We encounter many throne room scenes in the Bible. The throne room scene in Revelation chapter four, much like Isaiah chapter six, introduces us to the holiness of the eternal God. ―Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty‖ is the refrain that is repeated in God’s presence, but what does it mean to sing or to say that ―God is Holy‖? The holiness of God resides primarily in God’s transcendent nature. John wants to encourage his readers to understand that there is none like the Lord. God is unique and calls us to be a unique people in the world. We are to be holy as God is holy!
