The realization of God's divine purpose and the establishment of His Kingdom of Heaven on earth encapsulate the divine order described in the Book of Revelation. The portrayal of God's throne serves as a reflection of His nature—His character is vividly depicted through His attributes—and these qualities progressively manifest themselves on the earthly plane. This vision can be comprehended as a comprehensive, eternal symbol that encompasses the entire span of human history. While it overlaps with the narrative from humanity’s fall through to the creation of the new heavens and new earth, it also demonstrates how God's Word becomes flesh and is made tangible in the world. Our understanding begins with the Old Testament's emphasis on the Word—the hope rooted in the eternal Logos, the divine origin of all creation—which is ultimately fulfilled in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The chronological progression traces earthly events, starting with the focus on the Lamb of God ascending to His throne. Yet, when considering the throne itself, we see a vision of the Lamb’s eternal nature—His redemptive work surpasses temporal, earthly events. His act of salvation, exemplified through His choosing of the redeemed, has implications that extend even before the Incarnation, thereby uniting heaven and earth within a continuous divine narrative. Moreover, this divine Word reveals the Lamb’s Davidic identity, as shown by the symbolic act of opening the scroll when Christ enters the temple and declares that the prophecies of that era are fulfilled. These moments are deeply rooted in Israel’s history, especially during the period of the divided monarchy. Through the Lamb’s sacrifice in history, a new paradigm emerges for understanding and experiencing apocalyptic events, as conveyed by the saints of the New Testament, who intercede from heaven and point back to the cross as the foundation of their hope. It is also noteworthy that the symbolism of incense transitions from its biblical origins into the heavenly throne room. The angels are depicted as mediators of divine justice, reflecting the curses inscribed in the law. The incarnate divine Word embodies the hope cherished by the saints of the Old Testament, a hope that moves John to tears of despair as he witnesses the breaking of the seals. These seals symbolize the Lamb’s responses to the chaos and upheaval unfolding on Earth following the catastrophe that introduces the heavenly realm into the apocalyptic narrative. The term "seals" also alludes to the multitude of saints from the Old Testament who ascended to heaven through the Lamb’s sacrificial death and resurrection, as reflected in their reactions to the turmoil on Earth. The presence of these saints in heaven indicates that humanity is approaching the final epoch on earth, signaling the nearing end of history. From my perspective, prayers offered within the context of the New Testament hold greater power because they are deeply connected to the catastrophic events that ultimately lead to the renewal and restoration of all creation, as especially reflected in the trumpet judgments. However, these perspectives also encompass an eternal dimension, linking the symbolism of trumpets found in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, prayers—particularly those in the Psalms—serve as a means of communion with heaven, mediated by the Lamb, our High Priest, who no longer dwells on earth but has ascended to the throne as the Shepherd of Israel. He guides believers toward eternal life in union with Him. Our prayers gain greater significance amid disturbing signs, such as the smoke ascending before the heavenly altar, which symbolizes creation’s suffering and the gradual destruction of the earth. These signs herald the beginning of the final phase of history, indicating that the ultimate fulfillment is imminent.
