Revelation 4:6-7

And in front of the throne there was also what looked like a transparent glassy sea, as if of crystal. And around the throne, in the center at each side of the throne, were four living creatures (beings) who were full of eyes in front and behind [with intelligence as to what is before and at the rear of them].

·         The Truth is that our Father sees everything, past, present, and future. In prophesy the word sea is used by God to represent a group of people on the earth and here we see that the sea is transparent, so we are shown that it is all crystal clear to our Father. There is nothing that we do or think that is hid from our Father. 

·         For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. Colossians 1:16

·         Eyes in prophecy can represent Divine Intelligence. These creatures look like 3 different types of animals and a man so we are shown that our Father knows and is in control of every living thing. The creatures have wings, so they are fast and the wings are full of eyes, so they see all, showing us that our Father knows everything about everything. We can have peace that our Father knows about everything, even before it happens.

·         All things exist by our Father and for Him and through Him.

·         We are told that our Father even knows when a sparrow dies. He doesn’t just know about it, He has to allow it.

·         Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:29-30
The first living creature (being) was like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature [was] like a flying eagle.
·        These four creatures live to serve our Father; which means they live to serve the Kingdom of our Father, the Kingdom which we are now part of! They see everything and all day long they acknowledge that God is right. These creatures may be symbolic, representing man, domesticated animals, wild animals, and the birds or they may be real beings and this is just how our Father made them. Look at the world and the animals that God has created down here, our Father is very imaginative. The important thing for us to understand is that they see everything that is going on. Our Father knows completely where we are, what is going on, and He is in total control. He will never allow anything to happen to us that He cannot handle through us.

·         But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! 2 Corinthians 12:9 

·         Our Father sees everything that is coming and He sees it before it was even created. Because the Truth is for anything to exist, our Father had to first create it! All things exist for and by our Father, Colossians 1:16-17.

·         All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. John 1:3

·         We have our Father's complete attention and complete power, even in our weaknesses, especially in our weakness! There is nothing that surprises our Father. This is why I always marvel at those who teach that we can lose our salvation. Salvation is us being chosen by God and grafted into Him through Jesus. Salvation is becoming one with our Father. So if we could walk away, then it means that we would have had to fool our Father to start with. Which means He doesn’t see everything and all of these verses are wrong? That isn’t right! The Truth that sets us free is that if someone is truly saved, they are saved forever, we cannot fool God, and our Father isn’t allowing the unsaved to become one with Jesus, Romans 11:29!
