A Vision of Christ on the Throne
All the commentators agree that the man-like figure on the throne is a vision of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. John Calvin calls this a "prelude" to the mystery of the Incarnation. This Old Testament vision reveals that the ultimate authority over creation is the one who would become human, which Matthew Henry calls "good news" for humanity.
