This podcast explains the symbolic images used by John to describe paradise in heaven in Revelation 4:6-8. These images include the four beasts who represent all of creation. They are full of eyes before and behind representing their intelligence and omniscience to see things past, present, and future. The beasts (or living creatures more accurately) have symbolic faces of a lion, a calf, a man, and a flying eagle. Their power of movement and ability to carry out the works of God was represented by the six wings on each image. The beasts were also full of eyes within representing their power to discern their own eternal destiny.
