Hello DailyBread,

As this beast, apparently is first mentioned in Ezekiel 1:10 it seems to pre-date the disciples quite a bit.

As one of them is a lion - - and as Judah was represented several times as a lion - there are also parallels there, of course.

One interesting thing about this beast - - is when it moves, it doesn't turn - - but it simply goes in a different direction, apparently. See Ezek. Another interesting thing about the 12 tribes, is - - JUDAH apparently, the Lion - - always camped on the EAST side of the Tabernacle. The others perhaps took up their positions also therefore - - perhaps one representing a man, an ox, and an eagle. All maintaining their positions when the camp moved, apparently.

While it is possible, that - - the disciples also in some way may in someway - - may also represent one or more of these 4 faces - - - - - - this appears to be a quite weak parallel, compared to the tribes marches and camping araingments.

Could you flesh out what parallels you might notice? (other than some pictures?)

Thanks,
Bert

Hello DailyBread,

OK. I thought you possibly had more.

Good Day,
