Revelation 4:2
Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
As soon as Christ has said unto John, come up hither, he was immediately in the spirit; that is, without any delay, instantly,
“ I was in the spirit”
or in a spiritual rapture and ecstasy. (See the exposition, Revelation 1:10).
See KNOLLYS: Revelation 1:10
“ And behold, a throne was set in heaven.”
This metaphorical word is borrowed from the great monarchs and kings of the earth, who have their thrones set for judgement, \ The throne of his father David, which God promised to give Jesus Christ, \ or else mystically it is the Church of God, which is called glorious throne, \ A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary; and \ Jerusalem, the throne of JEHOVAH.
“ And one sat on the throne”
namely, King Jesus, \ I AM JEHOVAH, your holy ONE, the creator of Israel your King, The King of Saints, \ The King of Sion, \ The King of Nations, \ The only Potentate, \ the King of Kings. \
