Revelation report: Through the Door in Heaven

John said a door was opened in heaven, and a voice told him to come up and see. What followed was unlike anything else he wrote. A throne. One seated on it. A rainbow around it. Twenty-four elders in white. Four living creatures covered in eyes. Seven lamps of fire burning. A sea of glass stretched out before the throne like crystal. This week's Report gathers three articles on that scene. What the Seven Spirits of God are, and why they appear at the throne. What the sea of glass is, and why it reappears later in the book. What the whole throne room vision is doing at this point in Revelation. Read them together. The scene is one scene, and John meant it to be seen whole.
