A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
The place of the sanctuary is a glorious high throne established from the beginning. That throne is Christ's sanctuary and marks His supremacy over the angels as ministers. The Son is the anointed of God, the express image of the Father's person and the brightness of His glory upholding all things by His power, whose throne is eternal and exalted and whose kingdom is ruled by a scepter of righteousness, with honor and majesty before Him, strength and beauty in His sanctuary, and mercy and truth going before His face.
In context the verse stands in the contrast between trusting the Lord and the deceitfulness and judgment of those who forsake Him, with the Lord as the hope of Israel and the fountain of living waters. The surrounding context presents the Lord of the throne as searching the heart and trying the reins to give every man according to his ways and the fruit of his doings. He puts to shame all who forsake Him and writes in the earth those who depart from Him, and makes the getter of riches not by right a fool. He heals and saves those who call to Him and is strength and fortress and refuge in the day of affliction.
The verse is given to physicians to speak as they take their stand on vantage ground amid temptation and danger. They are to confess it in trusting in the Lord and making constant progress heavenward. They do this in partnership with Christ the great Physician to restore the sick with nature's remedies.
