Creatures Part 1 of 3 Transcript made from the video's YouTube captions. 1 amen now brothers and sisters this picture that you see before you it looks like a strange picture and indeed it is it is a picture of what the Bible calls the four living creatures now before I get started tonight I know many of you have come to find out who these living creatures are and tonight the 24 Elders you've come to learn about them but I have to tell you if you think that one night that I can get to that place you're mistaken I'm going to have tonight to build a foundation about these Visions in order for me to teach them over the next 2 several weeks to you we are entering the Book of Revelation tonight to understand it now I want to talk to you about two groups of people the first group of people is carnal minded people they look at these four creatures and they see a lion a man an eagle and an ox but John said I was in the spirit when I saw these things sister until you get in the spirit you will see a lion a man man an eagle and ox but when you get in the spirit you see what John saw amen so tonight if his spirit in his vision came in the spirit you can only understand 3 what he saw by the spirit that's why if you're going to hear men teach you about the Book of Revelation but they do not have the Holy Ghost you're going to hear a bunch of carnal teaching you're going to hear a bunch of carnal assumptions so that listen Saints stay with me this is life tonight get your mind in the spirit because I know many of you think you you might think you know where I'm going but you don't because I've g into the spirit to find out the meaning of these creatures and no it's not Russia no it's not China no it's not any of those things that the 4 caral Mind comes up with so if you don't get a spirit mind you will get lost in the Book of Revelation do you know the Book of Revelation is not for the world the Bible said it's for the Overcomers amen everybody's not meant to understand this book mother stth not everybody's meant to know it but I'm looking at people tonight in the seaside building of w Mississippi that's been called to understand the mysteries of God not because you're better than anybody but because you have a destiny different from everybody and youve got to learn that tonight now before I go any further I have failed in one area of my teaching 5 I have failed over the last 3 years you have learned about the Sabbath and you have learned about the holy days and you have learned the names and all of these things but there is an area that I have failed to I hit a brick wall every time I go there and even among some of you if you don't get the revelation of the Throne of God you're not going to understand what your calling is why do I say it like that brother M we know what the Throne of God is no you don't if you did and if your neighbors knew and if your friends 6 knew they would understand what their Destiny is tonight this teaching is not about for living creatures he it's about you thank you sir brother how does this Vision apply of my life it is your life this is a picture of your life and what you are called unto every one of you in this room you have a Destiny and I'm going to tell you what it's not it's not heaven thank you sir turn to your neighbor and say it's the throne it's the throne do you know that y you had never promised heaven to anybody but he did say you will sit with me in my 7 Throne he promised the throne to you and yet you are not acting like you understand anything about the throne everywhere I go to church they're up preaching about if I can just you know I heard people tell me when I preach about ruling and reigning you know what they say you know what they say oh brother God I don't care about that if I can just make it in the pr Gates I'll be I'll be happy you have just slapped God in his face brother I don't want to rule and rain I just want to make Heaven my home you know what you're telling me 8 you're telling me you know nothing about the four living creatures that's right do you know your your destiny is not heaven Joshua has called you to something Beyond Eternal retirement he has called you to an eternal position and until you learn that position you will always be lost in the calling of your life and tonight we're going to discover these four living creatures why are they such a mystery to us for thousands of years the images of the four living creatures and the 24 Elders have held the church in Conant the so much so that if you go and ask anybody brother what is the four living 9 creatures you know what your answer is going to be we don't need to go there brother that's not for us to understand why because Satan has Den the plan he's created an alternative gospel it's a gospel about heaven rather than the throne God oh yeah if you don't start to understand why you got to keep the Sabbath it's not just to keep the Sabbath but you've got to come into the throne Zone where you begin to understand what's going to get you to the throne now you know why I'm speak you know about preaching about baptism of the Holy Ghost everybody in here and every Church be going but when I start 10 talking like this I see your lost looks I see when people like what is he talking about because we have been so programmed my calling is to get you to unlearn everything you ever learned and that's the hardest job you'll ever have in your life when I look at some of you and I begin to teach and I look at people I see the hard you want you want to have have my job trying to get everybody to unlearn everything you ever learn yes sir and let the Holy Ghost teach us sir why because ladies and gentlemen this mystery that everybody have ever question how ever 11 heard a sermon preached on the 24 Elders then now who else has heard a sermon preached on the four living creatures why because these Mysteries are reserved for your day you are the final Church age amen you are the final Harvest that is coming together now see and now these Mysteries are being unfolded to us it is impossible to understand the reason we can't understand the mystery is