There are four super weird creatures around God's throne in Revelation, each one with a different face and a bunch of eyes. What are these beings and what is their significance in God's throne room? The answer is found in Ezekiel 1, which feels like one of the strangest passages in all of the prophetic books. But once you put all the pieces together, the four living creatures start to make a whole lot of sense.

It takes awhile to put these pieces together, making this our longest JXN Cloud episode to date! But we think you'll find it interesting ;) Let us know what you think in the comments below or on our Discord! www.jxncloud.com/discord

The Bible is crammed full of all kinds of important numbers and John's favorite in particular is seven. Why then is there a Biblically obscure "twenty-four" elders in Heaven, and what exactly are those elders? In this episode we look at a few of the more popular and lesser known theories behind these elders and find a combination of answers to be the best answer. What do you think?

Why is there a crystal sea before God's throne in Heaven in the book of Revelation? The answer is found in an ancient understanding of the cosmos, which we moderns often miss due to our own conception of the universe.

John reports a number of intriguing things that he sees in God's throne room: gems, rainbows, thrones, storms, a sea of glass, different kinds of strange beings, and more. While this all sound strange, we've seen these kinds of things before in the Bible. Let's dissect a few of these elements as we move into our next section of Revelation. And then, in our next few episodes, we'll return to some of these elements to get an even closer look at what's going on here. Join the conversation on our Discord! www.jxncloud.com/discord

In our final letter to the seven churches of Revelation, we uncover quite a few interesting "prophetic geographical statements" that Jesus makes to the people of Laodicea. Learn more and then join the conversation on our Discord! www.jxncloud.com/discord

When Jesus called the church at Sardis to "wake up" because he would come "like a thief," there were a whole lot of historical undertones they would have heard that we completely miss when we read Revelation today. In this episode we take a look at Sardis's history to understand the intensity of Jesus's words. Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord

In the letter to Thyatira, we learn about a local figure called Jezebel, upon which most of their letter rests. Jesus seems to have little critique for those who have separated themselves from her, but for those who have been following her and her teaching, Jesus has a massive warning. Who is Jezebel and what was going on at Thyatira? We discuss that in this episode. Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord

While the church in Pergamum was home to an early church martyr, not everyone there was strong in carrying out their faith. Some of them have been leading others into sin and Jesus calls them to immediate repentance. We discuss that and more in today's episode.

Of the seven churches of Revelation, Jesus writes the shortest letter to Smyrna. While Jesus has no critique to offer them (unlike most of the other churches) he does have an intense word of warning for them. Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord
