The throne is said by various holy books to reside beyond the Seventh Heaven which is called Araboth (Hebrew: עֲרָבוֹת ‘ărāḇōṯ) in Judaism.
Micaiah's extended prophecy (1 Kings 22:19) is the first detailed depiction of a heavenly throne room in Judaism.
Many Christians consider this a literal event,[citation needed] others such as Goulder (1998) view the vision as symbolic of crisis on earth, such as opposition from Sanballat the Horonite.
[11] The vast majority of Islamic scholars, including Sunnis (Ash'aris, Maturidis, and Sufis), Mu'tazilis, and Shi'is (Twelvers and Isma'ilis) believe the Throne (Arabic: العرش al-'Arsh) is a symbol of God's power and authority and not as a dwelling place for Himself[12][13][14] while some Islamic sects, such as the Karramis and the Salafis/Wahhabis, believe that God has created it as a place of dwelling.
[15][16][17] The Quran depicts the angels as carrying the throne of God and praising his glory, similar to Old Testament images.
