That’s when Micaiah saw the Lord on His throne, indicating only he had access to God. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably” (2nd Chron 18:12), Micaiah rebuked them, saying, “As the Lord lives, what my God says, that I will speak” (2nd Chron 18:13).
When they said, “Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. The one they suggested was not a popular choice because it was Micaiah always said what God told him and not what they wanted to hear. When King Ahab of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah allied with one another to go against Ramoth-gilead (2nd Chron 18:2-3), they sought the advice of their own prophets and wanting to appease the kings, they said that God is for them and they will have a swift victory, but Jehoshaphat was not convinced of these “prophets” of Israel (2nd Chron 18:5) and asked, “Is there not here another prophet of the Lord of whom we may inquire” (2nd Chron 18:6).
Second Chronicles 18:18 “And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.” What glorious views of the throne of God are Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4. They both had three seraphim, they both repeated “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty” (Rev 4:8). It’s as if John is seeing the same thing that Isaiah saw but only describes it with different words. This chapter and Isaiah 6 are very close in content. Revelation chapter 4 is about as close to Isaiah’s somewhat comprehensive description of the throne of God. They cast their crowns before the throne.” Revelation 4:9-10 “And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. The seven spirits are likely the seven churches mentioned elsewhere in the Book of Revelation. 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, and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal” (Rev 4:4-6a). In Revelation chapter 4 the Apostle John is describing and the One on the throne sounds very much like Jesus Christ as John wrote, “And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald” (Rev 4:3), and then John sees “Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. The word “throne” appears 38 times in the Book of Revelation and that’s far more than any other book in the Bible, but when we narrow our search down to the “throne of God,” no other book comes close in the number of mentions than does the Book of Revelation. Revelation 4:2 “At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.” There may be no greater chapter on describing the throne of God than Isaiah 6.
#Shepherds hasten to his throne full#
He was so overwhelmed, as we’d all be and so he said, “Woe is me! For I am lost for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts” (Isaiah 6:5) and over the throne of God the glorious seraphim said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isaiah 6:3). Isaiah was familiar with kings and so he knew what this meant. In Isaiah chapter 6, he receives a vision of the very throne of God and seeing that the train filled the temple, this means that since the length of trains on the kings was usually associated with power, the longer the train, the more power the king had and in this case, the Lord’s train was the longest of any as it filled the entire temple. Isaiah 6:1 “In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up and the train of his robe filled the temple.” Here are seven Bible verses about the throne of God.
