In verse eight it talks of hands of a man under their wings. The hands denote power, means, and direction of the human species. Now, if we suppose as mentioned before that the wings denote the expremeties of armies, then here we may have some significance as to whether these creatures have something to do with controlling the four winds which, in turn, denote the armies of the world. Their wings were joined meaning that the four acted as one unit. The concordance implies a closeness bordering on coupling. When they traveled, they did not revolve but went straight forward in the sense of crossing a gulf. In reference to crossing over a gulf, this is the means by which an object travels from one point of the universe to another without having to circumnavigate the gulf in between. This implies instantaneous interstellar travel. Further study makes this not only more plausible, but it implies that this is the object of the whole search. Not only are we being shown that the universe is ours to govern, we will be shown the method by which we will govern it.

As to the resemblance of their faces, one was the face of mankind. Another was of a violently-pierced lion. Obviously, this some reference to the Lion of Judah who was pierced for our sakes. The ox has something to do with traveling (around a restraining wall), and there is some joy involved, because the traveler is singing. The eagle, of course, has a great deal of meaning. Speed is one of its attributes, and its penetrating eyesight, but it also has something to do with tenderness, love and compassion.

Verse 11 speaks of their wings being stretched upward. The word stretched means to break through or spread or separate oneself; upward means to ascend up at once or to shoot up. Thus, when the wings were stretched upward, they surprisingly describle the effect a black hole would have on an object--namely stretching to infinity and occupying one or more spaces simultaneously. Verse 12 says they went straight forward; whither th spirit was to go they went. The word whither has reference both to time and place or space; as well as to whom, to what, how, when and where. The spirit again refers to the whirlwind or the breath of life. So, these creatures were under the dirct control of the whirlwind and went where, when, how, to whomever and to whatever the spirit dictated and they did not deviate at or or "turned not" when they went.

Verse 13 gets into the appearance of the creatures as opposed to their substance. The word appearance denotes a view--whether real, a shape, a vision or a pattern of the thing seen By implication, what the prophet was seeing was "looking through a glass darkly" at something he couldn't possibly understand, but the mental vision of the pattern gave him the words to us in describing it.

Their appearance was "like" burning coals of fire. The word like denoted manner, time, and relation to the burning coal of fire. The burning coal of fire represents the consuming fire of which God is described and travels all around and up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright meaning that it not only caused the creatures to shine like Moses did when coming down from the mount, but it also illuminated them with knowledge, spirit and power. Out of this fire went forth lightning which was the means by which the creatures could run and return as the flash of lightning. The lightning cast the creatures back and forth, doing the bidding of the spirit. This means that these creatures traveled at not only the speed of light. In all liklihood, they traveled at multiples of the speed of light and therefore traveled instantaneously to whatever point of space and time the spirit desired. The book of John 1:51 states, hereafter, ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. Here, then, is the means by which the angels ascend and descend. It is also the ladder that Jacob saw in vision. What is being revealed to us is nothing short of an invitation to join the civilization of heaven and shown the means to do so.
