QUESTION: Hi, according to Churches Of Christ

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: The most common figure mentioned as sitting on a throne in heaven is God Himself, so I will take the leap and say probably Yehova.  There is the possibility that it is Christ, but Isaiah mentions the same words "Holy, Holy, Holy" so odds are its Father God.  The only being referred to as the "lamb" in scripture is Christ.  The Bride of the lamb according to scripture is the Church. If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.

QUESTION: It means that God Almighty have body thats why he sit on the throne and all elders are stand and praise in front of Him.

Answer
The use of the word "body" here should be taken very lightly.  The idea of a corporeal manifestation of God is very limiting. Yes, God can have a body when it suits Him, but let us not limit Him to only a body.  As I said before since Isaiah has basically mentions the same exact words as the account in Revelation does it is most likely God on the throne.
