And upon the likeness of the throne— After having particularly described the chariot and throne of the Almighty, the prophet proceeds to speak of him who sat upon the throne, who was undoubtedly no other than the Son of God, as he was represented in the holy of holies, prefiguring his gracious incarnation. The rainbow, a grand symbol of the covenant of grace, both here and in Revelation 4:3 is described as about the throne. And it plainly appears from the subsequent Chapter s, that this divine Person, who became man for our salvation, was the Lord God, the sovereign, the Jehovah of the Jews. See the next chapter, Ezekiel 1:3-4.
