||
## Definition:
|
||
|
||
A throne is a specially-designed chair where a ruler sits when he decides important matters and listens to requests from his people.
|
||
|
||
* A throne is also a symbol of the authority and power that a ruler has.
|
||
* The word “throne” can also be used to refer to the ruler, his reign, or his power.
|
||
* In the Bible, God was often portrayed as a king who sits on his throne. Jesus was described as sitting on a throne at the right hand of God the Father.
|
||
* Jesus said that heaven is God’s throne. One way to translate this could be, “where God reigns as king.”
