Summary of Revelation 4:6b-8
There was a sea of glass in front of the throne. Four living creatures were surrounding the throne. They were covered in eyes. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”

9) Four living creatures were surrounding the throne. They were covered in eyes. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
10) Holy, Holy, Holy: this means that God is holy, pure, perfect.
Lord God Almighty: God is Lord over all things.
Who was, and is, and is to come: God has always existed and will always exist. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is eternal.
11a) Praising God means to worship Him. It expresses your gratitude for Him. You acknowledge his greatness and worth. You can praise God in worship, singing, dancing, prayer, studying His Word, and more.
b) I still have a job. I still have a home. I have my health and my family. I lead a good life. Everything is from Him. Be grateful for everything, and do everything in God’s name.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 9, Day 4: Revelation 4:6b-8
From Ezekiel 1:4-14 and 10:20-22, the creatures are cherubim. Satan used to be one of these till he was thrown out of heaven for his sins. You’ll find cherubim in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:17-22 and 26:1-31).
The eyes mean they see things and have a high intelligence and understanding.
Each has a different face. Of course, there is much debate about what these four faces represent, from each book of the 4 Gospels to virtues, angels, apostles, and more.
They do represent all of creation: animals (wild and domestic), birds, and mankind.
