And One Sat On The Throne (Revelation 4:2)
“And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.”

I was recently presented with a statement in reference to (Revelation 4:2); “Paul only saw one sitting on the throne and that one sitting was Jesus”. Unfortunately that is not what that passage states.
(1.) First, it is not disputed that the throne mentioned was that of God (the Father); however
(2.) It was not the throne of Jesus (his Son); this is made clear in (Revelation 3:21) “as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

Whether the thrones are literal or figurative is irrelevant, for a distinction is made clear nonetheless, God has a throne and Jesus has a throne. We can only speculate if the throne Jesus refers to as “my throne” is actually that of King David or a different throne.
(Revelation 3:21) “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
