The Four Living Creatures of Ezekiel and Revelation


Ezekiel 1:4-15, (Revelation 4:6-11),  "I saw an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal and in the fire was what looked like Four Living Creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man. (In verse 10) Each had a face of a man. On the right side each had the face of a lion, the left side of their face was that of an ox. Each also had the face of an eagle. Such was their faces... They gleamed like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man.



"As I looked, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature. The structure of the wheels sparkled like chrysolite. Each wheel intersected a wheel. As they moved they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced. The wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. The rims were high and awesome and all four rims were full of eyes all around!"


Again, animals are mentioned AND in one of the most Holy witness of an unexplained sight of not just the Prophet Ezekiel, but also of John in Revelation! Our brains have the incapacity to truly realize what they saw. They themselves could only explain with a limited vocabulary! But, animals as well as man are mentioned! These four creatures continually worship GOD (Revelation 4:8)


"It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of a Holy GOD." (Hebrews 10:31) 



The judgment for those who have rejected GOD's mercy through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a great cause to worry; everlasting, eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire.



Accept the LORD Jesus, GOD in the Flesh, Who took upon Him all your sins. Ask His forgiveness of your sins and He will! Begin a new life and KNOW His blessings of eternal life for you with Him, all His saved of Israel, His Church, His angelic beings, and His animal kingdom for all eternity!
