Glimpse of Heaven

Scripture

Revelation 4

In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back. 7 The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. 8 Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—
the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”

9 Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever), 10 the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say,

11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power.
For you created all things,
and they exist because you created what you pleased.”

Ezekiel 10

9 I looked, and each of the four cherubim had a wheel beside him, and the wheels sparkled like beryl. 10 All four wheels looked alike and were made the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it. 11 The cherubim could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved. They went straight in the direction they faced, never turning aside. 12 Both the cherubim and the wheels were covered with eyes. The cherubim had eyes all over their bodies, including their hands, their backs, and their wings. 13 I heard someone refer to the wheels as “the whirling wheels.” 14 Each of the four cherubim had four faces: the first was the face of an ox, the second was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.

Observation

The cherubim that Ezekiel saw in his vision were the same cherubim that John saw in his vision! What would these cherubim look like if someone were to be able to draw them from the description given to us from these two writers? I am going to do a google search and see what I find. If I find something I will show you right here on this page!

They worship God continuously saying, ““Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”
My mind probably works too hard on things like this, but don’t you think cherubim existed before the world was created? If so then the ox, the lion, the eagle, and man were already important to God before He ever created anything here on earth.

Application

I will praise God for who He is and I will thank Him for all that He has done for me.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For You created all things, and they exist because You created what You pleased.” I exist because You created what You pleased. I don’t understand everything that I read today in Ezekiel and Revelation, I just can’t comprehend it all, but I am thankful that You included me in on all of this and I am just glad to be one of Yours. Thank You that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
