8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

A. Six wings - The graphic picture here may show us the speed and swiftness of their ability to deal with our needs.

B. Eyes around - They have the ability to see in all directions and know what is happening everywhere. Nothing goes on that escapes their sight.

C. They worship God - While they might have some amazing abilities as we humans see them, they are subject to the “Lord God Almighty.”

D. Was, is and is to come - God is present tense. What God was in the past, He is today, and will be the same tomorrow. With God all things are present tense. God is the great I AM.