this it's impossible to understand the Harvest which is what the Book of Revelation is see when you get to the Book of Revelation that is the culmination of the whole Bible it's the Harvest it it's the finality of all of the Holy R when you 12 get to Revelation you've arrived at the Harvest of the whole book so the reason we don't understand Revelation is because your pastors and your leaders in times past have kept you out of the very seed bed of the Harvest which is the Old Testament every symbol in the Book of Revelation is in the Old Testament but because we've been taught that we don't need the Old Testament we get the Revelation and we're dumfounded but remember you cannot understand the Harvest till you understand the sea then from which the Harvest comes the Old Testament so if I was going to read the back of the last chapter of a book I 13 wouldn't want understand it if I didn't read the whole plot yes sir yet we read the New Testament without reading the old test and so when we get to Revelation we're like what you got to learn your whole Bible from front to back John introduces the New Testament Church to Old Testament understanding therefore if you have believed the mindset of the modern church that Shields you from the Old Testament understanding then perfectly well would it make sense that you're going to be lost in the Book of Revelation the Old Testament was all about natural physical Earthly types and shadows of kingship and priesthood remember what I just said those two 14 words kingship and priesthood throughout the entire Old Testament you're going to find Kings that's right and priest the whole book Kings and priest so therefore when you get to the Book of Revelation now there was no Kings and Priests in the New Testament so if allent reads the New Testament when you get the Revelation you see Kings and Priests and you're like what are those well you got to go back to the Sea bed to get the understanding now the Kings and Priests set on physical Thrones listen I want you to understand kings were not the only ones that set on Thrones the priest did as 15 well that's why there's a seat of Moses to this day the Throne of the priesthood tonight we're going to discuss two sets of Thrones Kings and preach now this they sat on physical Thrones and offered animal sacrifices upon gravs and altars and temples made with hands but now John in the Book of Revelation is Raising this kingship and this priesthood into a higher spiritual dominion and announces to the saints that Christ now have made us Kings and Priests unto God and his father with this simple beginning John does what he will do constantly throughout the Book of Revelation he will refer to all Old Testament terminology within the context 16 of a new testament spiritual reality now I know that may look like just words to you but if you'll grasp what I just read to you you'll begin to understand what I'm going and what we're going to teach you tonight now more than 270 direct quotes in the Book of Revelation comes from the Old Testament and they're found in the did you know that 270 direct quotations or Expressions come from the Old Testament so no wonder that everybody's lost cuz what does the church say the Old Testament is not for us today amen we don't need it anymore amen uh therefore when we get this is 17 Satan's tactic to get us confused but rooted in the fertile soil of the Old Testament it's like a tree yielding the rich fruit of the inspiration of the ages because the whole Bible is a prophecy and a picture of Christ can you say amen amen therefore this book drawing its nurture from the prophets of old and showing forth the reality to which they pointed do you understand that see everything in the Old Testament was pointing to yesu and his brothers everything could be nothing else but the revelation of Jesus Christ Yeshua hamashiach Hallelujah do you know when the Bible starts and when Revelation starts you know the first thing it says 18 the Revelation the revelation of Yeshua the whole book is not about physical things every bit of it is about a man oh yes and tonight you're going to see that as you come up a little higher the books of Genesis and exodus especially together with portions from Psalms and the prophets form the seed bed for the whole word of God that's why when you get in the book of in the New Testament you get your Doctrine all messed up why because you don't know the old for example you didn't know you were Israel you thought you was the church see you have to go back to get it right 19 the deepest book in the Bible theologically is the Book of Revelation because in it we see the Harvest we see the fullness we see the consummation of every seed planted in the Old Testament now it's interesting to note that Genesis begins with a garden and the Book of Revelation ends with a garden called The Paradise of Yahweh can I get an amen amen in the Book of Genesis there's a river flowing out of Eden and in the Book of Revelation there's a river flowing amen I want to help you tonight I want you to put the whole Bible together see in the Book of Genesis there's gold 20 in the land and in the Book of Revelation there's gold in the city in the Book of Revelation the tree of life is in the midst of the garden while in the Book of Revelation the tree of life is growing in the midst of the street and on either side of the river in the city and then there is uh all of these stones in the Book of Genesis are also in the Book of Revelation in the Book of Genesis God walks in the garden and in the Book of Revelation Yahweh dwells in the city do you my God I want to help you understand your 21 Bible do you see that Genesis and Revelation are twins it is the beginning and the end that is why Yahweh put the Bible the way he did the revelation of Yeshua is the entire message of the Bible sir the psalmist David by the spirit of Prophecy wrote in the volume of the book it is written of me the whole Bible is about me Yesa the whole Bible on then Jesus said to his disciples in Luke 2444 he said these are the words which I spake unto you