3 True throne

1. Heavenly throne

①   God creates and preserves the creation.

Neh.9:6 You are Yahweh, even you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all; and the host of heaven worships you.

†   Not only did He create it, but He still preserves it.[1]

②   The great Creator cannot enter into the small world of creation.

†   God cannot enter into the creation world. Creations cannot even see the Father and the Son.[2] However, God decided to enter into the creation world and made it exist, and in order to enter the creation world, God the Son emptied what God was as God and became a human being among the creatures.[3] (God, who creates and maintains space-time, is not limited in space-time, but because creatures cannot know what it means, we just think in the way of creatures.) It was the humility to fulfill the Father's will that the Son became a human, The Son did not even come as an angel. He came as a human, but he was resurrected by taking the cross, becoming like angels[4], and ascending to the heavenly throne.[5] Whether the resurrected body is like an angel or not, the Son, who is the source of light[6], comes to Hades, the darkness, ascends to the heaven of angels and rules over the creation world.[7]

2Chr.2:6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?

†   Creation is too small before the Creator to accept the Creator.[8] The heaven and heaven of heavens here mean the whole creation. The creation system consists of three heavens. The universe, which is said to be large by humans, is only a part of Hades in the creation world. God created the universe in Hades, which confined Satan fraudswarms.[9] (We might think that Hades created as the universe. There may be a view that the universe is not viewed as Hades, but as a part of the heaven of angels.) The Creator cannot be confined to the creation world, but there is no way that creation can see the Creator. Even if we see the Creator, it will be in a limited way in which the Creator revealed Himself to His creatures. It is also the Creator who created creatures so that the creatures can recognize the Creator. In order for the Creator, who is greater than the creation world, to enter into the creation world, He must empty out what He is as the Creator and become a creature.[10]

1Tim.6:15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

1Tim.6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

†   Here the word translated as God refers to God the Son I think. God the Son is the one who cannot be seen by any creature, unless He express himself to creatures. It cannot be concluded from these words alone whether the word that no one can see God the Son means before the Son comes to Hades or when the Son ascends to the heaven of angels and sits on the heavenly throne. If no one can see God the Son now, who are sitting on the heavenly throne, the angels will not be included among those who cannot see the Son. This is because the angels are now seeing God the Son, who is seated on the heavenly throne.[11]

†   Here, there may be a view of seeing God who will bring about Himself in His own time as God the Father. If so, we can just receive this word as it describes God the Father, who is not limited by the space-time of the creation, but hides himself. However, the expression 'The King of kings and Lord of lords' is usually used only for God the Son[12], who became a creature. If the word God refers to God the Father, it will be a unique case of using the expression 'The King of kings and Lord of lords' to express God the Father.

†   From this saying that no one can see God the Son, I cannot affirm that even angels could not have seen God the Son, but in comparison with other verses[13], I believe that even the angels could not have seen God the Son until the Son came to Hades. God the Son is the Creator who created the creation.[14] May the Creator be confined in His creation?[15]

John6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

†   Only the Son has seen the Father.

John1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

†   Only the Son has seen the Father, and only through the Son can creatures see the Father.[16] Even before God created the creation world, God the Son is at the Father's side. Before the Son came into Hades, angels would not have been able to see God the Son who is in the bosom of the Father.[17]

†   Of course, I believe that the Son is always in the bosom of the Father. Even when the Son comes to Hades, the Son is in the bosom of the Father. (See the tense is the present.) However, even on the cross where the Father forsook the Son and the Son was cut off from the Father[18], I don't know if the Son was in the bosom of the Father.[19] We creatures, confined in the limits of space-time, know only as much as the Creator, who transcends space-time, has made us known.

1John4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

†   No creature has ever seen the Son who is as God in the bosom of the Father. As no one has ever seen the Father at any time, so no creature has ever seen the Son before the Son came to Hades.

1John1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

James1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

†   A creature who has hidden darkness cannot see God who is the light.

