correct.

The throne has always been ready and has always awaited the glory of the Lord. According to rabbinical Judaism, the throne of glory is, as we have seen, one of the seven things that YHVH created before the creation of the world. In the same sense, in Christian theology the throne has been ready for all eternity because the glory of God is co-eternal with it. The empty throne is not, therefore, a symbol of regality but of glory. Glory precedes the creation of the world and survives its end. The throne is empty not only because glory, though coinciding with the divine essence is not identified with it, but also because it is in its innermost self-inoperativity and sabbatism. The void is the sovereign figure of glory.

The apparatus of glory finds its perfect cipher in the majesty of the empty throne. Its purpose is to capture within the governmental machine that unthinkable inoperativity—making it its internal motor—that constitutes the ultimate mystery of divinity. And glory is as much the objective glory that exhibits the inoperativity of the divinity, as it is the glorification in which human inoperativity celebrates its eternal Sabbath.

you got it all figured out kid

i'm re-reading the sickness unto death now. it's as fascinating as the last time, but he periodically takes on these unexplained and unjustified assumptions that make zero sense stylistically or logically and make the whole later 2/3 or so useless. his earlier stuff is still more practically applicable, and therefore more interesting, even though the anti-climacus stuff is supposed to be some sort of culmination.

kierkegaards probably smarter than you

so what

lessons is always posting about how he doesnt understand things and consequently judging those things as stupid. this is a sign of stunted growth and a poor, arrogant egotism. maybe a text from a huge figure in western philosophy isnt something you can just digest on a once or twice pass through, and maybe not understanding something that is widely recognized as great at first glance is a sign of its value and complexity (for if it was so easily accessible then that may be a reflection on the shallowness of its insight) and not uselessness. maybe if he would elaborate on what exactly he's talking about his comment would be something more than a joke
