SEA OF GLASS

A body of water in the vision of heaven described by John in the book of Revelation (Rv 4:6). It appears again later, in a different vision (15:2), and is perhaps connected with other “sea” references in the same book (13:1; 21:1). It probably depicts the vast expanse before God’s throne. The crystal clearness of this sea may symbolize that everything is translucent and revealed in the presence of God.
