Revelation 4:
The Throne in Heaven
4 "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it".
Casseiopia the Throne in the North
3 "And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder."

| The Throne (Casseopia) is on the sides of the North with a rainbow around it (The Milky Way) The 24 Elders are the 24 hours in the day as divided by the longitudinal grid emanating from the North Pole. The Bear (Dipper), i.e. the Seven Spirits of God are close to the center in this view |
In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God
 Ursa Major-The Big Dipper-The Seven Spirits of God Opposite the Throne Casseopia |
.6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

The four living creatures are made up from the Constellations of the Four Seasons, in this case, Summer-Leo the Lion...and three months earlier, Spring- Taurus the Ox...and three months earlier, Winter-Aquarius the Waterman...and three months earlier, Fall-Aquila the Eagle. Their combined wings again are the 24 hours in the day (4x6) and "covered with eyes" are the night sky stars one can see all around them.
These creatures, representing Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall are also found in Ezekiel's visions.
Or it's a big coincidence they match the seasonal constellations
Let me know if you'd like to hear about Revelation 12:4?
Hint:

Phew--close call! Virgo, the Virgin, (upper left) slips the birth of the Sun past Serpens and Satan and is given the Wings of a Great Eagle, (Aquila the Eagle to the left) to flee to her place. (This is also the current just before Christmas morning sky) Or again...just an amazing coincidence "As above...so below" |
