WORDs of Saving Grace - four living creatures
Revelation 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
The book of the Revelation is full of symbolism and metaphores. So it is important to read (Revelation 1:3) and study the Revelation of Jesus Christ (as it is all scriptures) in the context of other scriptures (1 Corinthians 2:13).
We see a similar vision through the prophet Isaiah where the seraphim depict the same worship in Isaiah 6:2. And we can discern their worship in the description of this vision.
Two wings to cover their faces in reverance to the LORD's glory (Luke 18:13).
Two wings to cover their feet (Jeremiah 14:10) of their sinfulness.
Two wings ready to fly and spread the gospel (Revelation 14:6, Isaiah 6:8).
They are full of eyes to seek out God's Word in their own lives and for the love of those around them day and night (Joshua 1:8, Psalms 1:2, James 1:25)
They worship God in three persons; our Holy Father (John 17:11), the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30), and the Holy Son (Luke 1:35).
They worship our same Lord and savior Jesus Christ who's gospel is the same today, yesteday and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3 ...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
