People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 4:6
A sea of glass like unto crystal. This deep, transparent sea before
the throne is supposed to symbolize the purity and calmness of the
Divine rule. It stands solid, calm and clear.
In the midst of the throne, and round about the throne. The four
forms which are next described were to the right and left of the throne
in the midst between these extremes. The throne was in their midst.
Four beasts. "Four living creatures", as in the Revised Version.
Four "beasts", as in the Common Version, is an incorrect idea. The
Greek for "beasts" is different ("thiria"). They are four "zoa",
"living forms".
Full of eyes. Their eyes looked backwards as well as forward. The
description of these wonderful objects is next given.
