<p>4:2<em> Immediately I was in the Spirit- </em>Being &quot;in the Spirit&quot; was in response to the invitation to come 'up' to Heaven to view the court room (:1).</p><p><em>And beheld a throne set in heaven; and one sitting upon the throne</em>- The setting up of the throne recalls the language of the throne being 'set' for judgment at Christ's return (Ps. 122:5; Dan. 7:9). As noted on :1, the entire vision in chapter 4 is of the state of affairs at the last day being reflected in the Heavenly throne room. Thrones set on earth are set in Heaven, just as David on earth sat as it were on the throne of God in Heaven as king.</p>
