Thrones are based on the description of the wheels (''[[wikipedia:ophanim|ophanim]]'' in Hebrew) of God's chariot in the Book of Ezekiel, which are interpreted as a class of angel in later writings. The name "throne" comes from Colossians 1:16, which mentions that God is the creator of thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers; this is interpreted by some as referring to kinds of angels, and the thrones are identified with the ''ophanim'' of Ezekiel. | |||
