five men that saw the Throne of God number one Isaiah from the very beginning Isaiah was preaching some really unpleasant facts he was declaring that God will bring judgment upon the nation the prophet Isaiah was given one of the most difficult tasks of all the prophets but of course if he hadn't gone through with it we wouldn't have this amazing book he had no idea that in the years and centuries to come this book would serve as motivation however during his lifetime he was not successful in any way nobody paid attention and over the next
four decades things only became more difficult in the year that King Isaiah died I saw the Lord high and exalted Seated on a throne and the train of his robe filled the temple above him were sarim each with six wings with two Wings they covered their faces with two they covered their feet and with two they were flying and they were calling to one another holy holy holy is the Lord Almighty the whole earth is full of his glory at the sound of their voices the door posts and thresholds Shook and the temple was filled
with smoke Isaiah 6: 1-4 Isaiah had a vision of the King of Kings Isaiah was a prophet known for his righteousness he his encounter gave him a deeper understanding of God's magnificence and power as a result he was able to speak God's word with extraordinary boldness and Authority the throne had a lofty and Regal appearance to it the one who sat on the throne was elevated to a position of power and authority because God is so worthy of honor so so significant and so dignified the temple was filled to capacity by the train of His
Garment this is a really lengthy train Angels which are referred to as seraphim in this context are positioned all around the throne that God sits on these angels are referred to as cherubim or as the living beings this is the only passage in the Bible that refers to these beings by their proper name the seraphim Ezekiel 10:3 now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered and a cloud the shakina glory of God filled the inner Courtyard the seraphim were known to use four of their wings to show
their humility towards God and two of their wings to express their willingness to serve him this balance is considered proper even though Isaiah was in the presence of the seraphim surrounding God's Throne they could see things more clearly than he could we often fail to recognize the obvious glory of God that surrounds us Isaiah 6: 5-8 then I said woe is me for I am ruin because I am a man of ceremonially unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips for my eyes have seen the king the Lord of hosts then one
of the sarim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand which he had taken from the altar with tongs Isaiah experienced two things that made him feel like he was falling apart heart firstly it was the Sight and Sound of the seraphim secondly it was a vision of the Lord God when Isaiah saw the Lord he realized his true nature despite his being inferior to the seraphim it was nothing to how he compared to the Lord the vision of the Throne of God did not instantly make Isaiah feel good the more clearly he
saw the Lord the more he realized how lowly his state was Isaiah's profound sense of unworthiness is shared by other devout men in the presence of the Lord job Daniel Peter and John had comparable experiences Isaiah's life may have been as brilliant as a diamond but when you lay a diamond against a perfect black background and have the right light upon it you can see every flaw and imperfection flaws that were invisible before number two Ezekiel it is hard to put into words what Ezekiel Saw as he looked upon God's magnificent Throne as a messenger
of God he was used to Bringing messages visions and Revelation to his people he was a priest who was among the Jewish captives carried away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar in approximately 597 BC he often wrote in firstperson perspective and when he had a Clear Vision about God's Throne he put it all down on paper I looked and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the Vault that was over the heads of the cherubim the Lord said to the man clothed in linen go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim fill
your hands with burning coals from among the cheram and scatter them over the city and as I watched he went in now the cherubin were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in and a cloud filled the inner Court then the glory of the Lord Rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple the cloud filled the temple and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord the sound of the wings of the cheram could be heard as far away as the
outer Court like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks when the Lord commanded the man in linen take fire from among the wheels from among the cheram the man went in and Stood Beside a wheel then one of the cheram reached out his hand to the fire that was among them he took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen who took it and went out under the wings of the cheram could be seen what looked like human hands I looked and I saw beside the cheran for
four wheels one beside each of the cherin the wheels sparkled like top pads as for their appearance the four of them looked alike each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel as they moved they would go in any one of the four directions the cheram faced the wheels did not turn about as the cheram went the cheram went in whatever Direction the head faced without turning as they went their entire bodies including their backs their hands and their wings were completely full of eyes as were their four wheels I heard the wheels being called the
whirling Wheels each of the cheram had four faces one face was that of a cherub the second the face of a human being the Third third the face of a lion and the fourth the face of an eagle then the cheram rose upward these were the living creatures I had seen by the kear river when the cheran moved the wheels beside them moved and when the cheram spread their wings to rise from the ground the wheels did not leave their side when the cheram Stood Still They also stood still and when the cheram rose they
rose with them because the spirit of the living creatures was in them then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cheram while I watched the cheram spread their wings and Rose from the ground and as they went the wheels went with them they stopped at the entrance of the East Gate G of the Lord's House and the glory of the god of Israel was above them Ezekiel 10: 1-19 from the angels that worshiped the king in unison to the tangible glory of God that he saw
and felt it is obvious that what Ezekiel Saw was not normal or natural standing before the Majesty of God is a very humbling experience whether we do so in our daily worship moments or in a vision like ezekiel's although Ezekiel does denounce a number of cities and Nations as well as Israel for their sins this encounter helped him to play the role of comforter and consoler number three Daniel Daniel lived in captivity in Babylon along with his friends Shadrach meach and Abednego though they faced pressures to conform to Babylonian society and give up the ways
