The Tetramorph in the Old Testament
Read Ezekiel chapter 1. Here we see the image of God on his throne described much in the same way John explained it in Revelation chapter 4. Ezekiel describes an awesome and terrifying God on his throne, and preceding that throne are the four faced creatures foreshadowing the Christ.
Throughout the Bible we see that God is constant. He is the same today and yesterday and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8). Throughout the bible the image of Lion as king, Ox as servant and sacrifice, Man as the summary of human kind, and the Eagle as the height of spirituality is prevalent and consistent. It should be comforting to know that we can trust the Gospel (Good News) of a Christ who will never change his love for us!
