And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it. a lively description of the last Judgment, A Great Throne: Great, because it is set up for the General Judgment of all, ⟨p. 179⟩for the universal judgment of the whole world: Before this Throne all the Great ones of the world must stand, Popes, Emperors, Kings, Princes, Nobles, Judges, Prelates, without their Mitres, Crowns, Sceptres, Royal Robes, Gold chains, &c. And before this Throne, all other sorts and ranks of men must stand. And he that sits upon this Throne, is a great King, and a great1 God above all Gods; he is Prince of the Kings of the earth, who is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Upon all which accounts, this Throne may well be called a great Throne. And 'tis called A White Throne, because of its Celestial Splendour and Majesty, and to show the uprightness and Glory of the Judge: The white colour in Scripture, is used to represent purity and glory; here it signifies, that Christ the Judge shall give most just and righteous Judgment, free from all spot of partiality.
