“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.”
And in front of the throne there is something like a sea of glass, like crystal — the sea of glass (thalassa) may evoke the Red Sea crossed in salvation, the laver of the tabernacle, or the cosmic sea subdued; its crystal clarity suggests transparency and purity. This sea separates heaven (realm of God) from earth (realm of chaos), though Revelation 4:6 places it within the throne room itself.
