The article deals with the opening vision of the main part of Revelation (Rev 4–5). Together with 21:1–22:7 it frames the visionary narratives. The beginning and the ending visions give insight into heaven: the heavenly throne room in Rev 4–5 and the new heaven in Rev 22:1–22:7. The function, OT and liturgical background of the heavenly throne vision will be presented now.
