/*Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with 
eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop 
saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and 
is to come." -- Revelation 4:8*/

This is the center of the book of Revelation. An unchanging God, fully 
in charge of the church, the pagans, the spirits, the devils, the 
angels, the dead and the living -- takes His place as King of the 
universe, under the constant inspection of these super intelligent and 
powerful creatures.

And they are in awe.

"Why all the eyes?" I ask our Father. "Is it so they can see You, or so 
You can look them in the eye, and see inside their spirits?"

And then I realize they see it all. They see six thousand years of 
rebellion -- or more. Billions of evil men and women, legions of demons, 
inflicting horror on those God loves. They see the church with all its 
beauty and all its flaws. And they see God.

Though they've seen the depths of evil, they are overwhelmed, not with 
what's wrong with us or with unbelievers or with demons, but rather with 
what's right with God. Triumphant, holy, unchanging, sovereign God.

It's a ray of light in our dark world. If we could see enough, we too 
would be overwhelmed.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
