## Definition: ##
|
|
|
|
A throne is a specially-designed chair where a king sits to decide important matters and to listen to requests from his people.
|
|
|
|
* A throne is also a symbol of the authority and power that a king has.
|
|
* The word "throne" is often used figuratively to refer to the king, his reign, or his power. (See: [metonymy](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-ta-translate-vol2/src/master/content/figs_metonymy.md))
|
|
* In the Bible, God is often portrayed as a king who sits on his throne. Jesus is described as sitting on a throne at the right hand of God the Father.
|
|
* Jesus said that heaven is God's throne. One way to translate this could be, "where God reigns as king."
