What does John see? Listen, as he now shares with us his grand experience: "After these things I immediately came to be in the power of the spirit: and, look! a throne was in its position in heaven and there is one seated upon the throne." (Revelation 4:2) In an instant of time, John is spiritually transported by God's active force to the very throne of Jehovah. How thrilling for John! Here he is given a dazzling preview of those very heavens wherein he and other anointed Christians have reserved for them "an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance." (1 Peter 1:3-5; Philippians 3:20) For those who hope it is to live forever on earth, John's vision has also profound meaning. It helps them to comprehend the glory of Jehovah's presence and of the heavenly ruling structure used by Jehovah in judging the nations and afterward in governing human lives on earth. Jehovah is indeed the God of superb organization!
