Key Points

  • This paper aims to establish divine revelation as the central authority for knowledge coherence and structure within a theological framework.
  • Utilizes the Metadisciplinary Knowledge System-Thronaxis as a theoretical framework.
  • Analyzes biblical texts from both the Old and New Testament to support the argument.
  • Engages with the companion paper on Christ as the exegesis of God to further elucidate the argument.
  • Establishes the Throne-Axis of Revelation as a necessary foundational center for knowledge.
  • Confirms that God is the origin and ground of all epistemic understanding.
  • Demonstrates the transformative implications for theological methodology and interdisciplinary inquiry.

Abstract

Abstract The Metadisciplinary Knowledge System®-Thronaxis (MKS®-Thronaxis) positions divine self- disclosure as the ontological centre from which all knowledge derives its authority and coherence. This positioning is governed by the Non-Created-Centre Principle (NCCP), which requires that the interpretive centre of any epistemic hierarchy be itself uncreated. The present paper argues that MKS-Thronaxis locates this centre through the Throne-Axis of Revelation because the biblical witness consistently presents God as the origin, ground, and telos of knowledge, and because the incarnate Christ functions as the definitive exegesis of the otherwise invisible God. Drawing on the Old and New Testament witness, and engaging the Christological argument of the companion paper "Christ as the Exegesis of God" (MMasai, 2026a), the paper demonstrates that Axis I (Immediate Revelation) occupies its governing position not by stipulation but by theological and ontological necessity. The implications for epistemic architecture, theological method, and the governance of interdisciplinary inquiry are explored.
