Revelation 5:6,7

Hello all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Revelation 4:6 "Before thr 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."

Glass was very rare in New Testament times, and crystal-clear glass was virtually impossible to find. The "sea of glass" highlights both the magnificence and holiness of God.

There is no sea in heaven, but the crystal pavement that serves as the floor of God's throne stretches out like a great, glistening sea.

Revelation 4:7 "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 beings" represent the attributes, qualities and character, of God. These creatures were not real animals. Like the cherubim, they guard God's throne, lead others in worship, and proclaim God's holiness.

God's attributes symbolized in the animal-like appearance of these four creatures are: lion=majesty and power; ox=faithfulness; human=intelligence; and the eagle =sovereignty. The Old Testament prophet Ezekiel saw four similar creatures in one of his visions (Ezekiel 1:5-10). Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
