1.63. THE LIVING CREATURES

THE LIVING CREATURES

On this particular trip to the throne of God, I saw the four living creatures that were before the throne of God. These creatures I saw around the throne were the ones written about in the Word of God. All of the heavenly creatures had large eyes, some in the front and some in the back. They could see in the front of them and behind them. They were very large and unlike anything I have ever seen on earth. Each of them had six wings. One had the face of a lion. The second had a face like a calf. The third living creature had a face like a man. Imagine, if you can, a very tall creature with six wings. It has the face of a man. The fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. All of these fascinating creatures were constantly crying out, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty." Since I had never before seen any creature that resembled them in appearance, they looked very strange to me. I knew, however, that God had created these holy creatures in heaven. I praise God for His mighty acts and His mighty power. God is an awesome God! As I watched these creatures, they began to praise and wor ship God Almighty. I want you to understand that after I saw the heavenly creatures of God in my vision, I made a study about them and discovered John’s amazing description of what I had witnessed in the book of Revelation. Here is how John de scribed them:

Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
(Revelation 4:6-8)