Matt.18:10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

†   The Father is not in the heaven of angels.[20] The free will of angels has not yet been completed. If the free will of angels had already been completed, there would have been no need to imprison Satan in Hades, and He would not have revealed the reality of sin and Satan through Adam. A being who has the potential of breaking the law cannot see God directly. In order for a creature to see the Creator, perhaps, the judgment of sin must be confirmed and free will must be completed so that the creature has nothing to do with sin again. This does not, however, presume that a creature whose free will is completed and has no relation to sin will be able to see the Creator. I don't know how will it be done. I'm just guessing that there would be more possibility of seeing the Creator to a creature whose free will has been completed and thus will not sin again, rather than a creature whose free will remains incomplete.

†   What is certain is that if the possibility to sin still remains in it, the creature who can sin at any time cannot see the Creator.[21] We cannot conclude that the free will of the creatures has been completed because the great white throne judgment has not yet been fulfilled and death and Hades have not been thrown into the lake of fire. Therefore, I believe that no creature who is connected with death can see God. Again, it is not to say that after the judgment of the lake of fire, the completed creatures can see the Creator. I don't know what would be after that. I can't find it in the Bible. If there is a similar verse, is it like that the Father may be all in all?[22] Since the Son also obeys the Father and says that the Father may be all of all, it is only speculated that the creatures that have reached eternal life will come to know the Father in the Father who is all.

†   Therefore, that angels always see the face of the Heavenly Father means[23] that they see the Son, the One who sits on the throne where the Father's name is placed and takes the name seated on the throne. When we think of seeing the Face as seeing the Name, the face of the Father that the angels saw might means the Angel of Yahweh, the messenger of Yahweh, who performed the Father's command in the name of the Father until the Son sat on the throne, and thus appeared to humans as God.[24] But after the Son comes in His Father's name[25], the Son Himself does the Father's will in His Father's name[26], and the Father's name is no longer entrusted to an angel. Therefore, the word "Yahweh's messenger", an angel who appeared as God to carry out the Father's command in the Father's name[27], does not appear. (It appears in the word 'angel of the Lord'.[28] 'Lord' is the 'LORD Jesus Christ'.[29]) Before the Son came, an angel appeared to Adam in the capacity of God taking the name of the Father[30], but after God the Son, who is the true God, came, God the Son Himself took the name of His Father and revealed Himself to Adam.

†   Therefore, after the Son's arrival, it may mean that angels see the face of the Father, to see the Son who inherits the Father's name. Then, since God the Holy Spirit has come in the name of the Son[31], are the angels who see God the Holy Spirit seeing the face of the Father in heaven, the face of the Son?[32] I do not know. I have to ask God. However, now that the Son ascends to the heaven of angels and sits at the right hand of the Father's throne[33], it is not believed that the angels do not see the Son directly and can only see the Son through God the Holy Spirit.

†   Although we don't know how it will be, but we may think that angels can actually see God. Whether or not an angel can actually see God, it is not that important. Whether an angel sees God in person or not, God already knows everything and rules His creation justly. Therefore, we must not look down on any of little ones. When the time comes, God will judge all unrighteous things to bring rest and complete the creation of the creation world.

 

③   God has put His name on the throne.

†   Creatures can accept the orders of the Creator and come to the Creator through the name placed on the throne. The intermediate link between God the Creator and creation is the throne named by God. Through the throne, creatures can worship God, and through the name God has placed, creatures can receive God's grace.[34]

Ezra6:12 and the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to altar [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.

†   God put His name on the throne in the temple. The fact that God put his name on the temple of the earth shows that He put his name on the throne of the heavenly temple. The temple on earth is a model of the temple in heaven.[35]

2Chr.7:15 Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.

2Chr.7:16 For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

†   The throne was placed in the highest place of the sanctuary, the place appointed[36] by the right hand of God[37] in the heavenly temple above.[38] He put the Father's name[39], that is above every name, on the throne. He rules over the creation by giving orders to the creatures through the name on the throne.[40]

Ps.11:4 Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

†   God's throne is in the true temple, the heavenly temple.

