Genesis Lecture 16 (Spiritual Being 5) Swahili
Bible passage: Genesis 1:1
“ In the beginning God created heavens and the earth”
Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord.
All saints from branch churches, and local sanctuaries. GCN viewers and all children of God who attend the worship online.
This is 16th Lecture on Genesis. In the last lecture, I introduced the general characteristics of cherubim,. They mainly escort and guard and they have an organized system with strict rules. That’s why God had cherubim guard the east of the Garden of Eden after Adam was driven away from there. The dragons and the 4 living creatures were the leaders, and they were always near the throne of God. However, the dragons stood against God along with Lucifer, and they became evil spirits.
Therefore, Now the 4 living creatures are the highest among the cherubim. In this lecture, I will explain their appearance and their duties. Since the Creation, there have been only a very few people who have clearly seen the appearance of the 4 living creatures. Among the forefathers of faith, only Ezekiel the Prophet and Apostle John saw them clearly, they both made a record of what they had seen. The 4 living creatures are so special. Not all of those who open spiritual eyes can see the 4 living creatures. Only when God allows, can they see the 4 living creatures. Moreover, those who are short of spiritual discernment cannot realize the 4 living creatures. Unlike general angels or heavenly host, the appearance of the 4 living creatures is very unique and looks scary.
Their general color is not bright, either; they have relatively dark and deep. They never smile and have a serious expression, making the viewer nervous. So, some people who see your creatures for the first time may mistake them for evil spirits. Since it is not easy at all to see the 4 living creatures, it's also hard to find those who can clearly explain what the 4 living creatures are.
The prophet Ezekiel saw and recorded the four living creatures, but he did not fully understand why they appeared that way. However, from the fact that Ezekiel the Prophet left a detailed account about the 4 living creatures, we can see he was a right man before God.
