- I saw the LORD[YHWH]:
- Micaiah evidently gives here an account of what appeared to him in a vision. Many of the circumstances must be considered as parabolical; for truth, rather than facts, is revealed in such representations. "Again he said,ª° Therefore¹ hearª° the wordª of the LORD;ª I sawª°¹ the LORDª sittingª° upon¹ his throne,ª and all¹ the hostª of heavenª standingª° on¹ his right handª and [on] his left.ª ... Now¹ therefore, behold,¹ the LORDª hath putª° a lyingª spiritª in the mouthª of these¹ thy prophets,ª and the LORDª hath spokenª° evilª against¹ thee." {2Ch 18:18-22} + "In the yearª that kingª Uzziahª diedª I sawª° alsoª the Lordª sittingª° upon¹ a throne,ª highª° and lifted up,ª° and his trainª filledª²¹ the temple.ª ... And one criedª° unto¹¹ another,¹ and said,ª° Holy,ª holy,ª holy,ª [is] the LORDª of hosts:ª the whole¹ earthª [is] fullª of his glory.ª" {Isa 6:1-3} + "And aboveª¹ the firmamentª that¹ [was] over¹ their headsª [was] the likenessª of a throne,ª as the appearanceª of a sapphireª stone:ª and upon¹ the likenessª of the throneª [was] the likenessª as the appearanceª of a manª aboveª¹ upon¹ it. ... As the appearanceª of the bowª that¹ is¹ in the cloudª in the dayª of rain,ª so¹ [was] the appearanceª of the brightnessª round about.ª This¹ [was] the appearanceª of the likenessª of the gloryª of the LORD.ª And when I sawª° [it], I fellª° upon¹ my face,ª and I heardª° a voiceª of one that spake.ª°" {Ezk 1:26-28} + "I beheldªª°° tillª¹ the thronesª were cast down,ª° and the Ancientª of daysª did sit,ª° whose garmentª [was] whiteª as snow,ª and the hairª of his headª like the pureª wool:ª his throneª [was like] the fieryª¹ flame,ª [and] his wheelsª [as] burningª° fire.ª ... A fieryª¹ streamª issuedª° and came forthª° fromª beforeª him: thousandª thousandsª ministeredª° unto him, and ten thousand² times ten thousandª stoodª° beforeª him: the judgmentª was set,ª° and the booksª were opened.ª°" {Dan 7:9-10} + "Butª he, beingª° fullª of the Holyª Ghost,ª looked up stedfastlyª° intoª heaven,ª and sawª° the gloryª of God,ª andª Jesusª standingª° onª the right handª of God,ª ... Andª said,ª° Behold,ª° I seeª° the¹ heavensª opened,ª° andª the¹ Sonª of manª standingª° onª the right handª of God.ª" {Act 7:55-56} + "Andª immediatelyª I wasª° inª the spirit:ª and,ª behold,ª° a throneª was setª° inª heaven,ª andª [one] satª° onª the¹ throne.ª ... Andª he that satª° wasª° to look uponª likeª a jasperª andª a sardineª stone:ª andª [there was] a rainbowª round aboutª the¹ throne,ª in sightª like² unto¹ an emerald.ª" {Rev 4:2-3}
