Correct.
Immediately
I was in the Spirit; and behold, a
throne was standing in heaven, and
One sitting on the throne. 3And
He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and
there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. 4Around
the throne were twenty-four thrones;
and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white
garments, and golden crowns on their heads. 5Out from the throne come
flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps
of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6and
before the throne there was something like a
sea of glass, like crystal; and
in the center and around the throne,
four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. Revelation
4:2-4 (NAS)
In John's vision, he saw many things, including a throne standing in heaven
with One sitting on the throne. Around the throne were 24 thrones (one for
each of the 24 elders), seven lamps of fire (the seven Spirits of God), a sea of
glass, and four living creatures.
It would be impossible for us to precisely
illustrate or imagine the awe and majesty of the throne
room of God that John saw in his vision.
Following is a very simple illustration to begin to
help us picture what John saw:
