The 4 living creatures of Revelation 4 and Ezekiel 1 have the faces of the 4 banners the tribes of Israel were under in the wilderness. So I thought what Jacob said to each son( Gen 48-49) under that banner might go together some how. So I put the seal that was opened and the creature together. I know it does not seem to mean any thing but just thought someone might see something.
Numbers 2
Judah –the lion under this banner first seal white horse
Judah – Praise - The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Issachar –Wages /reward -between two burdens:
“And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.”
Zebulun – Dwell - shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships
Ephraim – OX 2nd seal red horse
Ephraim – Fruitful -he will be great and his descendants will become a group of nations."
Manasseh - causing to forget. - He too will become a people, and he too will become great.
Benjamin – son of my right hand - shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.”

Reuban – the man - 3rd seal black horse
Reuban – see a son - Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel
Simeon- hated / hearing -instruments of cruelty -I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.”
Gad – fortunate - a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last

Dan –Eagle- 4th seal pale horse
Dan – Vindicated or judge- shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
“I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.”

Asher – Happy -his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.”
Naphtali – Prevailed - Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.”
