Subject: WHy four gospels not one? |
Bible Note: All of the gospels are referred to in the OT and in Revelation. By their being mentioned as such I would think that God sought to give addition "proofs" of their inspirations. Ezekiel 1:5-10 (NASB) And within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form. [6] Each of them had four faces and four wings. [7] And their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf's hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze. [8] Under their wings on their four sides were human hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them, [9] their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward. [10] As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man, all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle. Rev. 4:7 (NASB) And the first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. All of this is represented by the four gospels. |
