The Glory of God
Now comes the echo of the majestic
Tread of the conquering Christ as He
Marches in triumph through the ages,
And now swings open a celestial door.
John sees the glory and majesty of
God sitting on a throne appearing in
Jasper, pure white, and carnelian, blood red
Symbolizing holiness and righteousness.
A rainbow giving hope, and Twenty-four
Elders on thrones symbolized comfort
For persecuted Christians facing
Cruel and imminent death.
From the throne came flashes of lightning,
Rumblings and peals of thunder which shows
God’s displeasure at the enemies of the cross.
The seven lights refer to the Holy Spirit.
These visions brought fresh courage
To churches. Though the enemies
Of the Cross might rage, and heresy rife,
Yet there was hope because God reigns.
