In this message, Dr. Phillip Martin walks through Revelation 4 verse by verse and takes the throne room of God completely apart.

You'll hear:

• What the Jasper stone (clear as diamond) and the Sardius stone (blood red as a Ruby) reveal about who God is — his brilliance and his coming wrath

• Why those two stones were the first and last on the high priest's breastplate, representing Reuben ("behold the son") and Benjamin ("son of my right hand")

• What the rainbow around the throne means, why green is its dominant color, and why it is God's covenant promise visible from the moment you step into heaven

• Who the 24 elders are and why Dr. Martin believes they represent the Raptured Church already established in heaven before the Tribulation begins

• What the thunder, lightning, and seven torches of fire around the throne reveal about the Holy Spirit — the Great Comforter who will become the Great Consumer for those who rejected him

• Who the four living creatures are, how Ezekiel described the exact same beings in Ezekiel 1 and 10, and how they connect all the way back to the garden of Eden

• Why Satan himself was once a cherub around the throne of God — and why it matters that the same type of angel will now help pour out God's judgment on sin

• Why "Holy, holy, holy" is the only attribute of God spoken in threefold — and what the angels are really saying when the rest of the world can't reconcile God's wrath with his love

This is a deep-study teaching on Revelation 4, part of the ongoing Revelation series at The Grove Church.
