When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He shall sit upon the throne of His glory Matt. xxv 31 seq.

It treats there of the last judgment.

O Jehovah, Thou hast made my judgment, Thou hast sat upon the throne, a Judge of justice. Jehovah will prepare His throne for judgment Ps. ix 4, 5, 7 [H.B. 5, 6, 8].

I saw when the Ancient of days did sit, His throne as a flame of fire; a thousand and thousands were ministering to Him, and a myriad of myriads were standing before Him: the judgment was in session, and the books were opened Dan. vii 9, 10.

Jerusalem has been built, thither the tribes go up, and there thrones are set for judgment Ps. cxxii 3, 5.

I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them Rev. xx 4.

The throne built by Solomon (1 Kings x 18-20) used to signify both royalty and judgment, since the kings, when they gave judgments, used to sit upon thrones. It is said that a 'throne' signifies judgment in a representative form, because the things that John saw were visions that were representing. They were seen as he has described, but they were forms representative of future things, as can be established from the things following, as that animals, the dragon, beasts, the temple, the tabernacle, the ark, and other things besides, were seen. The things that were seen by the prophets were similar, of which above (n. 36).
