In Chapters 4 and 5 of Revelations John records all that he experienced in his vision of Heaven. Many scholars claim that this vision is one of the greatest found in the Bible. Truly John's trip to Heaven stretches John to the farthest boundaries of his imagination and vocabulary.
God is the central figure, though John takes careful pains to not describe Him. Next to God, the Throne receives the most attention and serves as a counter-weight to all earthly thrones. John wants us to see the contrast between God on the True Throne, and those who sit in power and judgment while on earth.
I fear that that we could talk all day and still not catch the total glory and beauty of God as found in Revelations 4!