Ps.103:19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

†   God rules over all things on the throne where He has placed His name.

Ps.103:20 Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, Who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, Obeying the voice of his word.

Ps.103:21 Praise Yahweh, all you hosts of his, You servants of his, who do his pleasure.

†   Angels carry out the commands spoken through the name placed on the heavenly throne.

Is.6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.

†   God sits on the throne, which is lifted up high in the heaven of angels, the true temple. Of course, before God the Son entered into the creation world, the being who appeared as God sitting on the throne would have been an angel, the Angel of Yahweh. But the angel is God to us at that time, because he must have appeared in God's behalf in the name of God.[41]

Is.14:13 You said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit on the mountain of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;

Is.14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.

†   The throne is on the highest cloud, on the stars of God, on the mountain of the north. This may be the most holy place of the heaven of angels. I cannot affirm whether there is anything that acts like the curtain, whether the clouds act as the curtain, or what these clouds are, but because the Creator put His name on the throne, the throne may be an area of glory worthy of the name of God for creatures.

Is.66:1 Thus says Yahweh, heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest?

†   The heavenly temple is the throne of God, and the model temple of the earth is the foostool of God. The temple of the earth will make enemies as God's footstool.[42]

Jer.17:12 A glorious throne, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

†   There is God's throne in the heavenly sanctuary. To be precise, the place where the throne is located is the sanctuary. More precisely, the place where the Creator present is the sanctuary.[43] Since the Creator sits on the throne and rules over the creation world, the place where the throne is, is the sanctuary. But the throne moves.

Ezek.1:25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

Ezek.1:26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

Ezek.1:27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

Ezek.1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

†   There is a throne in the expanse above the heads of cherubim. The throne moves. The place where the throne stops becomes the temple.

Ezek.10:1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

†   The throne is suppported by cherubim.

1Pet.3:22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

†   All creation submits to the Son who sat down on the throne and inherited the Name.[44]

Rev.4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne

Rev.4:3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.

†   Before the Son came to the creation world in the Father's name, inherited it, and sat on the throne, angels bearing the Father's name appeared as God.[45] Since God was not in the creation world until the Son came, so the creatures would have worshiped God through worshiping the Name entrusted to the angel who appeared as God.

Deut.5:11 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

†   God has made all angels glorify, love and worship that Name.

 

④   The Son determined to inherit the throne.

Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

†   The Son created the creation for the Son.

Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Heb.1:4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

†   The Son inherited the name of the Father who ruled the creation world.

Ps.2:6 "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."

Ps.2:7 I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Ps.2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Ps.2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

†   The Son determined to inherit the creation world and to destroy all creatures against the Creator Son and after that the Son made the creation world. The Son rules by the commandments. The commandment is love.[46] Creations that rebel against the Son's rule of love will be destroyed.

Eph.1:10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

†   Through the process of the Son inheriting the creation world, He determined to complete the creation by unifying the creation within the Son. Only creatures who obey the Son who rule by the commandment of love will live forever, and all creatures who do not obey the Son will be thrown into the lake of fire.[47]

Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.

Col.1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

†   The creation world exists for the Son, and the Son preserves the creation world.

Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

†   In order to bring peace between the Father and the creation through the Son, the Son determined to inherit the creation world that is in Father's name and to place the creation world under the Son. By the love the Son shows on the cross, creatures come to love God.[48] Only those who love God obey God's commandments, the rule of love.[49] Thus, the blood of the Son purifies the creation world from sin. The creatures freed from sin by the blood of the Son are reconciled to the Father. Therefore, the cross is God's love to give eternal life to creation.[50]

1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

†   After the Son inherits the Father's name and judges all the iniquity of the creation world and completes the creation under the reign of the Son's love and justice, the Son will obey the Father and will present the creation world to the Father.[51] The creation He put in the Son will be in the Father through the Son who is in the Father.

Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'

Luke20:14 "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

†   Even though the Son was the Heir to inherit the creation world, Satan fraudswarms rejected and killed the Son who came to inherit the creation world.
