About Burning Throne

Burning Throne is a blog containing a collection of biblical commentary, devotional reflections and personal interests of Ed Taylor.

The name "Burning Throne" is taken from several apocalyptic visions of the throne of God recorded by the Hebrew prophets Daniel and Ezekiel, as well as John, penman of the last book of the New Testament:

As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat.  His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.

His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him.

Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:9-10 (NIV)

And then, as they stood with folded wings, there was a voice from above the dome over their heads. Above the dome there was something that looked like a throne, sky-blue like a sapphire, with a human-like figure towering above the throne.

From what I could see, from the waist up he looked like burnished bronze and from the waist down like a blazing fire. Brightness everywhere!

The way a rainbow springs out of the sky on a rainy day—that’s what it was like. It turned out to be the Glory of God! When I saw all this, I fell to my knees, my face to the ground.
Ezekiel 1:25-28 (MESSAGE)

And from the throne proceed flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Revelation 4:5-6 (NASB)
