Who are these four "living creatures"? There are beings in heaven which human language finds difficult to describe. Spacecraft send pictures from Mars or Saturn that modern astronomers cannot describe. If our own planets present such sights, how much more could John see sights in heaven that he could not describe? These living creatures are very likely the same groups of angels which prophets of God saw in vision in the Old Testament. Isaiah saw seraphims who "each one had six wings," and who cried one to another, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts" (Isaiah 6:3). Ezekiel saw the "cherubims," which were four in number (Ezekiel 10:1, 8-22). They also "were full of eyes all around" and had "four faces." Zechariah also saw "four chariots" which "are the four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth" (Zechariah 6:1-5). Always the prophet finds it hard to describe what he saw in vision.
