Surrounding God's throne are 24 elders who all bow down. The human body has 12 ribs on each side that each face downward. There are 4 living creatures surrounding the throne with eyes within and without. The heart has 4 chambers with holes within and without for the passage of blood. Thunder and lightning proceed forth from His throne. The heart has an electrical system which shoots across the heart much like lightning causing myocardial contraction. The heart also makes a lub-dub sound similar to thunder due to the contracted blood being ejected and the closure of valves. Our bodies are called temples of the living God, and interestingly have similarities to His throne room. If this comparison is correct then God's throne would be on our heart. I guess it is up to us if we give Him the proper place in our life as our ruler and King.
