Sea of glass like crystal

Revelation 4 ESV
(6) and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:



Revelation 22 ESV
(1) Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb


In ancient cultures a raging sea could not be tamed and was dark and chaotic.

But in the presence of YHWH the sea is tame/calm and bright.

Sissy, Also you might also look a 'censer' in the tabernacle where the Priest would wash the sins of Israel away. vs the sea of Glass at this point there is no need to be washed....a PUN? maybe

I have thought about that, especially the bronze laver of Solomon's temple held up by the 12 bulls.

I tend to lean more towards it representing the living water flowing from the throne of YHWH.
But as with a lot of things in scripture, things can carry more than just one level of meaning.

Yep, the water flowing from the throne of YHWH is most likely correct also.
