In the Book of Revelation (4:4–8), the beasts are described as being forever in God's presence and praising him: "nd they rest not day and night, saying, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." This account differs slightly from the account of Isaiah, stating in the eighth verse, "And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within". They appear also in the Gnostic text, "On the Origin of the World".
