Ezek 1:4-23) 4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out

of the north-- an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. 10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.

15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. 19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. 23 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body.

4 Living Creatures in the Circles of Chronology

As amazing as the chronology patterns are by themselves, there is another aspect to them, which is so amazing, that there is no doubt that the patterns are from God. If you examine the drawing on on the opposite page, you will find the pattern of 1845 yr circles repeated 4 times. By shading in different portions of the circles, its possible to see a graphical representation of Ezekiels vision of 4 living creatures or Cherubs. This graphical representation, is not what Ezekiel saw, since he saw the vision of actual living creatures. Nevertheless, we will find that it matches his description exactly, with the correct number of Cherubs, wings, wheels within wheels, eyes in the wheels etc.

A Pair of Wings
If you examine pattern number 1, you will see that the upper half of the shaded in portion, looks like the pair of wings on the right. We also find a second pair of wings, located upside down, under the first pair, making 4 wings. That matches Ezekiel's description, in that each living creature had four wings! Ez 1:6, 10:21

A Pair of Wings

A Wheel Within a Wheel

In Ezekiel 1:15, it says that there was a wheel within a wheel, beside each living creature, and this is what we see represented on the next page. Each shaded in living creature, has 4 wings and a centrally located, wheel within a wheel, like the one to the right on this page.

4 Cherubim
According to Ezekiel, there were only 4 Cherubim, and if you look at the 4 shaded in portions on the next page, you will find 4, and only 4,Cherubim. As each one is shaded in, the next one begins 1 space to the right, until we reach the 4 th Cherub. At the fourth Cherub, there are no more spaces to the right, so there is room for only four Cherubs and no more!

Touching or Overlapping Wings

If we were to put all four Cherubs as shown on the next page, on top of each other, we would see that the wings would be touching and overlapping each other just as is described in Ezekiel1:9.

WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL

FOUR LIVING CREATURES OR CHERUBIMS EZK 1:5, 10:9

PAGE 11

The Four Cherubim, had 4 wings, 4 Faces and a Wheel Within a Wheel
[ Ezk 1:6, 9, 10, 14-20 and Ezk 10:9-14, 21 ]. In chapter one, the faces are listed as the face of a Man and a Lion on the right, and as an Ox and an Eagle, on the left. In chapter 10, the description is different, in that it says the first face was a Cherub, the second a Man, the third a Lion, and the fourth an Eagle. Note that they are the same

faces as chapter 1, except that in chapter 10, the Ox becomes a Cherub! This change shows a further progression in Gods plan, after which Jesus has paid the ransom price, and has become a Cherub, (new creature). These diagrams are two dimensional, so we cant see it, but its likely that the Cherubs were arranged in a circular pattern, like a torus, (doughnut shape), about the center or throne. This is also true of the two other charts, (12602520, and the 2500), found later in the booklet.
