The Throne Before The Tribulation | Revelation 4:1-6a | Matthew Maher

In Revelation 4, heaven opens—and the first thing John sees is not chaos, not judgment, not angels in motion… but a throne. Before the tribulation unfolds on earth, Scripture reveals the settled authority of heaven. God is not reacting—He is reigning. The throne is established, the King is seated, and everything that follows in Revelation 6–19 flows from this throne-room reality. In this message, we walk verse-by-verse through Revelation 4:1–6, seeing the prophetic hinge of “after these things,” the heavenly administration of what comes next, the glory of the One on the throne, the crowned elders surrounding Him, and the holiness that precedes judgment. The world below may be shaking—but the throne above is settled. Be sure to subscribe to the Landmark Church YouTube Channel and wherever you access podcasts to stay updated on all upcoming sermons.
