Question
Hi, according to Bible
Who is sit on the Throne in Revelation 4:10
and who is the lamb in Revelation 5:6
and who will be the bride of Lamb ?


Answer
Hope this helps; these answers are pretty straightforward in scripture.

The throne of Revelation is occupied by God.  It could be either the Father or the Son, but Revelation 5 mentions the Lamb (who is the Son), and so the one on the Throne is God the Father.

The bride of the Lamb is the Church (cf. Rev 21:2, Hosea 2, 1 Cor 7), which is the Body to which Christ is the head.

Hope that helps!

Pax Christi,

Expertise

I have a wide knowledge of the Old and New Testaments, a working knowledge of biblical Greek, and a fundamental understanding of 1st century Aramaic. I can answer questions regarding the nature of salvation and the God-head, the relation of Christ to his Church, the nature of the Sacraments, etc. I do specialize in Catholic and Orthodox issues (why they believe in apostolic succession, or the Real Presence in the Eucharist, etc) and in giving biblical (and historical) perspective on such topics. I have a good working knowledge of the Pre- and Ante-Nicean fathers too.
