Revelation 5:6

beheld... the four beasts, etc.

In chapter 4:4-10, John has described the twenty-four elders and the four beasts that surrounded the throne.. have not space to enter into the discussions of what either of these two classes of intelligences signify.. must refer the reader again to The Vision of the Ages for the reasons, and barely state that. comparison of all that is said of them in Revelation with Ezekiel, chapter. and chapter 10, where they are also described, shows that they were cherubim. In Ezekiel I. he describes the same beings as John; in Ezekiel X. he describes the same beings and says, I knew that they were cherubim. The Revision exchanges the word "beasts" for "living creatures," which is correct.

Stood. Lamb as it had been slain.

In the midst of the throne, surrounded by the heavenly intelligences, John saw. Lamb,. Lamb bearing wounds, the marks of its having been slain. The Lamb was the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lion had conquered by dying as the Lamb, slain for the sins of the world.

Seven horns and seven eyes.

The horn is the symbol of power; the eye of intelligence; the number seven is the symbol of perfection. The seven horns and eyes, therefore, denote that the Lamb is both Omnipotent and Omniscient.
