Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back were around the throne on each side. The first living creature was like a lion; the second living creature was like an ox; the third living creature had a face like a man; and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

After these things This phrase often introduces a new vision (e.g., Rev 7:1, 9). Here, “these things” refer to the seven letters to the seven churches, as contained in chapters two and three (cf. Rev 1:19). … I looked and behold John did not look with his literal eyes, but in a vision. … a door standing open in heaven In his mind, John is no longer...
Immediately I was in the Spirit John does not enter heaven physically; he is carried in vision by the Spirit into the heavenly places. In Revelation, John goes “in the Spirit” four times. The first was in Revelation 1:10, where he encountered the glorified Jesus. The second is here. The third and fourth are in Revelation 17:3 and 21:10. Of the four...
And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance Revelation 1 describes Jesus in much detail (Rev 1:13-18) but there is a vagueness in this description of God. Other throne visions are more specific: 1. 1.1. 1.1.1. 1.1.1.1. In Ezekiel 1:26-27, the one sitting on the throne has a human appearance. From the waist up, He look...
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads. Like the rainbow in the previous verse, the 24 elders are “around the throne,” which should be taken in a horizontal sense. If the rainbow is like a halo horizontally around the area, the 24...
Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. This language builds on Old Testament ‘theophanies’: 1. 1.1. 1.1.1. 1.1.1.1. The original theophany was on Mount Sinai (Exo 19:16-20). 1.1.1.2. In the first chapter of Ezekiel, the appearance of God also included lightning and loud noises (Ezek 1:13, 24). This series of ...
and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; It is not a real sea of glass; it is “something LIKE a sea of glass.” John is doing his best to describe his vision of heavenly in human terms. Glass and glass-blowing were known to the ancients but the ancient glass was often coarse and semi-opaque. In contrast, the refer...
4:7 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. These features indicate endurance, perseverance, strength, and speed. Relative to the animals, the “face like a man” implies intelligence. 4:8 And the four living creatur...
A throne says, “I can do whatever I want, because I rule.” A promise says, “I will fulfill this word to you, and I cannot do otherwise.” A rainbow around the throne is a remarkable thing, showing that God will always limit Himself by His own promises.
Instantly John saw “a throne … set in heaven” (v. 2). Central to everything happening in chapters 4 and 5 is God’s throne. What the apostle saw is organized around four prepositional phrases: “on the throne” (v. 2); “round about the throne” (vv. 3–4); “out of the throne” (v. 5); and “before the throne” (v. 6). John ...
The Throne Room of Heaven. 4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standingopen in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”.
