| Ezekiel 10 |
Ezekial is describing a zodiac. The four "cherubim," the man, ox,
lion, and eagle, represent the cardinal points and four elements: Aquarius (air), Taurus
(earth), Leo (fire), and Scorpio (water). Ezekiel's four-faced creature composed of
eagle, lion, bull, and man, was copied from the fabulous composite beasts of Assyria, who
represented the four seasons of the year.[1,.p139;2,p.401]
"In astrology, Leo is a lion,
Taurus is a bull/calf, Aquarius is a man pouring water and
Scorpio has three symbols, one a scorpion, one an eagle
and one a serpent. These four cardinal signs are also the basis
for Ezekiel's description of the four faces in Ezekiel 1:10 which also
mentions a LION, MAN, OX and EAGLE."
