Bible Question: WHO ARE THE 4 CREATURES |
Bible Answer: Greetings tamisk, these 4 living creatures are the same living creatures referred to in Ez 1:5. They are angels, most likely the cherubs mentioned in Ez 10:1-22. The number 4 may represent the 4 corners of the earth implying that God's angels execute His commands everywhere. The different faces represent different aspects of Christ. The lion equals strength (lion of Judah), the ox diligent service (Christ as the servant), the human intelligence (perfect human) and the eagle divinity (Christ as the Son of God). hope this helps, prayon |
