What Does God's Throne Look Like? (Revelation 4:3 Explained)

Most of us open Revelation looking for the end times. But what if one of its most powerful verses is simply a picture of what God looks like on His throne? In this teaching, Pastor Wayne Kinde slows down on a single verse, Revelation 4:3, where John sees the One on the throne shining like jasper and sardius, with a rainbow like an emerald all around. Then he connects those three stones to the high priest's breastplate in Exodus 28: sardius for Reuben, the firstborn; jasper for Benjamin, the last; and emerald for Judah, the tribe of Jesus. The first and the last, and the Lion of Judah who gave His life for us and will one day make all things new. And because Christ is our High Priest, we are His royal priests, carrying His glory into a world that desperately needs Him. 📖 Chapters 00:00 - Revelation Is More Than End Times 00:17 - Not Written in Chronological Order 01:09 - One Verse: Revelation 4:3 01:52 - "Like a Jasper and a Sardius Stone" 02:09 - Reading Revelation as Metaphor and Picture 02:45 - The Colors of Jasper 03:20 - The Fiery Red Sardius 03:41 - A Rainbow Like an Emerald 05:45 - What the Stones Represent: Glory and Judgment 06:54 - Exodus 28: The High Priest's Breastplate 08:08 - The Priest as Mediator 09:03 - Jasper and Benjamin, the Last Tribe 09:16 - Sardius and Reuben, the Firstborn 10:12 - The Alpha and the Omega 10:43 - The Emerald and the Tribe of Judah 11:08 - The First, the Last, and the Lion of Judah 11:49 - The Father and the Son Are One 13:14 - We Are Royal Priests (1 Peter 2:9) 14:21 - One Verse Speaks Volumes ───────── 🙏 If this glimpse of God's throne room left you in awe of His glory, your gift helps us carry that same glory to someone who has never seen it in Scripture before.
