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
Thankyou for your question Nick


 The one who sits on the throne in Rev. 4:10 is God.  The four beasts greets Him in verse 8 by saying "Lord God Almighty" that address tells us who sits on the throne, it's God's throne.  The Lamb in Rev. 5:6 is Jesus, the verse states it was a "Lamb that was slain" refering to Christ and his crucifition.  Jesus himself refered to himself as a lamb, and in the first couple of chapters of John, John the Baptist refers to Jesus as the "Lamb of God."  The bride of the Lamb is the church, the church in the New Testament.  Jesus gave an example of it in Matthew 9:15, in how he is the bridegroom preparing the bride (the church) to join in union with Him.  I also see that word in Revelation as well in all instances speaking of the church.  I trust and pray that I have answered these questions truthfully and if you have any more question feel free to ask, have a blessed day.
