The Lion, the Eagle, the Man and the Ox

– Pastor Rusty – June 3, 2025

“And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: The first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,

who was and is and is to come!” Rev. 4:6-8

“The four living beast around the throne of God have always brought both mystery and promise of glory of what was and is and is to come. I do not believe that chapter four is something that is in the future but more so something that was and is and is to come. Chapter four is eternally planted in the now and is eternally past and eternally future. God dwells out of time. His existence is a perpetual line of time that extends eternally into the past as well as extending perpetually into the future. God is eternally now! When God is declared by His name YHWH… He is declaring Himself to be self existent. He is eternal without beginning or end. He is eternally past as well as eternally future.🧐 These four creatures represent all ministry that flows from God and truly originate from the throne. All true apostolic ministry originates from before the throne and is represented by the 🦁 lion. Professed apostolic that has its’ origins here on earth is an abomination and will ultimately be brought into account. All true prophetic ministry originates from the throne and is represented by the 🦅 eagle. Those who believe themselves to be prophets that function from the soulish realm are simply psychics masquerading as prophets. They follow the error of Balaam and will be judged accordingly. “How can you tell who’s what?” Good question. They love to function outside of His presence and they do not gravitate to said presence.🤔 All true shepherds and true teachers originate from the beast with “face of the man”🧔‍♀️ that is before the throne. Hirelings do not require their origin before the throne. All evangelist and government within the Ekklesia flow from before the throne represented by the beast with the face of the ox.🐃 You May think these ministries do not require an anointing to function, but you would be wrong. All ministry will find their identity before the throne. It’s important to find your place in the kingdom structure. I had a dream years ago where I saw the face of the lion, the face of the eagle, the face of the man, and the face of the ox. The eagle was seemingly in flight and the wing on the left side of the eagle facing me flowed into the hair of a man (who was Native American)🤔. And the wing on the right side of the flying eagle that was facing me flowed into the mane of the lion so that you could not tell where the mane of the lion ended and the wing of the eagle began.🧐 This would imply that while you may have a primary call and a primary anointing on your life there will be times when you will be functional while under other anointing. Such as a prophet who is also a pastor, or a pastor who is also an apostle. All these ministries have their Origen before the throne.

“Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;” 1Pet. 1:10.

Know who you are and what your calling is in Christ Jesus. Pastor Rusty
