Kingdom of God has a foundation."Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."(2 Ti.2:19).So God has a word for man, "Wherefore hear the word of the Lord," This foundation is laid on a stone, "Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:" It is sure foundation and it upon which Wisdom has built her house with seven pillars. (Is.28:14,16;Pr.9:1) In token of this foundation we have various precious stones to indicate the throne of God and we see them in the visions of Ezekiel and of John. Apart from these we have one that marks the throne of the Lamb.
"And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." These are set in precious stones to be seen as the breastplate of the high priest was to be seen for glory and beauty. "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl."(21:21) This pearl establishes the glory of the Son who as the writer to the Hebrews says, Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."(He.1:3) The word of God created this city on the sure foundation of Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection gives out the radiance. "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."(Re.21:23-24) This glory sets the hyphenated thrones as one. The throne of God signifies Power and glory which is what our prayer carries."For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
