Interesting......Perhaps it is representitive of the fleshly body of the
man Christ Jesus as standing beside a manifestation of the presence of God.
( a image representing him in power on the throne)
Since God is in essence everywhere, and if he is "that" big it would be
like putting your eye up aginst the wall...You can see the wall, but not
all of it.
The word says the heavens are his throne and the earth is his foot stool so
if you take it literally Jesus would be in physical stature a mighty big
man.
But God is a spirit.
and Moses asked to see God's glory and was only allowed to see his hinder
parts while being hidden in a cleft in the rock . 
There are a lot of "types" and "shadows" when you read the prophetic works
and there are many various opinions on each of them.
Jesus said I and my father are one.
when asked to show them the father He said Have I been with you so long and
yet you dont know me? (paraphrased).
While I would like to have knowledge of all the details...At this point I
turn it over to faith.
I believe that He IS and that He is a rewarder of them that dilligently
seek him.
Hope you can find a explanation that satisfies .
