Did someone say THRONE?
Aw, yeah!
It appears that the
Book of Revelation includes more references
to God's throne than any other passage in the bible.
The word "throne" is used 28 times in the
Book of Revelation (possibly
more, but that was my most recent count).

Revelation 3:20 - 22
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that
overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches.

Revelation 4:1-10
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice
which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here,
and I will show you things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the
spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 And he
that sat was to look on like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round
about the throne, in sight like to an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four
and twenty seats: and on the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white
raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightning and thunder and voices: and there were
seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 And
before the throne there was a sea of glass like to crystal: and in the middle of the throne, and
round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first
beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man,
and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes
within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was,
and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him
that sat on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down
before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives for ever and ever, and cast their
crowns before the throne, saying, 11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and
power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 5:1, 6, 7, 11 & 13
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the
throne of God and of the Lamb.
6 And I beheld, and, see, in the middle of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the middle
of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right
hand of him that sat on the throne.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and
the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are
in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be to him
that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever.

Revelation 7:9-17
9 After this I beheld, and, see, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations,
and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with
white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God
which sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about
the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying,
Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God
for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and
from where came they? 14 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits
on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall
the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the middle of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them to living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 22:1-4
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of
God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there
the tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of
the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall
be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun;
for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
