Revelation 4:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In the Spirit; in an ecstasy, as Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:2, and Peter, Acts 10:10, and Ezekiel, Ezekiel 3:12, and himself was both before and after this, Revelation 1:10, Revelation 17:3 21:10. A throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne: God is constantly described, in the prophetical visions, as sitting upon a throne, to denote his power and dominion, that he is the King of kings, and Lord of lords. See Daniel 7:9, &c.

Revelation 4:2

2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
