Flashes of lightning A cloud with lightning
Four living creatures Four living beings with human form
Had many eyes, each with six wings
Each had four faces and four wings
Revelation 4 – Ezekiel 1 John Saw Ezekiel Saw
The face of a man, a bull, an eagle, a lion
Each had the face of a lion, a man, eagle and bull
Seven lamps of fire Among them were fires darting around
The seven lamps of fire were the Seven Spirits Each creature followed a Spirit
There was something like a sea of crystal
There was a great expanse of something like crystal
Revelation 4 – Ezekiel 1 John Saw Ezekiel SawThere was a sound like thunder There was a loud rushing noise like
abundant waters
(In chapter 1 Jesus is described as being with eyes of fire and a face like the sun)
Above this was a throne with one who appeared like a man who looked like fire (God)
The Throne appeared of Jasper and Sardius The Throne appeared of Lapus Lazuli
A rainbow like an emerald was around the throne Radiance like a rainbow
Shown a scroll that could not be opened (5:1)
Given a scroll of lamentations to eat, sweet like honey
