! INTRO:
Rev 4:1 John tells us that a door is set opened in heaven
This is one of four doors opened in the book of Revelation
* Revelation 3:8 – The open door of opportunity for giving out the Word of God
* Revelation 3:20 – The open door of the heart to fellowship with Christ
* Revelation 4:1 – The open door to heaven
* Revelation 19:11 – The open door of the Second Coming
But the first destination that John mentions after the Rapture is heaven
!
THE PERSPECTIVE OF HEAVEN
[[Revelation 4:2 (NKJV) | Bible: Revelation 4:2]]
{{{"
/"Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne."/
}}}
*Immediately I was in the Spirit – speaking of a split second of time – one of the characteristics of the Rapture of the Church*
* 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 says in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
* It is believed that a twinkling of an eye is 1/1000 of a second
* That’s how quick the Rapture will be
* John is immediately in the Spirit
*Behold a throne set in heaven and one sitting on the throne*
* Notice the first thing John sees in God the Father seated on the throne in heaven
* How do we know this is God the Father
* Rev 4:5 – the Holy Spirit is distinguished
* Rev 5:6 – Jesus is seen standing beside the throne
* How interesting the perspective of heaven
* 38 times the throne of God is mentioned in the Book of Revelation
* 17 times in chapter 4 and 5
* While the world is enduring the Great Tribulation, God is seated on the throne
* This is the central focus for the believer… the rule and reign of God through out history
Billy Graham said…
{{{"
“God is unchanging in His love.
He loves you.
He has a plan for your life.
Don't let the newspaper headlines frighten you.
God is still sovereign; He's still on the throne.
}}}
*TRUTH: God has never been dethroned*
[[Psalm 11:4 (NKJV) | Bible: Psalm 11:4]]
{{{"
"/The LORD is in His holy temple/,
/The LORD’s throne is in heaven/;
/His eyes behold/,
/His eyelids test the sons of men/."
}}}
*At this moment in history, we are in the age of Grace and the Lord’s throne is now the throne of grace*
[[Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) | Bible: Hebrews 4:16]]
{{{"
"/Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need./
}}}
But the throne of grace will become a throne of judgment after the Rapture of the Church
*John continues to describe heaven*
[[Revelation 4:3–5 (NKJV) | Bible: Revelation 4:3-5]]
{{{"
"/And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.
