What do the four living creatures in Revelation and Ezekiel represent?
The four living creatures seen by Ezekiel and John are angelic beings that depict one of the four attributes of Christ as presented in the Gospels. They are not contradictory but part of Scripture's unified, finely tuned revelation of the Son of Man and Son of God.
Les explains that the four living creatures—whether Ezekiel's angelic creatures or the ones John sees in Revelation—are living creatures that depict one of the four attributes of Christ as seen in the Gospels. He connects this to the Gospels' presentation of Christ as the Son of Man (His humanity) and the Son of God (His deity). In Revelation 4:8, these creatures have six wings, are full of eyes within, and rest not day or night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." Les uses this to show Scripture is finely tuned and unified, not full of contradictions.
