THRONE. Heaven is the Throne of God, and the Earth is his Foot-stool. Jesus Christ sat down at the Right-hand of the Throne of God. The Ark of the Covenant was considered as the Throne of God: Justice and Judgment are the Establishment of the Throne of the Lord.
The Scripture mentions the Throne of 1 Kings x. 18, 19.Solomon as a very extraordinary Piece of Workmanship: It was all of Ivory, and overlaid with Gold: It had six Steps: The Top of the Throne was round behind; that is, the Back was like a Nich of a circular Figure. There were two Arms on each side that supported the Seat; whether these Arms were like those of a Great Chair, or served to support the Seat of the Throne. There were two Lions under these two Arms, and two other Lions at the end of every one of the six Steps.
