In the gospel church, the laver for purification is the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, which cleanses from all sin. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne the gifts, graces, and operations of the Spirit of God in the churches of Christ, dispensed according to the will and pleasure of Him who sits upon the throne. Lightnings and voices came from the throne the awful declarations God makes to his church, of his sovereign will and pleasure. They were clothed in white raiment the imputed righteousness of the saints and their holiness: they had on their heads crowns of gold, signifying the glory they have with him. Their sitting denotes honour, rest, and satisfaction their sitting about the throne signifies nearness to God, the sight and enjoyment they have of him. Four-and-twenty seats around the throne, were filled with four-and-twenty elders, representing, probably, the whole church of God. The prevailing colour was a pleasant green, showing the reviving and refreshing nature of the new covenant. The rainbow is a fit emblem of that covenant of promise which God has made with Christ, as the Head of the church, and with all his people in him. These seem emblems of the excellence of the Divine nature, and of God's awful justice. He saw a glorious One upon the throne, not described by human features, so as to be represented by a likeness or image, but only by his surpassing brightness. The apostle saw a throne set in heaven, an emblem of the universal dominion of Jehovah.
