18二十一章二十三节说,“那城内不需要日月光照,因有神的荣耀光照,又有羔羊为城的灯。”在这里我们看见,那是灯的羔羊基督,凭着是光的神照耀,用神的荣耀,就是神圣之光的彰显,照亮这城。基督,羔羊,乃是灯,而神是灯里面的光。因为光在灯里面,所以光不能与灯分开。我们由这可以看见,神与基督如何坐在一个宝座上。神在基督里面,正如光在灯里面一样。既然神是在基督里坐在宝座上,神与基督就都坐在诸天之上的一个宝座上。
18Revelation 21:23 says, “The city has no need of the sun or of the moon that they should shine in it, for the glory of God illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.” Here we see that the Lamb, Christ, as the lamp shines with God as the light to illumine the city with the glory of God, the expression of the divine light. Christ, the Lamb, is the lamp, and God is the light within the lamp. Because the light is in the lamp, the light cannot be separated from the lamp. We can see from this how both God and Christ are sitting on one throne. Just as the light is in the lamp, so God is in Christ. Since God is in Christ sitting on the throne, both God and Christ sit on one throne in the heavens.
