Hi RJ2 (Bob)....You have inspired me in the research of the four living creatures both in Ezekiel and in Revelation 4.  They had to be connected to the redeemed (Rev.5:9)....both in the OT and the NT because I know about types and shadows.  Also, it was Marilyn Agee that stressed that things are "double to that which is"...NT reveals OT truths.  That has led me to discover so much, and I am so grateful to her.  And I knew there was the connection between the Ezekiel "vision" and Revelation 4, so I searched.  What I found has humbled me beyond belief!!  And the absolute truth of this came to me out of the past....1764.

When you read this, and it is quite long, you will totally understand who are the Cherubim, Seraphim, and the Four Beasts (or living creatures)...and you will also understand the "flaming sword" placed to keep the way of the Tree of Life in Genesis 3:24.....

This is entitled: ! ; Doctrine of the Cherubim Opened and Explained

A Sermon at the Ordination of the Reverend Mr. John Davies, at Waltham Abbey

Preached August 15, 1764