that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the 22 Psalms concerning who me somebody say it's all about him it's all about him then opened he their understanding do you see that even his disciples couldn't understand unless he open their understanding tonight you're here for him to open open your understanding it's a Divine miracle that people will hate you for when you understand yes sir how many tonight want to understand amen hallelujah thank you Father Hallelujah the Revelation that meets its acne or its culmination its fullness its consummation in the Book of Revelation given to John on the aisle of patness all the imagery and the typology in the Book of Revelation involves what the 23 first thing we see is what a temple right where did we see a temple in the Old Testament right what else does it involve the Ark of the test testimony that was the Ark of the Covenant right what else you find a throne yeah you find one in the Old Testament too and then you find a holy place you find altars you find offerings incense fire seals wheat barley horses trumpets Wars are get tribes of Israel Jerusalem Mount Zion the lamb the living creatures the lion the ox the man the eagle the eyeses the wings the robes the heart the vows and so on they all are found in the Old 24 Testament every one of those are so do you see you can't understand these if you go to a modern Church they won't let you because they keep you out of Genesis they keep you out of the law they keep you out of the temple and the sacrifices and without knowing that you can't know this they all have their fulfillment in Christ they are fulfilled in him now notice what the angel told John the Revelator the first thing he told him was come up a little higher he said John come up here I want you to see something that you can't see down there he you 25 can't see this in the Baptist Church you can't see I a going to start nameing church but you can't see this down there among the chickens I know you going to see down there it's John 316 and you'll mess it up too you you got to come up a little higher because I'm to reveal to you what you've been seeing but you wasn't seeing there's a place in God where you can go Beyond seeing and actually see hallelujah hallelujah you will not be able to read this book on the Earthly plane you can't do it the entire book is centered around the throne I want to tell you tonight why 26 you do not understand the Book of Revelation because no one's ever taught you about the throne when we talk about The Throne of God what comes to our mind let's talk about it we see a great big throne with a big rainbow around it we see fire we see yah sitting on that Throne yua at his right hand sorry all you wonderous Folk oh that's what the doctor said right at his right hand anyway so we see and we know I tell be that just a minute I'll edit that out but when we see the throne we see it as a so you know I always grew 27 up believing that when we got to heaven we was pretty much going to camp out around the throne y'all make room for me at the throne I'm going to come well baby there's going to be billions of people so we better have a lot of space that room see so my point is your mind is messed up on the throne because here's why everything in the Book of Revelation is symbology when we say that the Queen of England sits on the throne of England you know she don't sit on a throne amen one time a year when she opens parl but she's supp to time spend her time 28 sitting on the Tet not the throne right so amen so when we say that the queen is on the throne she's not on the throne guess what she's governing that's right Authority she's covering listen to me if you've not read the Dream Team you don't understand what I'm talking about The Throne always symbolizes what auth Authority and government so when we get to the Book of Revelation and we see Yahweh sitting on the thr do you really believe that for 20 quillion years Yahweh had getting off the throne he just going to sit on the throne great all of you ones worship me no he's not come on he's not he's not 29 stuck on his C amen he don't meet zombies around the throne he's got sarim and cherubim that do that yes sir see but when we understand what he's doing on the throne then we'll understand that simply means John saw him with all authority governing over a kingdom and a government so you must understand the throne the reason we don't understand the living creatures and the 24 Elders because they are around the throne and because we don't understand the throne we don't understand what's happening around the throne you your light just came on I saw it I love when we start getting it in the spirit see it's all 30 about how the whole book of Revelation is around the throne what is the throne the symbol of always government all other things in the Book of Revelation are related to the throne remember that this Throne is the very center of existence not the physiographical center but the spiritual center all authority that is what did the Bible say all authority that is comes from where the throne y yah so if you're going to have authority there's only one realm of authority and that's the throne Zone any Authority outside of the throne is not Authority that's right tonight you listen to me well when you close your eyes in death and you're going 31 there some of you I'll preach funeral you are going under the ground and when you wake up if you've not been trained and prepared for the throne yes sir you won't even know what's going on if you wake up to meet a Susie you just want to see Jesus honey there's work to be done sir there's work to be done yes sir and it's all about government amen it's all about government the throne is not a literal seat we always thought it was the thr's in some far off Heaven somewhere it is the omnificent dimension of God's Sovereign Authority and power thank you do you want to come to God's Throne 32 brother the Patrick you want to tell you how to come to yah I'm going to give you the greatest revelation yall ever gave me yes do you know the pathway to the throne submit to his authority and you