Chapter 4

7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Revelation 4:7 KJV
SJR's Note
Jan 25
These four beasts are seraphim. In Isiah 6:2, the seraphim have six wings like they do here and, in Isiah 6:3, they cry "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts" like they do here as well. These four beasts have faces similar to the "living creatures" in Ezekiel 1:10 except that Ezekiel's "creatures" had four wings and John's "beasts" had six wings. Also, Ezekiel 10:3-9 describe "cherubim" and Ezekiel 10:20 makes it clear that these "cherubim" are the same "living creatures" from Ezekiel 1.
