The 'thrones'; also known as 'ophanim' (offanim) and 'galgallin',
are creatures that function as the actual chariots of God driven by the cherubs.
They are characterized by peace and submission;
God rests upon them.

Thrones are depicted as great wheels containing many eyes,
and reside in the area of the cosmos where material form begins to take shape.
They chant glorias to God and remain forever in his presence.
They mete out divine justice and maintain the cosmic harmony of all universal laws.