just knelt at the throne amen amen I wish I had a church tonight am that heard what I'm saying the throne is the authority and every Throne is built on the law every government first before we had a government we had a constitution a law the throne is established on the law of God Amen that's the authority and if you are not submitted to the law of God the Torah if 33 you are not submitted you are not Dow at the throne thank you sir oh you can come in those doors and lay prostrate and act like you worshiping you can kneel on your face and get in the carpet say you kneeling at the throne no baby you put on a show you want to get to the throne say yes sir say yes Lord say whatever you want to do it's all right with me with me hallelujah it's all right with me yes sir whatever you want to do in my life it's all I'm B at the throne somebody said let's kneel before the just obey God and you'll kneel 34 automatically we got to see Satan that's why he can't go to the throne he cannot to cannot do it I need help tonight I need somebody to hear where I'm going yes sir we got to get to them four living creatures but first I can't get there till I get the throne right in your mind hallelujah oh The Book of Revelation all Heavenly things spiritual realities are revealed in their relationship to the throne of God get up woman yeah the first eror we need to clear up is who is sitting on the throne that's right the Bible said in John F there was one sitting on the throne and that's 35 what we've always believed okay now it's about to get deep ankle deep Knee Deep you might put your pants up your preaches we always believe that when John said there's one sitting on the throne we always thought one y'all ready but look close the word one there is not in the scriptures go look at your italics that was added by the translators that's right go ahead she check it out I love it I love my students yes see when John said there was one sitting on the throat that word one's not there M the translators put it there because that makes sense there's one sitting on the throne cuz in your 36 natural carnal mind only one can't sit on the throne right but I thought I heard yua say he would sit with his father in his throne well well well well well that's what I heard yeah and then I could have swore yua told 12 disciples that you will sit with me in my Throne as I sit with my father in his throne that's what I heard well y'all ain't trying to help me now I believe it we're about to get somewhere see we got one church here tonight but we got more than one person here amen yeah see the throne oh no the devil has convinced you 37 that the throne is for Yahweh come on come on and therefore you have no desire for the throne M oh what what does this mean this means there is more than one sitting on the Thro sh I'm about to open your eyes you're about to see what the Lord showed me the last two weeks couldn't contain myself getting ready to teach this message because I came to understand what John saw on the throne was not just one God but it was the family of God you better hear what I'm about to tell you now listen to whenever the Queen of England sits on the throne her whole royal family is on 38 the throne they are part of the throne why because the right to the throne goes to her son her grandson so in her there already see God on the thr in her they're already on the flone in Christ you are oh wow good godob I need help now I need y'all to wake up now the Holy Ghost and help me see we've always said if I could just get to the throne baby you ain't getting to the throne you sitting on the yes sir not everybody the Overcomers MH the Sabbath keeper wake go sleep I'll say it to the World the Sabbath Keepers oh but 39 not you get Sabbath Keepers I'm talking about those that you keeping Sab and full of the Holy Ghost now see listen you better understand the flow is not a place it's a dimension yeah yeah it's an authority it's a realm of ruling and raining let's read the word yes sir let's go and I read off the screen yeah God is a god of corporateness Christ is a Christ of corporateness 1 Corinthians 12: 12 for as the body is one oh God yes come on W and it come but it has many he hearts come on hey I wish you got it I wish your Holy Ghost would pick up 40 tonight and all the members of that one body yes being many but they're one oh God so also is Christ it's not just one man that makes up the anointed one it's the entire blood weede sons of God are in there thank you ain't helping me thank you listen do you see that we got one body I could look at you and say she's just one no she's not there's a kidney in there there better be two there's a liver in there there's two lungs in there there's a brain think there's a brain there's there's blood there's so how can I say but Hallelujah yeah there's one sitting on 41 the throne but it ain't one it's the eloh it's the eloh the god family the family of God the god family they places the throne and the church is trying to get you to get Before the Throne oh Hall watch it God's trying to get you over Hallelujah yeah those of you that just want to make Heaven your home life you in the own Ministry this ministry ain't trying to get you to heaven we're trying to get your mind in the throne zone so you can understand you're being called To Rule and reain with yesu over the nations of the world while there's only one God and one Throne yet the god of 42 the throne is ultimately and eternally manifested in incorporate this through God's Christ and the Fast Company of sons who are themselves the fullness of him that fth all in all therefore he that sits on the throne is one yet that one is a corporate one even as Jesus said what did Jesus say what did Yeshua say I and my father yeahhuh you're not one you there and he's out there but you don't understand DNA baby you don't understand you can't separate my son from me no more than you can separate my breath from me why because

