No chair was permitted in the Old Testament earthly sanctuary. God did not allow the Levitical priests to sit. He required them to remain on their feet continually. Why? Their work was not finished.

Two men went to the altar to pray. One was a Pharisee. He obeyed the Law meticulously.

“Two boys were playing in the snow one day, when one said to the other, ‘Let us see who can make the straightest path in the snow.’ His companion readily accepted the proposition, and they started. One boy fixed his eyes on a tree, and walked along without taking his eyes off the object selected. […]
