This symbol is a rabbit hole on its own. It's also related to the Old Testament messianic figure of the Branch, who is represented at different points as a man, God, a servant and a king. Seemingly contradictory terms that are fulfilled in Christ - and also in the faces of the angels. Man - man Eagle - God Ox - servant Lion - king. The suffering Servant in Isaiah is also presented as a branch. The 4 rivers in Eden connect into a single river... The more you look, the scarier it gets. It's very cool and deep!

The depth of the Bible is mind boggling.

I'm a Roman Catholic, and I love your channel!!

Love love your Chanel may god bless you for all the effort you are doing

This video, out of all that I’ve seen on this channel, has been incredible impactful. At one point I felt that the narration sat like a warm blanket around me, reminding me that God has always had a plan. 05:19

I’m an Anglican (Anglicostal 😂) and I have to say, I love your videos :)

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘👣✝️💯🙏

I was disappointed you didn’t go waaaay deeper & broader on this, young mystic

Thanks, I love the gospels. But some of the mysteries of Christ are difficult to understand. I hope that someday you'll cover some stories from the gospels. Thanks again. And have a nice day and tea 🫖🫖

Still.enjoying your channel!

I love your videos Thank you for explaining all of this awesome details ❤

Great video! 💙

Thank You for sharing 🙏 John talks a lot about the Light. The Eagle always soars up high in the clouds, the skies closer to the sun.

Thx guys. 👍🙏☦️

As aspirant to the catholic faith and my conversion to Byzantine Catholicism, I do indeed love your videos

Thank you. Wonderful...👏

Wonderful!!!

Wow, never thought CdawgVA would be teaching me about the Gospels! Jokes aside, great video please keep it up

I just searched "Bible symbology" and your video popped up. These are the same 4 animals depicted in ge same manner on the Wheel of Fortune. I definitely need to dive deeper.

Legendary

Four Living Creature that at the Throne of God

Great video! Im giving it a re-watch, cuz :D A friend mentioned when I talked about orthodoxy "Don't they worship the apostles or something?" "No, but.." I couldn't explain it :D This channel rocks! Jesus said to only say 'The Our Father' if we must pray.. I am leery of Mary veneration; she's amazing but like.. "mother of God" gives me pause; Jeremiah warned against praying to the queen of heaven.. Jesus saying "She is your mother now" before he gave up the ghost... and, idk. I'll pray on it.

Thank you for this! May I have your permission to link to this presentation for teaching a class, please, and for use in a term paper?

Going back even before Ezekiel's use of the lion, ox, man, eagle, we can see that these 4 symbols are found in the Mazzaroth as Job refers to or in modern times: the zodiac. Across from the Lion is the man and across from the ox is the "eagle" today the eagle is a scorpion, but in ancient times it was an eagle to many people. I don't disagree that the Gospels were connected to the four faces, but the reason that people connected them to the gospels is because they were first a part of the "Wheel" that Ezekiel refers to. The wheel or Mazzaroth/zodiac was the giant clock in the sky that kept time. In Genesis we are told that God created the stars for SIGNS, seasons, days and YEARS. This can be ONE year or many years, such as an "age". In Ezekiel's vision he saw the wheels within wheels up above just below the firmament and then the throne of God overtop of the firmament. He said that the spirit of God was in the wheels. In other words, TIME is controlled by GOD. He set the stars in the heaven for signs, seasons, days and years and this is HIS time timeclock for humanity. It is said that an "age" is somewhere between 1993--2160 years depending on how you count the signs. (because some of the ancients counted a 13th sign-Opheicus) A full cycle of the sun going through each "house" of the Mazzaroth one full revolution of ages was 25,920 years. Divide that by 12 you get 2160. Divide it by 13, you get 1993 years. And if you look at the history of the religion of the people who follow Yahweh, the God of Israel, you can see that if you go clockwise, you will see the OX (taurus) next to Ram (aeries) next to Fish (Pisces) next to the water bearer (Aquarius). If you look at history, you will see that ox/cow as the animal of that time of worship, followed by the ram/lamb (time of Moses and the law) followed by the fish (Fishers of men, Baptism, fih representing Christianity) and we are coming up to the water bearer who will pour "water" out over the earth. water in scripture is tied in with knowledge, wisdom, renewal, etc. And fish need water to live. It is not a coincidence that in exact order, we have seen the progression of the signs as representations of faith. The gospel and ancient history and even the old testament is very much written in the stars. Isaiah says "He sits above the circle of the earth". which I use to think referred to the earth being a CIRLCE (not a ball) but I have now realized that just like Ezekiel and John, Isaiah is referring to the CIRCLE of the Mazzaroth in the sky and his throne sits ABOVE it if you are looking up which is why Revelation 4 says that a "sea of glass" is before the throne-just like Ezekiel says that something like "crystal" (the firmament) is right above the creatures, but before the throne. So It's not that the sea of glass in Revelation 4 is in front of the throne, in front of God sitting there. John is referring to looking UP and seeing the creatures with the sea of glass just above them and then the throne above that. Therefore the "sea of glass" is BEFORE (when you look up) the throne.

1. Not enough people are watching this channel. 2. Too few are giving likes. There. I've said my piece.

The identification of the symbols of the Gospel is incorrect because it is based on inditions and inconsistent analogy!

I just came across the ex-orthodox community on reddit, and I'm struggling.

Matthew is the Lion John is the Eagle Luke is the Son of Man Mark is the OX

reminds me of the fixed signs of the zodiac

Golly Gosh! You tell us what tea you’re drinking but not where we can get it! 😕
