“And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.”
At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone seated on it — the ecstatic transport (en pneumati) places John in visionary state; the throne (thronos) is the central axis of heaven and cosmos, the seat of absolute sovereignty. The one seated on it is God (presented as a figure, though not fully described in anthropomorphic terms).
