1C The throne, the authority, of God and of the Lamb is not only the source of the divine administration; it is also the source of the divine fellowship—vv. 1-2:
32 Whereas the throne is a matter of authority, the flowing river is a matter of fellowship, signified by the street, which is of “pure gold, like transparent glass”—Rev. 21:21:
63 In order to build up a local church in a practical way, we need both the throne of God and of the Lamb and the water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne and flowing on the street—Rev. 22:1-2.
