Question Corner

By Editor

"Enquire, and make search, and ask diligently."

No. 644. The Sea of Glass.

Is "THE sea of glass" above, or here below?
The "sea of glass," or the sea as clear as glass, or crystal, is mentioned in Rev. 4:6 and 15:2. It is before the throne of God, and is therefore now in heaven. It is typified by the lavers before the ancient tabernacle and temple. See Ex. 30:18; 1 Kings 7:38. It would be a fitting type of the purifying power of the blood or life of Christ, and the Spirit of God.
