In the center, the Throne of David: it is marked by the six pointed star, representing the Old Covenant and the sovereignity of Israel, and by the Cross of Christ over the Globe, representing the New Covenant and the expansion among the Gentiles.
On the seatback it is written the prophecy of David (Psalm 68:31) ኢትዮጵያ ፡ ታበጽሕ ፡ እደዊሃ ፡ ኀበ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ። Ityoppya Tabetzeh Eddewiha habe Egziabhier :: literally: “Ethiopia shall make her hands reach unto Egziabhier”, commonly translated as “Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God”.
On the right side of the throne, the left for the one who reads, we have Mikaiel, representing the Seraphim, the right hand authority of God and His terrible judgment (the scale). The cross is marked on the chest of Mikaiel, for He defeated Satan after his primordial rebellion, beating him by a Cross of Light.
On the other side of the throne, we have Gebrièl, representing the Cherubim, forgiveness and mercy. He announced the birth of Christ to Maryam, bringing to her a lilly, and similarly here he carries a palm, symbol of paradise and glorification.
On the lower part, the Lion of Judah, representing Christ in His resurrected victorious Character, that He had to manifest fully in His Second Coming as King upon the throne of David, according to the prophetical scriptures. The passage of the Revelation of John (5:5) is thus reported: ሞዓ፡አንበሳ፡ዘእምነገደ፡ይሁዳ። Moa Anbesa ZeEmneggede Yhuda :: “The Lion from the Tribe of Judah has prevailed”.
On the upper part, the Imperial crown covering and overshadowing everything like an umbrella tent, as universal sovereignty of God watching and ruling over His Kingdom.
Above the Throne, the Tablets of Moses and the Book represent the revelation of Egziabhier, the Law and the Bible that set and guide the Royalty of David.
Around the Book, three letters express a very deep and precious meditation. አ፡ወ፡ኦ “A WE O”. This is a quotation from Revelation 22,13: አነ፡ውእቱ፡አልፋ፡ወኣ፡አነ፡ቀዳማዊ፡ወአነ፡ደኃራዊ፡ርእስ፡ወማኅለቅት። “Ane Weetu Alfa WeO Ane Qedamawi WeAne Deharawi Rees WeMaheleqt”. “I am Alfa and O, I the First and I the Last, the Head and the End.” Here is expressed the mystery of the 2 comings of Christ, and the duality of His Nature (Lamb and Lion, God and Man) embracing and reconciling every polarity. It is also the fullness of His dispensation we keep and revere from the first chapter to the last, from Genesis to Revelation.
