And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like a flying eagle.
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
-Revelation 4:8

Another incerdible peice! Gives me inspiration to keep going!
Thanks A lot Rick
I don't know how artist like you do what you do. Your drawing, if that's what to call it, is mind-boggling. I'm reading Ezekiel, which also describes these four creatures, and decided to do an image search. Yours is closest to what I imagine. Nothing friendly about it. Nothing static. A furious bodyguard, who takes pride in his duty like we don't even understand. As if God needed protection. And it isn't until Ezekiel sees the glory of the Lord that he falls on his face. So, apparently, that glory will belittle these creatures.
I'm so glad I found your image, and that you have the talent to create such art.
Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by Christopher. I intend on publishing a book on images inspired by scripture in the near future. This is the direction I want to go in. Not the traditional cute baby cherubs we are used to seeing but awe-inspiring creations of GOD.
