Symbolism in the Book of Revelation

The one throne occupied by God and Jesus Christ symbolizes their equal partnership in ruling and reigning in heaven. The continuous flow of water from underneath the throne represents the life-giving power from the Father and the Son. The imagery of the tree yielding nations signifies a place without sickness, poverty, or injustice. The symbolism in Revelation reveals the three aspects of eternal life: the source from God and Christ, the continuous life without death's power, and the untainted and uncorrupted quality of life. The tree and water symbolize the love of God, freely given even to sinners.
