Throne
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
or An established emblem of kingly dignity and power, used by sovereigns on all stale occasions. That of Solomon was of ivory, overlaid with gold; having six broad steps, every one guarded by a golden lion at each end, 1 Kings 10:18-20 . Heaven is called God's throne, and the earth his footstool, Isaiah 66:1 . His throne is also sublimely described as everlasting, and as built upon justice and equity, Psalm 45:6; 97:2 . See also Isaiah 6:2-4; Ezekiel 1:1 - 28 . Christ is on the throne forever, as the King of heaven, Psalm 110:1; Hebrews 1:8; Revelation 3:21; and his faithful disciples will partake of his kingly glory, Luke 22:30; Revelation 4:4; 5:10 . He forbade men lightly to swear by heaven or its throne, as they were thus irreverent to God, Matthew 5:34; 23:22 .
