Divine Judgment

The Throne Room

A door opens in heaven and John sees the seat of judgment: a fiery jasper glow, a dark sardine core, and a rainbow tinted like an emerald circling the throne.

Key idea

The throne is a courtroom. The fire shows judgment, and the emerald rainbow shows the promise of the New Covenant.

The story in simple words

Revelation 4:1

An open door means John was given permission to look inside the highest court and write down what happens next.

King James words: “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

Revelation 4:3

Jasper glows red and gold like fire. Sardine is deep brown. The emerald rainbow is bright green, the colour of new life.

King James words: “And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”

Hebrews 12:29

The fire around the throne is God's own presence. It purifies; it does not need fuel.

King James words: “For our God is a consuming fire.”

Historical context

  • • Genesis 9:11-17 records the rainbow as a covenant sign after the flood, so a rainbow at the throne is a reminder of a promise.
  • • At Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:14-25) Israel heard thunder and saw a thick cloud, the same courtroom atmosphere John describes.

Scripture quiz

What does the emerald tint of the rainbow around the throne represent?

According to Revelation 8:3-4, what are the 'voices' at the throne?

Talk about it

  • • Why would a courtroom in heaven be surrounded by both fire and a rainbow at the same time?
  • • If prayers are stored at the golden altar, what does that change about praying when nothing seems to happen right away?
The Name and the Word

Every Word Of God

Proverbs 30:4 asks who gathered the wind, who bound the waters, and what His name is. The answer given in Revelation 19:13 is 'The Word of God'.

The New Covenant

Standing Blameless Before the Throne

Animal sacrifices could only cover sin for a time. Christ, as High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, offered one final sacrifice and washed the robes of the righteous.

Spiritual Identity of Israel

God: Who He Was, Is, and Will Always Be

From one vine, one city, one dove and one people, God chose a single lineage: Adam to Noah, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, whose name became Israel.
