The Living Creatures: Rev 4v6,8,9, 5v6,14, 6v1,3,5,7, 7v11 14v3, 15v7, 19v4
The word “beasts,”“zoa,” should be translated, “creatures full of life,” and is in stark contrast to “the Beast,” “to therion,” a fierce wild animal, which describes Antichrist in Rev 11v7, 13v1. etc.. See Matt 7v15. The living creatures of Rev 4 have six wings like the Seraphim of Isaiah 6, and as “Seraphim,” means “burning ones;” so “burning with heavenly energy,” is probably the same as, “creatures full of life.” The Cherubim of Ezek 1 and 10, are called living creatures, but they have only four wings. Another difference between the living creatures of Revelation and Ezekiel, is that in Revelation each living creature has only one face, whereas in Ezekiel each living creature has all four faces. The Seraphim of Isaiah 6 are above the throne, the cherubim of Ezek 1 and 10 are below the throne and move it. Ezek 1v12,19-21,26. The living creatures of Revelation have no rest, they praise God day and night, what a joyful experience, what glorious unrest.
Yahweh Shalom...
