The Throne Room of Heaven

1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing ^aopen in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a ^btrumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

2 Immediately ^aI was in the Spirit; and behold, ^ba throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

3 ¹And He who sat there was ^alike a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; ^band there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

4 ^aAround the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, ^bclothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

5 And from the throne proceeded ^alightnings, thunderings, and voices. ^bSeven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are ^cthe seven Spirits of God.

6 Before the throne there¹ was ^aa sea of glass, like crystal. ^bAnd in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.

7 ^aThe first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
