Beginning of the Things Yet to Come
The rainbow around the throne signifies God’s grace – the reminder of His promise that He will never flood the earth again
The thunder and lightning signifies God’s judgement.
The writing on the backing the scroll signifies the conditions of redemption of a title deed.