The Authority that you gave 51 me I have given them that they may be one even as we are one I am them you and me that they may be made perfect in there's one that sits on the throne did you just get it oh God you ought to be doing a holy ghost shout right now there's one that sits on the throne right yeah you're right there's one because I'm going to be so much in him and he's going to be so much in me that we're going to look like one we're going to be so much alike that there will be one in that government one in that government that's why the Bible said 52 when he appears we don't know what we shall be but we shall be like him yes sir y'all I sit in my room and the Holy Ghost reveals these things to my mind and I'm like my God the whole world fights me on it the whole world because they don't understand the Throne of God that is our calling trying to tell them thank you Lord hallelujah hallelujah thank you Holy Ghost hallelujah thank you Holy Ghost thank you Lord now let's read Revelation 4 read that step for me if you don't mind Revelation 4 4-6 thank God for my ministers in this church around the throne were 24 Thrones 53 and on the Thrones I saw 24 Elders sitting dressed in white robes and they had crowns of gold on their heads and out of the throne came might and thunder Thunders and voices and seven lamps of fire were burning Before the Throne which are the seven spirits of Elohim and Before the Throne there was a sea of glass like crystals and in the midst of the Throne all around the throne were four living creatures covered with thighs in front and in back of them yeah see the reason we don't get the four living creatures we had got the throne why I you have notice this verse 54 did you notice that everything in that verse was about The Throne we've got things before the throne you better hope that's not you by the way I'm going to teach next week on Before the Throne you better hope you're not Before the Throne there's some talk there about round about The Throne that's right in the midst uhoh but there's in the midst of the throne that's where you want to be you don't want to be be Before the Throne that's right or before the government thank you sir or beneath the government ah you don't want to be round about the government you want to be in the midst 55 of the government oh God yes sir and you're fixing to find out something that's going to open your eyes and notice there was things proceeding out of the throne each of these positions is vitally significant learn this tonight before the throne around the throne in the midst of the throne and coming from the throne remember that everything in the heavenlies is shown to me either in the throne proceeding out of the throne around the throne or Before the Throne this is a throne scene and it concerns sitting down with yua hamashiach in his throne just as he overcame and it sat down with his father in his throne this 56 Throne cannot be seen with more it is a living reality in the lives of yah's chosen people hallelujah now this is the poor wonderful Beast that now come the scripture she just read he said when I looked at the throne I saw these things I saw a lion I saw a man I saw an e eagle and I saw an ox and then I saw Shane Von in that Throne Hallelujah I'm believing it Hallelujah Glory your natural mind blocked you from Heavenly Revelation when you turn to the Natural understanding and try to mix the natural with Heavenly things you move into the world of imagination and delusion I 57 never could understand the heaven that I hoped to go to and dreamed of so much for how could this heaven have more living beast in it and how did they get there think about it now I've heard about a beautiful heaven and then John sees these I don't want to walk around with them how could that be see how many's heard of you know beautiful little heaven and then you got these things I always wonder you know that never make sense to my mind here's what else didn't make sense did God have a pooper scooper to keep up the throne s right we got creatures we going to 58 have we going have that's right who's cleaning all that now the reason I pointed that out and I made you laugh because I wanted you to laugh at your own self for thinking that these are natural Beast come a little higher come on come up a little higher get on up there see now and now I

throne we've wrote songs 64 about it get around the throne and they don't even realize that the throne is supposed to be in them and that when you bow down to Yahweh you sit on the thr God from my god

know what a treasure we have here that's great oh listen that's great so what of these beasts we know what the throne is now but what of these four little beast these creatures tasting pretty good notice where they're at notice where these four living creatures are at in the midst of the throne ah these four living creatures are there John sees them in the midst or the middle or sitting 67 on the throne Hallelujah these are not some kind of weird animal creatures out of a Star Wars movie and a far away pet called Heaven that's foolishness ah but what these are brothers and sisters oh yeah if I sit down I can preach longer uh-huh what these are my brothers and sisters are you ready the throne the throne has a character M and a nature yes sir the throne has a character just like the United States of America we are represented by what animal the eagle we have a character you don't want to mess with us see we got a character we're fast and Swift We got a character that 68 we fly higher than all other nations see we got a character represented by an animal or if Russia has got the B why it's Grizzly it's rough and mean every animal represents a character yes sir and a nature well baby the Throne of God's people has a character yeah and a nature for which the devil is fully aware oh now let's find out what it means these are characteristics that are fulfilled in those who are the sons sitting on the FL my beloved this is you now look at your picture that better be a picture of you thank you sir to get on the throne you've got to have these four 69 characters oh yeah we got to talk about it now there go the throne is represented by only four animals you ready the first animal is the ox that's what I heard