啟示錄4:6-7

4:6 寶座前好像一個玻璃海，如同水晶。寶座中和寶座周圍有四個活物，前後遍體都滿了眼睛。

4:7 第一個活物像獅子，第二個像牛犢，第三個臉面像人，第四個像飛鷹。

and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.      

And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.

    這是上帝寶座前的描述，尤其是說到四活物，讓人聯想到舊約以西結書的描述，使人感受到上帝的寶座，的確是使徒約翰真真看見，不是他自己所捏造的敘述。

    也因此，約翰的啟示是可信的，的確是從上帝來的！
