What does dreaming about king & throne mean in the Bible?
Authority — and the King above every king
Isaiah's life turned the year he saw the Lord "high and lifted up" on a throne. Kings in dreams often stand for authority — those over you, or authority you are called to carry. Scripture keeps the order clear: God reigns over the nations, and Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, king & throne is filed under people & beings — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Isaiah 6:1, 1 Timothy 6:15, Psalms 47:8. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to king & throne, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
