From the throne The phrase "from the throne" signifies the centrality and sovereignty of God in the heavenly vision. The throne is a symbol of divine authority and power, representing God's rule over all creation. In the Greek, "thronos" is used, which is a seat of power and judgment. This imagery is consistent with the Old Testament depictions of God's throne, such as in Isaiah 6:1 and Ezekiel 1:26, where God's majesty and holiness are emphasized. The throne is not just a seat but a place from which divine decrees and judgments are issued, underscoring God's ultimate control over the universe. came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder Before the throne burned seven lamps of fire These are the seven Spirits of God "Which makes the darkness and the light, And dwells not in the light alone, But in the darkness and the cloud As over Sinai's peaks of old." And there were seven lamps (or, torches) of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.--See Revelation 3:1.

If this be correct, the vision of this chapter reminds us that God is ever mindful of His covenant. The rainbow, the token of the covenant with Noah; the flaming torches, tokens of the covenant with Abraham; and the thunderings and lightnings, the tokens of the covenant at Sinai, are ever with Him. (Comp, also Ezekiel 1:4.) . . . Verse 5. - And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thundering and voices. The present tense (see on ver. 4).
