Found this in a mythology book and thought it would be interesting to share:
John is the person having this vision, wich is described along with another vision he had in The Book of Revelation. The author, John, wrote the book while in exile on the greek island of Patmos.
if anyone knows more on this subject please share
Quote:when john has his first sight of god in glory, he sees "four living creatures full of eyes" surrounding his throne. between them, the quartet symbolize the greater part of gods creation: one is like a lion, representing carnivores< another an ox for the herbivores. the third has the face of a man, indicating the human presence, while the fourth, an eagle, stands for the birds of the air. the eyes apparently indicate perpetual watchfulness.
other creatures are less benevolent. when the fifth angel blows his trumpet, he unleashes a plague of locusts upon non believers - "those of mankind who do not have the seal of god upon their foreheads". these heavenly locusts are unlike any seen before, for they appear "like horses arrayed for battle". they have human faces with women's hair but bear the tails of scorpions, equiped with venomous stings. once they have completed their ravages, the sixth angel's trumpet introduces fresh horrors in the form of a flood of armed horsemen riding on mounts that have heads like lions, breathing smoke and sulphur, and serpents for tails
