This book describes, in biblical text and beautiful full-color paintings, a vision seen by the apostle John while on the island of Patmos. John sees a heavenly throne room with God on the throne. Four creatures covered with eyes and wings, an emerald rainbow, a glassy sea, and twenty-four crowned elders are some of the amazing images surrounding the throne. After the story, an inner meaning is offered in simple terms, based on the works of Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century Christian writer. The scene of the Throne Room of Heaven is viewed as a visual description of God's loving presence inside each person.
