"After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne."
This set of verses had such beautiful imagery in it that I read it several times to take it in. There was a door standing open, and a voice called to John and told him to come into heaven so he could be given prophecy about the future. John sees a throne in heaven with an occupant and John says His appearance was of jasper and ruby. Jasper can either be a brownish color or green; in this instance it seems like it would be a brownish color. More information on jasper at this link: Jasper
The beauty of this scene is wonderful to contemplate: a being seated on a throne looking like a person made of jewels, and also a beautiful rainbow that looks to the viewer to be as shiny as a jewel itself, encircling the throne in heaven. I thought it would be nice just to pause a bit and take in that beautiful imagery before moving on to the verses of prophecy. This is just a hint of the sights we will see in heaven if we repent of our sins, accept Christ as Savior, and obey his teachings.
