<TITLE>30. Par 266-270</TITLE>L-266 Now, we're going to look in a few minutes... And remember this 7th verse here, now look what they looked like over here in the 7th verse of the same chapter of Revelations the 4.
And the first beast was like a lion,... the second beast was like a calf,... the third beast was a face... had... of a man, and the four beasts were like flying eagles... the fourth beast... like a flying eagle.
Now, when Ezekiel saw the glory of God, he saw the same thing that John saw. You remember last Sunday how we got the Glory of God, and got the picture where He had it taken with us? Remember that? The Glory of God, the same thing Ezekiel saw, same thing John saw, here It is today, makes Jesus Christ the same in Ezekiel's time, same thing was here on earth, the same God is here with us today: same yesterday, today, and forever; He that Was, Which Is, and Shall Come; the entrance to the soul, body, and spirit; the brazen sea (the Word), the Sanctifier of our soul, and the Filler with the Holy Ghost. The same thing (See?), just the same...

L-268 Now, watch this. All right.
... and the spirit... wherever they went now to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
They couldn't turn. If they was going this way, it was going like a man; going this way was going like an eagle; going this way was going like an ox; going this way they was going like a lion. They couldn't go backward. They had to go forward everywhere they went, each one of the beasts. Now, what does a "beast" mean in the Bible? "power." All right, means "a power"...

L-270 Now...
As for the likeness of the living creatures, and their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like of the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth Light... (That's God. From the fire went Light, the--not cosmic light now, but eternal Light.)
And the living creatures ran and turned... (Let's see.)... the living creatures ran and returned, and as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Now, as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
The appearance of the wheels... their work was like unto... colour of... beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was... it was a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
"What's the symbol here, Brother Branham? What is it?" It means that these guards--these guards was God's ark... They were in journey, rolling on wheels when Ezekiel saw them; but when John saw them, they'd already come into their right position in heaven. The ark of God was on earth, rolling on wheels, as they took it from place to place, meant it was in travel; they took it all the way up through the wilderness and all the way into the temple and so forth; but now it's received up, 'cause the church age is over, and it's received up into glory. See? It's stationary now in heaven with all the Angels and things around it. We find them after while taking off their crowns, and falling on their faces, and giving glory to Him. See? It was God's guards of the temple--of the ark.
