The imagery of a throne is consistent throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/isaiah/6.htm">Isaiah 6:1</a> and <a href="/daniel/7-9.htm">Daniel 7:9</a>, where God is portrayed as the ultimate ruler. The throne signifies judgment, power, and the divine right to rule over creation.Behold, I make all things new This declaration points to the transformative power of God, emphasizing renewal and restoration. It echoes the promises found in <a href="/isaiah/43-19.htm">Isaiah 43:19</a> and <a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>, where God speaks of doing a new thing and believers becoming new creations in Christ. This renewal is both physical and spiritual, indicating the complete restoration of creation and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.Then He said, “Write this down The command to write underscores the importance and permanence of the message.

This ensures that the message is preserved for future generations and highlights the reliability of God's word.for these words are faithful and true.” This assurance emphasizes the trustworthiness and certainty of God's promises. The terms "faithful" and "true" are often used in Scripture to describe God's character and His words, as seen in <a href="/psalms/33-4.htm">Psalm 33:4</a> and <a href="/john/17-17.htm">John 17:17</a>.

And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.">Revelation 21:5-8</a>).(5) And he that sat upon the throne . . .--Better, And he who sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And he saith (the words "unto me" should be omitted) write; because these words are faithful and true. It is the Throned one, the One who rules over all things from the beginning, and who has presided over all the changing scenes of earth's history, who speaks; it is He who makes even the wrath of man to praise Him, and who causes all things to work together for good to them that love Him, who gives this heart-helping assurance. "I am making all things new." In spite of the moral disorder, the pain and grief, the dark shadows of life and history, the new creation is being prepared, and will rise, like the early creation, out of chaos. The analogy between the old and new creation is the reason why the first chapter of Genesis and the earlier verses of this chapter are appointed as the morning lessons for Septuagesima Sunday; as out of an earth without form and void rose the world of order and beauty, which God pronounced very good, so out of the world, so full of distress and tears, and overshadowed by so many clouds of sin, will emerge the glad new world, wherein dwelleth righteousness. The closing words of the verse, perhaps an instruction from the angel, but more probably still the voice of Him that sits on the throne, adds the further assurance, "These words are true and faithful."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 5 - And he that sat upon the throne said; that sitteth (cf. <a href="/revelation/20-11.htm">Revelation 20:11</a> and <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31</a>).
