THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS
Stephen N. Haskell
“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.
like unto crystal.” “And in the midst of the
throne, and round about the throne, were four
beasts [or living creatures] full of eyes before
and behind.”
These four living creatures represent four
phases of the character of God. The first was
like a lion, the second like a calf, or an ox, as
Ezekiel says, the third had the face of a man,
and the fourth was like a flying eagle. This
again establishes the fact that when the plan
of redemption was laid, all heaven was in
unison with the plan. Ezekiel and John, one
before Christ’s advent, the other after,
describe the same thing, showing that the New
Testament is but the unfolding of the Old.