he's the burden Bearer mhm the ox is the servant yes sir what did we always use the ox for to carry yeah the cross lady yes the burden uhhuh we've always used the ox uhhuh to Bear the burden yes sir anyone in other words we could say the ox is the servant yes sir everyone sitting in this government will start with the ox taking over your life and coming out in your nature and in your 70 character the path to the throne is represented in these four animals your path to the throne starts right here when you bow down to Yahweh and you confess your sin and you become your brother's keeper and you become a servant to all men and you love the unlovable you bear your cross you bear the you carry your shame you carry your pain you do it without ging you do it without complaining the a is living in you the ox never complains loading down he walks on don't he do it don't the O walk on that's what he does don't load it down put it on the me put it on the 71 put the make he'll pull and he'll pull all day long if you're sitting in this Throne this is the first animal that must represent you that's right anybody sitting on notice one animal you don't see up here a goat notice one animal you don't see a goat yes sir you will become a burden Barr you will love the unlovable you will carry your burden in this life and an overcomer you will carry the burden of sin all around you and you will overcome it yes sir after that there's another creature that must begin to live in you oh see come up a little higher oh come on 72 up a little high yes sir the eagle is the prophetic realm the eagle the prophetic realm in your wings now the eag yeah MH everybody that's going to sit on this Throne the eagle is going to manifest itself in your life the eagle flies High the eagle looks down on its problems that's right and the eagle has no fear only faith I hope you heard what I just said hope you weren so busy you didn't hear me eego has no fear only faith when your ego takes over your life you're qualifying for the throne that's the next step after you B the burd you must now fly in a little higher realm 73 understanding God and the mysteries of God you must have faith that no bullet can touch you that you can fly faster that a bullet can reach you you can get higher that a snake can bite you you have no fear amen fear not little ones is that what he said what he said fear not little ones fear not come up a little high John I know you're in prison do you know where John got this Vision in prison yes sir oh yeah but it's okay John had an eag I said joh anag John had an eagle in him John saw things Beyond where he was for those of 74 you that's going to sit in this room you better start seeing [Music] you better start seeing things you better know everything's going to be all right it's going to be all right you better quit crying every time the burden comes you better bear it you better say yes Lord sir yes Lord he that overcometh will sit with me in the government see that's an overcomer the EV an overcome the ox is an overcome what if the ox overcome he could have stopped it anymore he could have said I'm I'm going to pull this plow he could have said say I got to do he PL when you qualify for this thr it's 75 because you took hell looked in the face with the world in front of you when everybody criticized you you plowed on you car your cross after that here comes the face of the man mhm this is is the only one the only one that has wisdom amen animals don't have wisdom amen you remember 36 100 fold you remember I taught you I said you can have knowledge you can have knowledge amen but until you get wisdom you're not hfold Hallelujah the man represents the wisdom of God because only a man can make decisions and wise judgments only a man can devise things and let me tell 76 you what else the man represents are you ready when God created man he gave him Dominion you've got to develop the Dominion mentality what do you mean a Dominion mentality brother Bon it's real simple I know you're not ready for the throne when you tell me you're uncomfortable with ruling and reigning that's right son you don't have a Dominion mentality amen you know you're not ready to rule why the man has always ruled we were created ruling we were born to rule he said I created you to have dominion over everything when you're ready for the clo you're ready to take dominion over everything you're 77 maturing you're getting thrown ready M the four living creatures are taking over your life you see it sister J you see it the four he said I looked on the throne and I saw four characters yes sir four Natures represented by animals and these thr these are what qualifies for the throne amen and then why do we have the lion last year he is the king of the jungle oh oh there's your priest right there your priest is the ox he serves the people good God hallelujah but you see you start off a priest but when you get here you'll develop a king's mentality what do you mean you'll get a 78 government mentality you'll be ready to change the world with Yahweh because those four living creatures are living in your mind hallelujah what Eternal purposes would be served by the knowledge of some weird creatures flying around the throne Somewhere Out beyond the Milky Way why would John just talking I don't that that don't look good to me in my mind I ain't trying to go there who wants to go to heaven with a lion walking around the throne that's right surely there's something there that we've missed right surely yes sir God is saying this is how it applies to your life everyone that's in that Throne will 79 be taken over by the four living characters of Yahweh Yahweh is a servant amen what did yua say he said I didn't come to be servant I came to what the next thing he was an eagle why he said I only what I hear the father say up in the heavens he was in the heavens that's what I say yes sir he was a man that walked in wisdom and dominion over every demon power and then when he was resurrected he became the lion good God you see that's the process to the throne oh God I wish we understood it let us get a f midal