And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And. Omitted in 'Aleph (') A B, Vulgate, Syriac.
I was - `I became in the Spirit' (note, Revelation 1:10); rapt in vision into the heavenly world.
Was set - not was placed, but was situated х ekeito (G2749)].
One sat on the throne - the Eternal Father: the Creator (Revelation 4:11: cf. Revelation 5:8, with Revelation 1:4): the Father, 'which is, and was, and is to come.' When the Son, "the Lamb," is introduced (Revelation 5:5-9), a new song is sung which distinguishes the Sitter on the throne from the Lamb; and Rev. 4:13 , "Unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." So in Daniel 7:13, the Son of man brought before the Ancient of days is distinguished from Him. The Father in essence is invisible, but at times is represented assuming a visible form.
