What does the image of a throne convey? Power, authority, sovereignty. This is a worship scene (notice the hymnody). Why does the narrative of Revelation begin with worship? 1) Worship is always our primal response to God. 2) Worship is “first-order” reflection. We should always talk to God before we talk about God.

While it’s easy to get lost in this scene, there is no question about what is at the center. Everything is mentioned in its relation to the THRONE.

Notice the OT imagery: rainbow & thunderstorms (theophany)/sea of glass. This scene is very reminiscent of the scene in Isaiah 6 as well. How might this scene be politically subversive? Caesar was the one who sat on the throne.

There are several similarities with imperial court. (Courts often travelled with emperors.) 1) Announced entry with great pomp and circumstance. 2) Laud and honor in the form of hymns, sacrifices, offerings of incense. 3) Often granted honorific titles.

4) Often presented with crowns from provincial rulers. 5) Number of lictors (court members) was often 24.

Worship is political in nature, because it centers on the one in control. All worldly powers are proximate to that Supreme, heavenly power.