picture of this 80 scene which John saw in heaven in the realm of the spirit I'm almost done children he saw the Throne of God God and God sitting on the throne and in the middle of the throne notice what he saw first he saw Yahweh and then in the middle of the throne he saw the four living creature wait a minute wake up Oh Sleeper wake up Oh Sleeper if he see God m in the throne that's right and then he sees four living creatures in that same Throne that's got to be the four faces of God yes sir why because every animal represents kingship why because in that Throne represents the 81 totality of who God is he's a servant he's prophetic he has dominion and he's the lion of the tribe of Judah and if you're going to sit in that throne with him those four creatures are going to represent you they're going to be in you they're going to talk through you they're going to live through you you must become these four creatures and they must become you W carnal minded people want to go to a prophecy conference and they want a prophecy teacher to tell them what each animal what nation gets your mind out of a gutter yes sir come up a little higher come up a little higher you don't even 82 understand the throne how you going to understand the four living creatures see you got to get a spiritual mind John what trying to tell you what nations was going to be where he was trying to tell you what people was going to be overthrown yes Hallelujah yeah Hallelujah now let's set the stage for this drama these four living creatures each had six wings their faces were like a lion an ox a man eagle and then around the throne in a circle were 24 other Thrones and in those Thrones were 24 Elders I'm not going to be able to get to that tonight clothed in white robes 83 and with crowns of gold overhead but in notice that the four beasts were not around the throne they were in the midst of the throne MH there will be a certain group of people around the throne MH oh God yes sir and in the midst of the elders stood now notice also what was in the midst of the throne a lamb that had been slain Before the Throne between the elders and the throne stood seven lamps what does those lamps represent everybody come on M the seven say it again amen the seven spirits of God Amen and I'll talk about that next week outside of the circle of Elders should a great 84 multitude of the redeemed from every nation and tribe on Earth they were clothed in white robes but notice where they were not where were they not in the they're not in the throne but they're still redeemed amen how can that be understand 30f 60f and 100f and you'll see them you'll see the elders and you'll see the for living pies my god do you understand what I'm talking about God from Heaven around all this were the angels of heaven what a scene this is in this scene brother V I know many of you in this room you wonder you say to your yourself you know we want a full Church 85 like everybody else does let me explain something get that junk out of your mind There You Go sir thank you brother if we could just grow what you want to grow with people that don't have mindset thank you listen if you want to grow that crowd Before the Throne was a number no man could number they grow him thank you sir thank y'all but those in the throne the V said they were an elect view that's right sir we want to fill the church up with no no no I don't I don't want to fill this ministry up thank you sir because when I do I 86 haven't sitting on those pews without this mindset that's right sir and then I can't feed you what I need to feed you yes sir I promise you I would come here if it was one of you because I've been called to bring this message to the world where going to do this whatever it takes this is our calling the word peace is not in the Bible it shouldn't be there but we associa in our mind with Beast now I've got to hurry I got to hurry Lord I don't have time and I'm not even I don't know what to do let me just say it this 87 way the Greek word for Beast is ston which means a wild and ravenous Beast it means an animal of a ferocious disposition but in this particular scripture he does not use the word Theos per instead he uses the word Zoom which simply means a living creature not a beast but a living creature now why is that important I fix to show you why change the word living creatures to creatures of Life creatures of life creatures expressing life people with a certain kind of life in them yes sir what kind of Life the only life that can come from the throne listen now listen the word soon means a living creature or 88 expresses life it comes from the root word so which comes from zo I know you know what zo means which is always means divine life or the life of the ages listen to me some folks are living some folks are living some folks are living some folks are breathing some folks are living some folks are living why we're alive in the spirit amen we got a life from the throne that we don't need your Xanax we don't need your proac we got a Life coming from the throne that's Divine Life it's eternal life yes all of those words denote that which is aive Lively how significant then that these 89 four creatures of Life are found in the midst of the throne and round about The Throne occupying the central position in the throne while emanating an essence of glory and a power out from the throne in the Book of Ezekiel Ezekiel Saw these four living creatures and as he looked you can read it later but he saw the four living creatures and then eventually he saw Yahweh himself why Yahweh is in the creatures and the creatures are in you and every time you submit to those creatures you are sitting in the throne or the government of God hallelujah hallu a further key to their identity is found in Revelation 5 and 6 90 where we read and I beheld in low in the midst of the throne stood there's another animal now a lamb a lamb that had been slain listen to me there was one person sit in this government that had been murdered and killed by the mouths of your enemies slain for this message for this gospel slain like an innocent