6 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
7 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!
