And John, when he comes into this vision that he has he says, “I saw a great white throne.” In the Greek text it comes out a little bit different. He said, “I saw a throne. I saw a throne.” And the order here in Greek is very, very important. It is giving supremacy and preeminence to the throne above all things. He says, “I saw a throne.”
One of the greatest need for believers today, for you and for me, is to see a throne. Isaiah had need of seeing a throne. When King Uzziah died he saw the Lord seated upon a throne. Ezekiel had need of seeing a throne. Jeremiah had need of seeing a throne. Ezekiel, especially, had need of seeing a throne. You have need of seeing a throne. Believer, you have need. That there is a God and he has redeemed you, but that God who has redeemed you is Lord over you and he sits upon a throne that is so immense, so great, everything else disappears in comparison. You need to see a throne when you are thinking about doing things your own way. But you also need to see a throne when you are doing things God’s way and everything comes against you. You need to see a throne.
But unbelievers also here today need to see a throne, not as a blessing, not as a support, but as a warning. You will one day stand before that throne and you will be judged before that throne in perfect righteousness.~Paul Washer,The Judgment of God and the Great White Throne
