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!
