Come and study the Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast, The Whole Council of God.

Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies. And it's an Orthodox priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

So now we're going to read about what said carobine are

doing. Verse eight, the four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within.

And they do not rest day or night, saying,

holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,

who was and is and is to come.

That probably sounds familiar.

Right.

This is not the first place it appears in the Bible either.

This is based on what they're

singing in uh Isaiah's vision right so um and the reason they're covered with eyes right eyes are

talking about the power of vision the power of sight and awareness of what's going on on the earth, right?

If these are the four cardinal points, right?

They're sort of over the whole earth.

Verse nine, whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits

on the throne, who lives forever and ever.

The 24 elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. The 24 elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him

who lives forever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne saying, you are worthy,

O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they

exist and were created.

So there's sort of antiphonal worship going on, right, between the caravime and the humans, right? Who are in God's throne room, right, back and forth.
