    Ps.36:9 "Fountain of life" (1 of 2)

    "For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light."

    End of the covering cherub shall be from fire. " therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee." Judgment of God is a consuming fire while His mercies are like a river.

    In the living creatures we have eyes instead of stones, "As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four."(Ez.1:18) the same we find as memorial, "and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind." (Re.4:4) These eyes visually connect to the slain Lamb "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."(Re.5:6). The Spirit (seven spirits) explain the living creatures in the vision of Ezekiel."Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."(Ez.1:20)

    They signify the children of God. (Ro.8:14) The two wheels within each other represent the two great lights as a sign (Ge1:16). The same form the mountain of light, Zion and New Jerusalem, and is called the light of the Lamb.

    The four beasts in Re.4 had six wings while the living creatures were born of the word of God. They walked straight as directed by the Spirit and they saw by the light of the Lamb. This is brought out by the wheels. "The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."(Ez.1:16) We see the colour of the wheel, like unto the colour of a beryl same colour we have in the breastplate of Aaron.
