A Glimpse Of The Throne Room Of God
We had a look at the topic of “Holiness” yesterday. Our main emphasis is on God’s Holiness that is incomparable and unique. None of us can come close to the holiness of God because even heaven is not pure in God’s eyes. Even the angels are not faultless or without any errors and shortcomings! God is perfectly holy.
The word ‘holy’ and its synonyms have been mentioned around 500 times in the Bible. Throughout the Bible, we see the usage of the word ‘holy’ multiple times. The Bible is also referred to as the ‘Holy Bible’ for it has come from the ‘Holy God’. If you are closely related to God, then the holiness will flow into you as well!
If we take a look at the wilderness temple from the Old Testament, we see 3 phases;
Holiness and the grace of God is sitting in the most holy place - the holy of holies. Let us look at some scriptural passages where is it declared that God is holy;
Leviticus 11:44 says I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.
1 Peter 1:16 says for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
In the Bible, the first and the last song are both about holiness. The first song is seen in Exodus 15:1-18 It is a long song written by a brother and a sister. This is called “the song of Moses and Miriam”. This song was written during a time of big change. The central theme of the song was focused on the holiness of God.
Verse 11 reads Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
THERE IS NO GOD LIKE OUR GOD!
Even His presence is filled with holiness, that things that are unworthy cannot stand next to Him. He does not condone idol worship, false teachings, anything that is unholy!
The last song to be recorded can be seen in Revelation 15:3-4.
This song is known as the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb. John the Apostle wrote this after hearing it during the revelation that he had received. This song is comparatively shorter to the first song.
Let us focus on the lyric mentioned in verse 4; Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
There are many more songs mentioned throughout the Bible about the holiness of God especially in the book of Psalms.
Now let us take a quick peek into the throne room of God. This throne room is located in the third heavens. Only two people in the Bible were given the chance to look into the throne room of God.
Isaiah 6:3 says, And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
Revelation 4:8 says Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’[a] who was, and is, and is to come.”
We can see from both the accounts that the angels since the beginning of time have been continuously calling and proclaiming the holiness of God. And they continue to do so even after centuries.
We worship God for who He is!
We praise God for what He is!
We thank God for what He does for us!

If we take a look at the wilderness temple from the Old Testament, we see 3 phases;
- Outer court - the entry is open to all
- Holy place - Entry restricted, only priests can enter
- Holy of Holies - Only high priests can enter