of their people they stood strong in their faith and God blessed Daniel with wisdom and the ability to interpret dreams Daniel served three different administrations in Babylon but he was unchanging in his integrity and trust in God The Secret of his steadfastness was his Insight Revelations and Visions about God's will for him or his people the more he knew about God the more he declared the truth to Kings without fear or favor one of such Revelations that came to Daniel was the awesome view of the Creator's Throne as I looked Thrones were set in place
and the Ancient of Days took his seat his clothing was as white as snow the hair of his head was white like wool his throne was flaming with fire and its Wheels were all a blaze a river of fire was flowing coming out from before him thousands upon thousands attended him 10,000 times 10,000 stood before him the court was seated and the books were open then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking I kept looking until the Beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire
the other beasts had been stripped of their Authority but were allowed to live for a period of time in my vision at night I looked and there before me was one like a son of man coming with the Clouds Of Heaven he approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence he was given Authority glory and Sovereign power All Nations and peoples of every language worshiped him his Dominion is an everlasting Dominion that will not pass away and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed Daniel 7: 9-14 Daniel's words help us
to understand God's Dominion Authority and power so that we can approach him with reverence this picture also describes how God is the God of All Flesh and the fathers of everyone regardless of our language or Nation number 4 Steven Steven is first mentioned in the book of Acts of the Apostles at that time he was serving as one of seven deacons in the early church which had been chosen by the apostles to provide members of the community who were less fortunate with food and other forms of Charity assistance in addition to this he was the
first Christian martyr he was executed by stoning for proclaiming that Jesus was the Christ at the point where he was stoned he also had a vision about Heaven's Throne you stiff necked people your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised you are just like your ancestors you always resist the Holy Spirit was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute they even even killed those who predicted the coming of the righteous one and now you have betrayed and murdered him you who have received the law that was given through Angels but have not obeyed it
when the members of the Sanhedrin heard this they were Furious and nashed their teeth at him but Steven full of the Holy Spirit looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God look he said I see Heaven open and the son of man standing at the right hand of God at this they covered their ears and yelling at the top of their voices they all rushed at him dragged him out of the city and began to Stone him meanwhile the witnesses laid their coats at the
feet of a young man named Saul while they were stoning him Steven prayed Lord Jesus receive my spirit then he fell on his knees and cried out Lord do not hold this sin against them when he had said this he fell asleep acts 7: 51-60 it is amazing that even though Steven was being terribly persecuted one of the last things he saw before his death was the Glorious Throne of his father and he was actually eager to go there despite his pain this should bring Comfort to all believers because God's court is a home for
all those that believe in Jesus number five John the revelation of Jesus Christ Christ was given to John so that he would show his servants what must soon come to pass as the end days draws closer God made it known by sending his Angel to John on the island of Patmos as he received the vision about God's end time plan he was also taken into the throne room of God to see marvelous things in the heavens after this I looked and there before me was a door standing open in heaven and the voice I had
first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said come up here and I will show you what must take place after this at once I was in the spirit and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it and the one who sat there had the appearance of of Jasper and Ruby a rainbow that Shone like an emerald encircled the throne surrounding the throne were 24 other Thrones and seated on them were 24 Elders they were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads from the throne came flashes
of lightning Rumblings and peels of thunder in front of the throne seven lamps were blazing these are the seven spirits of God also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass clear as crystal in the center around the throne were four living creatures and they were covered with eyes in front and in back the first living creature was like a lion the second second was like an ox the third had a face like a man the fourth was like a flying eagle each of the four living creatures had six
wings and was covered with eyes all around even under its wings day and night they never stopped saying holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come whenever the living creatures give glory honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever the 24 Elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever they lay their crowns Before the Throne and say you are worthy our Lord and God to receive glory and honor and and
power for you created all things and by your will they were created and have their being Revelation 4: 1-1 if not for the Revelation that people like John Steven Daniel Ezekiel and Isaiah had about The Throne Room of God we would not have a complete picture of God's Majestic courtroom thankfully even if we never have a supernatural Divine Vision about God's throne room he still invites us to come before him by faith in Hebrews 4:1 16 let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find Grace to
help us in our time of need the Bible tells us that it is a good thing to approach unto God and this is true for many of us who worship Him in truth blessed is the man whom thou choosest and causest to approach unto thee that he may dwell in thy courts we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house even of thy Holy Temple Psalm chapter 65:4 however several people had unforg able Supernatural experiences and visions that actually brought them face to face to God's throne room no matter the time and history that
they belong to their descriptive words are full of clear images or insights that are constant and consistent from Century to Century getting a glimpse of what God's Throne actually looks like left them with so much shock and holy reverence the they returned to tell the story with varying emotions ranging from Fear to shock when a person leaves the place of a Divine encounter with a confidence of forgiveness especially after he just saw how filthy his self-righteousness was before God he is forever changed let us pray father we appreciate your goodness and Grace that draws us
into a deeper knowledge of your personality thank you for the lessons on your power Majesty Authority and Dominion that is present in the stories of these great men from scriptures Lord help me to always value the Priceless gift of your throne room whether I see it supernaturally or not as your beloved child I will not be be far from your holy and beautiful presence in jesus' name I pray amen a beacon of redemption and a declaration of Victory in Jesus Christ dive into its pages and may you find peace in the enduring promises
