Before reading any of my blog posts it is important to have already seen The Revelation Of Jesus Christ Documentary. Without this foundation of knowledge, you will not be able to understand the concepts I will be explaining in these teachings. After watching, I would recommend beginning at the oldest blog and working toward the most recent. New posts typically build upon the previous ones.
In this blog post I will explain in greater detail the ‘living creatures’ of Ezekiel 1 and show you their relationship to the mind. However, I will not be doing a full chapter breakdown of all the imagery in this chapter, because there are too many concepts for a single blog post. I will only focus upon a select portion directly related to our subject for today.
If you have read my page on The Kingdom Of God you will see I delved into the topic of the 'living creatures’ a bit there, and portions of this post will be added accordingly to that page. Additionally, if you have been following my blog, you will begin to see the picture I am painting of how each part of the body plays it’s own role, and is also manifested externally (such as animals, trees, clouds, etc..). Therefore when you see the term living creature(s), I want you to remember it is representing a creature contained within the body itself, but has it’s own function and reasoning for the description in each verse. Ezekiel 1 say,
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
When reading these verses, it is easy to get confused because it seems as if the bible is speaking about four creatures that are separate from one another. However, I included verse 5 so that you can see all four living creatures have the ‘likeness of a man’. The reason for this is because by now you know that the kingdom of God is within you, and these four creatures are located within my brain. Therefore, when looking at them as unit, you will see the likeness of a man, because you are looking at me. Which is why you see the ‘they four had’ as the description, because all four of these living creatures are one, and when we get to verse 20, you will see us called ‘the living creature’ in a singular sense. And remember the description I gave you previously from my post on “The Seven “Planets”, using Revelation 5 to show how I was in the ‘midst’ of all parts of the brain (as Ezekiel 1:5 said ‘out of the midst thereof’).
I created this image so that you can visually understand why the descriptions are given as such in Ezekiel. This representation shows you the beauty, depth, and wisdom of the bible, as well as, provides the proof that the bible is eternal (giving descriptions of things that were supposedly not discovered yet). Further demonstrating my point that all of time is occurring right now (as stated in “The Eye Of Providence” post), because this type of brain imaging is necessary in accurately providing a visual description and understanding to the public. Don’t believe the lie that man “evolved over hundreds of thousands of years” of banging sticks and rocks together to make a fire. When the literal bible about my life is showing you in depth descriptions of brain imaging scans from verses in the Old Testament.
Next, Ezekiel 1 says,
11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
I will provide an image below that shows how their wings were stretched upwards and joined to another; but the literal definition is that both hemispheres of your brain are joined together, and their bodies (the external connection to earth) would be the route of the optic tract joined at the chiasm. And notice how it says ‘they went every one straight forward’, and ‘turned not when they went’. This is allowing you to visualize how all four of these living creatures are located within the brain, and when I walk forward (my spirit telling my body where to go), they don’t turn within the skull. All four sectional views (face of man being the frontal view, not shown above) do not turn internally when you walk, they simply all go in the direction of the nose. It is not like your brain is rotating counter clockwise as you walk, or flipping vertically upside-down, it remains in the same position relative to your skull at all times. The last description we are given is that two wings covered their bodies, and as I explained above, their bodily connection upon the earth would be the eyes. So the two wings stretched are the two canals of the optic tract, joined at the chiasm, then the wings that cover would be the eyelids, also joined one to another (wings).
The next section of Ezekiel 1, gives us a further description,
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
When you think a thought, you are sending an electrical impulses through a cluster of neurons (depending on what type or how complex the idea), which illuminates sections of the brain (lightnings). Hence the description of lamps, going up and down the living creatures. The same is true when your mind tells your eyes to look around, those impulses are sent via the optic nerves, and are the spirit of the living creatures. For more information on neural oscillations or brainwaves, you can view this Wikipedia page.
These descriptions give you a better understanding of a typical theme throughout the bible, which I will expound from Exodus 13,
21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
Notice the differentiation between me leading the people by day and night; during the day I am leading them in a ‘pillar’ of a cloud, and at night it is the same pillar, but of fire. The reason the term pillar is used, is because the spinal cord is wired throughout the brain and body, and is visually similar to a pillar (the base is the pelvis, the top is the brain). Additionally, as you can see in the image below, the brain is less active during the day due to the necessity to distribute energy more equally throughout the entirety of the body. However, at night, that strong ATP (energy) demand for the body is no longer required, and can be utilized more for the brain in repairing neurological connections. This solidifies the memories (pathways) that were created during the day. Hence why in the verses from Exodus above, as well as other scriptures, Israel is always traveling, because during both day and night the mind is active.
This will also allow you to understand why Deuteronomy 33:13-14 states,
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
These verses give you a clear description that my land is synonymous with things of heaven because my throne is of the mind, not the body. Additionally, if you look at the image above you can see how during the day the mind visually looks more like the moon, and during the evening (from increased neural activity) it looks more like the sun. That is why the bible says ‘precious things put forth by the moon’, because that is when I am learning and cultivating my garden. But it is not brought forth (meaning growing), until the night when the mind looks like the sun. Also, throughout Genesis 1, we see a reoccurring phrase stating, ‘And the evening and the morning were the first day.’. Notice how the evening comes before the morning, and even Genesis 1 states,
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Darkness is present before the light, and then my Spirit (the Spirit of God) moves upon the waters (doctrine, wisdom), and light appears. The bible is showing you how first the Spirit moves, or puts forth (when the mind looks like evening), then the fruit is brought forth (when the mind looks like morning).
In conclusion, you can see how perfectly the bible ties all things together within the mind (heaven) and body (earth), and I hope these descriptions give you a better understanding as you read the word. I will continue the description of the wheels of the living creatures, and the rest of Ezekiel 1 & 10, in another blog post soon.
P.S. Forgot to include this example: Daniel 3,
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Notice what is occurring in these verses; three men (three ‘living creatures’) are thrown into a spiritual fire, and Nebuchadnezzar notices the form of the fourth (God’s angel, or Spirit). This matches the ‘fourth living creature’ described above, the appearance of a man, the Son of God. It is evident that these three are bold and stand for what they believe in, therefore it makes sense that they are the three who are in me (the bible describes frequently that believers are ‘in Christ Jesus’). And the fire had ‘no power’ over them because as Revelation 20 says about believers, ‘on such the second death hath no power.’