animal because of what did yua ever do to deserve to die he told the truth and they the only way to the throw you ain't ready to hear this is the cruci you feel thank you sir and another life has to take over you Paul said the life that 91 I now live yeah it's not my life that's right it's another life that lives in me yes sir he said there's something different about this he said kill me crucify me whatever you want to do that I might G that High Calling what I call it the thr the government of yesu what life is living in you hallelujah what life is in you is it human life or divine life y if it's human life you can be fed whole food but if it's divine life you can only be fed on word you can only F on Spirit food God is calling you to become a lamb 92 slain how funny we saw four living creatures in the throne and now in this verse we see a lamb can I tell you why all four creatures were manifested in the that's right that's right yeah because the lamb was like the AR the lamb was like the eagle he trusted in his Shepherd the lamb was like the man he walked softly with wisdom and then the lamb resurrected as a lion all four creatures are in the lamb and anybody that sits in that Throne that's the four faces that they will have hallelujah hallelujah Yahweh is life everything that lives doesn't have life if it's dying it isn't alive 93 sister Renee do you know you're dying right now Hallelujah do you know Sister Joanna you're dying right now you're dying father you know you were born dying Hallelujah so the devil has convinced you go out and live life but you don't understand you're not even alive you're a dead man thank you sir because anything that's dying is is not alive it's existing yes sir when you break a rose stem off of the Rose but it's no longer alive that's right it's existing it's dying see you thought you were having a good time in the world you were dying you've never had life until you get thron's on life 94 until she until the living creatures the life of those creatures dwell inside of you the four living creatures are the four manifestations of life the life of the god of the throne they are four representations of nature the nature of the god of the throne the four living creatures are four expressions of the power and the Dominion of the throne if you want to know what the god of the throne is like then take a look at the four living creatures in the midst of the throne in them is Manifest the attributes of the life of the god of the throne if you want to know the nature of the authority 95 the rule and the nature of the for living creatures these embody within themselves the character of the god of the throne not only do they represent the life and nature of the god of the throne not only do they express within themselves the character of the throne but they reveal the very life nature character and Dominion of all who share the throne that's right the one on the throne Reigns this is the glory of the sons of God who reign with Christ this is the four-fold character of God revealed through the Dominion of God from the throne this is God's identity through his kingdom Administration in and through those who 96 share his kingship notice all of those animals you just saw were Kings of their domain yes sir the cattle with his horn yes sir the eagle the man and the lion it's all Kings what you're being called to is kingship but yet nobody wants it you know that's the saddest thing nobody wants the kingship they won't have Satan keeps us out of the Book of Revelation on purpose because it is there that we truly know our calling listen brother Tom it was never God's idea for you to die and go to heaven he created you to have dominion and that's still his desire but before you can get Dominion in the 97 throne Zone you got to get Dominion in The Home Zone amen hallelujah anybody hear that yes sir if you can't overcome sin in your life if you're still rebellious if you're still disobedient if you're still hateful then you think you got to get the authority at home before you get it in the throne it starts here if you can't get it in the church for example yes sir it is here in this church where we learn obedience where we learn to to be accountable where we learn to walk in unity when we learn not to talk about each other we learn not to be against 98 one another we learn the the etiquette of the throne see when we all get in the throne it will be proven that we loved each other it will be proven that we loved each other on Earth because if we can't if we can't love on the throne how can we love if we can't love here how can we love in the throne amen if you can say one evil word about me now he won't let you you on the throne because there'll be disunity on the throne yes sir oh it's getting real see yes sir if you can't lay down the sin that so easily besets you you may be 99 in that crowd Before the Throne I don't have time oh God I wish I had time tonight look at this things I why I said why for and why look oh look we have look not even halfway through so much more we Haven even got to the elders we haven't even got to Before the Throne so much I want to teach you so much the Holy Spirit wants to teach you

heard Paul say not to be of 101 the flesh but of the spirit in other words put your wings on yes sir in other words fly higher John what did the angel tell John High well to go higher you got to have wings because six is a number of man man must become those four living creatures and we must fly into the spirit as men and as humans you got six wings which is the number of men carnality but when we

Summary

Shane Vaughn opens a multi-week teaching on the four living creatures of Revelation 4 by first explaining the throne of God, which he says symbolizes authority and government rather than a literal seat. He argues that the Old Testament is the seed bed for understanding Revelation and that the destiny of overcomers is the throne, not heaven. He presents the ox, eagle, man and lion as four characters that must be formed in believers who will sit with Yahshua in his throne, and closes with prayer and worship.
