High throne and the house full of glory
I saw the Lord seated on a throne high and lifted up. Not everyone who sees the Lord sees him on a high throne — Daniel saw thrones set; in Jehoshaphat’s valley he sits to judge. God is seen above or below according to the matter’s worth. The house was full of his glory — not this earthly fullness of God’s glory.
Latin
Vidi Dominum sedentem super thronum excelsum et elevatum. Non omnis qui videt Dominum videt eum in throno excelso — Daniel throni positi; in valle Iosaphat iudicaturus. Aliquando Deus sursum aliquando deorsum iuxta dignitatem. Plena domus gloria eius — non haec terrena plenitudo gloriae Dei.
