Strong's Lexicon thronos: Throne Original Word: θρόνος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root θράω (thrao), meaning "to sit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3678 (כִּסֵּא, kise): Often translated as "throne," used in the Old Testament to denote a seat of honor or authority, particularly in reference to God's throne or the throne of David. Usage: In the New Testament, "thronos" primarily refers to a seat of authority or power. It is used to describe the throne of God, the throne of Christ, and the thrones of earthly rulers. The term signifies sovereignty, dominion, and judgment. It is often associated with divine authority and the majesty of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, a throne was a symbol of royal authority and governance. It was typically an elevated seat, often ornately decorated, signifying the ruler's power and status. In the Jewish context, the concept of a throne was deeply connected to the Davidic covenant, where God promised that David's lineage would have an everlasting kingdom. The throne thus became a symbol of God's eternal rule and the anticipated Messianic reign.
