Revelation 20:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

God now giveth his prophet a vision of the last day, the day of judgment. He seeth a throne, a place of judicature; said to be great, to denote its gloriousness; white, to signify Christ's purity and holiness in his judging the world. And he saw Christ sitting upon it, and all old things passing away. Peter thus describes this flying away of the earth and heavens; The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works therein shall be burned up, 2 Peter 3:10. All these things shall be dissolved, 2 Peter 3:11.

Revelation 20:11

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
