Genesis 9:12-16 And Alahim said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: [13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. [14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: [15] And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. [16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between Alahim and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
From the first glance it seems that Alahim is telling Noah that he will never again destroy all flesh but if you microscope your examination of the verses and see that Alahim is telling Noah that the token of covenant would be between Him and Noah and every LIVING CREATURE with him(verse 12) and in verse 15 between Alahim and Noah and every living creature of all flesh. Alahim gave a sign of the covenant and the sign was the rainbow in the cloud.
Mr 12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush Alahim spake unto him, saying, I am the Alahim of Abraham, and the Alahim of Isaac, and the Alahim of Jacob?
27 He is not the Alahim of the dead, but the Alahim of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
Who are the living creatures? The elect of course. We can see spiritual imagery concerning the description of the living creatures in the book of Ezekiel and Revelation. Before we see the imagery let's also examine the RAINBOW passages which show Alahim's faithfulness to his covenant.
We see John describing Messiah in a spiritual imagery. The rainbow on his head shows that Messiah has got the covenant in his mind which he has with his elect always. A continuous/perpetual reminder of that covenant.
Re 10:1 ¶ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
We see a similar imagery when John describes Alahim's throne, he mentions that there was a RAINBOW roung about the throne.
Revelation 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Because of Alahim's covenant with LIVING CREATURES these will never be consumed by the wrath of Alahim.
Malachi 3:6 For I am the Yahuah , I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Alahim is mindful of his covenant which he made.
Now for the vision of the 4 LIVING CREATURES and the SPIRITUAL IMAGERY
Ezekiel 1:5-6, 10 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. [6] And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. [10] As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
This is an imagery of his elect which have the likeness of Messiah in them and the 4 faces are symbolic of the 4 gospels(the true gospel of Messiah) in all ages which goes out to the ends of the earth saving Alahim's remnant.
Ezekiel 1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
These living creatures were like burning coals of fire which is their cleansing in the refiners fire of Great tribulation.
Ge 15:17 ¶ And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
If you have read the post on Am I weaned or under suck we saw the 5 sacrifices which Alahim commanded Abraham to lay which point out to the sacrifice of Messiah and the burning lamp of fire between the divided pieces of the sacrifice shows the fire of Great Tribulation that Messiah himself went through and so do his people.
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Yahuah is my Alahim.
Now coming back to the throne where John saw was surrounded by the RAINBOW and in the midst and round the throne were the four beasts full of eyes before, behind and within and cry out day and night acknowledging the YAHUAHSHIP of CHRIST.
Revelation 4:6-8 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. [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. [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, Yahuah Alahim Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
John saw the same four living creatures of Ezekiel and describes them as four beasts around the throne within that covenant of RAINBOW
Re 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Alahim and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Revelation 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
Notice the words COME AND SEE preached by one of the four beasts which show elect have the understanding and invite others to come and see/understand the Revelation of Messiah.Also notice that John says these 4 beasts have eyes before and behind and within which is symbolic of complete revelation of who Messiah is.
The symbolism of the beasts full of eyes
Before: foresight, seeing and understanding prophecy
Behind: understand prophecy which was fulfilled
Within: DEEP THINGS OF GOD/hidden mysteries
They cry day and night and acknowledge Alahim who was who is and who is to come.
Who was who is and who is to come is in response to their understanding of who Alahim was (eyes behind) who is (eyes within) who is to come( eyes in the front). They have a complete picture and revelation of the mystery of Messiah. Who he was, how he came out of Alahim and went back to Alahim.
Ezekiel saw these living creatures bearing the glory of Alahim.
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of Alahim, and not of us.
There is so much spiritual imagery in Alahim's word. Finally the rainbow around the throne with the 4 living creatures or beasts within that rainbow is a beautiful picture of Alahim's covenant with his elect
Revelation 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Revelation 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Eze 1:26 ¶ And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the YAHUAH. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
From the first glance it seems that Alahim is telling Noah that he will never again destroy all flesh but if you microscope your examination of the verses and see that Alahim is telling Noah that the token of covenant would be between Him and Noah and every LIVING CREATURE with him(verse 12) and in verse 15 between Alahim and Noah and every living creature of all flesh.
