Question
Hi, according to catholic
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; it's not terribly dependent upon being a Catholic, for 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,
