This podcast explains the symbols used by John to describe the throne of God in heaven that John saw in Revelation 4:5, including the lightnings, thunderings, and voices that John saw and heard. His verse also includes the images of seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. These seven spirits are the same seven spirits from Revelation 1:4, which represent the seven leaders from the seven churches of Asia following their mortal deaths.
