The Throne Room
Both the prophet Isaiah (Is.6) and the Apostle John (Rev. 4) have beatific visions of God’s throne room. Isaiah describes the hem of God’s robe, and John just His glory. Angels, elders, and beings are all around proclaiming God’s glory.
Yet, in the regular world, Isaiah was facing an uncertain and unstable future. His message was one of God’s wrath. John and the churches he wrote to were facing persecution and theological confusion.
These visions were gifts of God, meant to encourage and give perspective. Even when everything seems uncertain – God remains in control.
