  These living creatures were probably hieroglyphical
  representations of the holy angels, the attendants on "the
  King of Glory," and the ministers of his providence.  They
  were four, apparently to denote that they were employed in
  the four corners of the world; and they had the likeness of a
  man, to signify that they were intelligent and rational
  creatures.

   * :26; 10:1 Ex 24:10 Job 37:22 Re 4:3,6; 21:11
- crystal.
  The Hebrew {kerach,} which generally denotes ice, doubtless
  here signifies crystal, ([          ,] from [          ,]
  cold, ice, and [          ,] to concrete,) as it is rendered
  by the LXX. and Vulgate.  It is a very large class of
  silicious minerals, hard, pellucid, naturally colorless, of
  regularly angular figures, and of simple plates; not
  flexible, nor elastic, but giving fire with steel; not
  fermenting by acid menstrua, but calcinable in a strong fire.
  There are three orders of pure crystal:  the first is perfect
  columnar crystals, with double pyramids, of eighteen planes,
  in an hexangular pyramid at each end; the second is that of
  perfect crystals, without a column, of twelve or sixteen
  planes, in two hexangular pyramids:  and the third is that of
  imperfect crystals, with single pyramids, of ten or twelve
  planes, in an hexangular or pentangular column.  Terrible
  crystal seems to denote that which was well cut and polished,
  vividly refracting the rays of light.

   * Da 10:6 2Ki 7:6


VERSE 25 
 - and had.
   * :24


VERSE 26 
 - And above.
  Abp. Newcome judiciously observes, "We need not allegorize
  the circumstances of this august vision too minutely.  Many
  of them augment the splendor of the scene, while others, no
  doubt, have much significance; which should be pointed out
  rather by a correct judgement, than a luxuriant imagination."
