heavenly throne
God's royal chair
The heavenly throne is God's seat of authority in religious cosmology—the place from which divine power emanates and judgment issues.
The phrase appears throughout scripture and liturgy: angels gathered around the heavenly throne, prayers ascending to the heavenly throne.
It represents ultimate sovereignty, the cosmic center from which all creation is governed.
