Exegesis
The dative phrase tō theō tō kathēmenō epi tō thronō {τῷ θεῷ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ | tō theō tō kathēménō epí tō thrónō} forms the object of worship, with the articular participle kathēmenō modifying theos to mean “God who is sitting,” and the prepositional phrase epi tō thronō specifying His royal position.
In context — Revelation 19:4
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, “Amen, Hallelujah !”
