+ The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nation's Millennium General Assembly +

....a long title for a taste of something ultimately worthwhile....

We spent our darkest days/
Howling at the moon/
Close enough to see our low condition/
And did you wish that we were one?/
Have you ever known your maker?/
Could you ever lead your song aloft the mountain tops?/
You could never swing that dagger./

Give your soul to us/

"The Throne parallels the Book of Revelation in other respects. John saw God on a throne of shining silver and gold surrounded by a multitude of angels, and Hampton obviously strove to capture that splendor.

Whether or not Hampton actually expected his throne to be occupied at the Second Coming is not known."
