In the days of King Ahab the Prophet Micah saw the Lord sitting upon His Throne. Micah was not a “church prophet”, he was a true prophet of God, stating, “ “Therefore hear the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.” (2. Chr. 18:18). The prophet saw only one sitting upon the throne, surrounded by angels.

Isaiah would be another true witness who recorded his wonderful experience, “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. … Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isa. 6:1-3+8).

Once again we shall call the Prophet Isaiah to testify. In all of God’s revelations the “I am” is implied. “I am the Eternal, the in Himself existing One, the same yesterday, today, and for ever.” “… the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth …” (Isa. 40:28b). “… that I am he: before me there was no god formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour … I am God.” (43:10-12). “I am the First, and I am the Last; and beside me there is no God.” (44:6). “I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me” (Isa. 45:5). “I am he; I am the First, I also am the Last.” (Isa. 48:12 a. o.). From all Scripture and true witnesses it is clear, absolutely clear that the ONE besides Whom there is no other does speak and reveal Himself.

The Prophet Ezekiel, whose name means “God is might”, also records his supernatural experience, “And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it … This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.” (Ezek. 1:26-28).

Yes, the Lord God appeared in a shape of a man, just as he walked in the Garden of Eden. The bow of the covenant was above the one sitting on the throne. He is the God of the covenant, He has made a covenant with Israel as the Angel of the covenant (Acts 7:33-38). In Rev. 10 the Lord comes down with the rainbow around Him, setting as the rightful owner one foot on land and one on sea. He also made a covenant with the New Testament Church (Mt. 26:26-29 a. o.) with His covenant name Jahshua/Jesus as Saviour. In the Old Testament the prophets predicted salvation and the coming of the Redeemer, in the New Testament the whole prophecy is living reality.

Not a single time were there several divine persons seen on the throne. It was always just the one eternal God Who revealed Himself in the visible, bodily form as “Lord”. Also the Prophet Daniel did not see two divine persons on the throne (7:9-14). He watched as the chairs were set for judgement until the Judge in bodily form as the Ancient of days took His seat. In connection with that judgement he saw the Son of man come with the clouds of heaven, appearing before the Ancient of days. In the New Testament we can read several times about the coming of the Son of man, “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.” (Mt. 25:31). As High Priest and advocate He remains at the right hand of God until all enemies are made His footstool (Heb. 2:5-9). About this we can read in a number of places. The Word of promise declares it, “Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” (Ps. 110:1; Eph. 1:17-23; Heb. 2:5-9 a. o.).

May we also call Stephen as a witness, “But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.” (Acts 7:55-56). From His coming in the flesh until the completion we see our beloved Redeemer beside God in the many ways, representing us. In the Son all shadows and types of the Old Testament had become reality. As “Son of God” He is Redeemer, as “Son of man” He is Prophet. As “Son of David” He is King. As “Son of Abraham” he is the heir of the world — through Him we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

He is the “Lamb of God” that took away the sins of the world on the cross. He is the “Mediator” of the New Covenant (Heb. 8:6). He is the “High Priest” Who went into the heavenly Sanctuary with His Own Blood, placing it on the Mercy Seat (Heb. 9:11-12). He is the “Advocate” before the Father (1. Jn. 2:1). He became everything for all of us, that we through Him might become what He is. Only the belief in Jesus Christ is true belief in God. For God was personally in Christ, reconciling the world with Himself (2. Cor. 5).

The Holy Scripture is written in the perfect order of the plan of salvation. Every place therein must be left where it is and how it is. When we read “Son of God”, then it is supposed to be there, and we must not, under any circumstances, replace it with “Son of man” or “Son of David”. When we read “Son of man”, under no circumstances can it be replaced with “Son of God”. The same applies to all other designations. If we read “Mediator”, that is what it should be. If we read “Advocate”, that is precisely what is meant. Everything, absolutely every designation must be left in the context it was written in. Men who did not have divine understanding have turned the most wonderful order of the plan of salvation as found in the Holy Scripture into a hopeless disarray. They undermined the validity of the Word of God by their own interpretations.

May we furthermore go to the Apostle John, who was privileged to receive the revelation of Jesus Christ on the isle of Patmos. He heard the voice of the Almighty as the sound of a trumpet and was placed in the Spirit into the “Day of the Lord”. What he saw he was to write down, which he did faithfully, thanks be to God. After having introduced Jesus Christ as the true and faithful witness, as the Firstborn from among the dead, Who redeemed us from our sins by His Blood and made us kings and priests unto God His Father, Who also is our father (Jn. 20:17; Heb. 2:10-18 a. o.), he points to Him that would come with the clouds, “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.” (Rev. 1:7). In the following verse the One Who would come introduces Himself. In this event it is not the coming as Son of man, but of the Almighty, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (v. 8).

In chapter 4 John saw a door open in heaven and again he heard the Voice of the Almighty like the sound of a trumpet calling him, “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.” (vv. 1-2). He saw, as Isaiah had, the One sitting on the throne and heard the same as the prophet in the Old Testament, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” (v. 8).

What man would dare, in spite of all the clear and true statements in the Holy Scripture about God, to remain in the misconception of a “three-person-God”? Whosoever still prefers to seek recognition by men will not be able to humble himself and submit under the mighty hand and Word of God. But all who believe as the Scripture says will receive divine revelation and accept correction.

In the days of King Ahab the Prophet Micah saw the Lord sitting upon His Throne.
