Summary: God gave me a vision of Him on His throne.
God Is Still on the Throne
1. The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord is clothed, He has girded
Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.
2. Your Throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
The great price at Calvary has been paid, and the Holy Spirit can now abide in the hearts of believing born again men.
We have discussed what it really means to be a believer; a believer is obedient to what Jesus says to do.
We need to understand this morning that the Lord reigns!
Not only did He reign in the days of Adam and Eve, but He also reigned in the time of Noah.
Not only did He reign in the days of the Prophets and Apostles, He also reigns in the day that we live in.
God is still on the Throne!
He is clothed with Majesty and strength.
When we think Majesty, we might be in awe, at least I am.
When we think strength, we think powerful, God is Omnipotent, all powerful.
Psalm 93:2 says Your Throne is established of old: you are from everlasting.
When we think God’s Throne, we ought to think everlasting.
Gods Throne is established of old.
Gods Throne was established of old by such people such as:
Isaiah in Isaiah 6:1-6
1. In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Ezekiel in Ezekiel 1:26-28
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
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 the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
Daniel in Daniel 7:9-10
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
John in Revelation 4:2-3
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
From generation to generation, God’s Throne is still God’s Throne.
What this is saying is God cannot be moved.
There is no power in this world or this universe that can move God.
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift
up their waves.
4. The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of
the sea.
The floods: Baal, false god was supposed to be victorious over the waters.
This section of this Psalm is a continuing refutation, (repeat offense).
The Lord is mightier than the sound of water.
