The concept of creatures encompasses a wide range of life forms, including humans, animals, and other living entities. The term is often used to emphasize the creative power and authority of God over all life.<br><br><b>Creation of Creatures</b><br><br>The account of creation in Genesis highlights the origin of all creatures. On the fifth and sixth days of creation, God created the living creatures of the sea, the birds of the air, and the animals of the land. <a href="/genesis/1-20.htm">Genesis 1:20-25</a> states, "And God said, 'Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.' So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed, according to their kinds, and every bird of flight after its kind. And God saw that it was good."<br><br>Humans, as creatures, hold a unique place in creation. <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26-27</a> describes the creation of mankind: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."<br><br><b>Dominion and Stewardship</b><br><br>The Bible assigns humans a special role in relation to other creatures. As beings made in the image of God, humans are given dominion over the earth and its creatures. This dominion is not a license for exploitation but a call to stewardship and care. <a href="/genesis/2-15.htm">Genesis 2:15</a> states, "Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it."<br><br><b>Creatures in Worship and Revelation</b><br><br>Creatures are also depicted as part of the worship of God. In Revelation, creatures are seen as part of the heavenly host that praises God. <a href="/revelation/5-13.htm">Revelation 5:13</a> declares, "And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: 'To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!'"<br><br><b>New Creation</b><br><br>The New Testament speaks of a new creation in Christ, where believers are transformed into new creatures. <a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a> states, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!" This transformation signifies a spiritual renewal and a restored relationship with God.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical concept of creatures underscores the diversity and beauty of God's creation, the responsibility of humans to care for it, and the ultimate purpose of all creatures to glorify their Creator.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Denotes the whole creation in <a href="/romans/8-39.htm">Romans 8:39</a>; <a href="/colossians/1-15.htm">Colossians 1:15</a>; <a href="/revelation/5-13.htm">Revelation 5:13</a>; the whole human race in <a href="/mark/16-15.htm">Mark 16:15</a>; <a href="/romans/8-19.htm">Romans 8:19</a>-22.<p>The living creatures in <a href="/ezekiel/10-15.htm">Ezek. 10:15</a>, 17, are imaginary beings, symbols of the Divine attributes and operations. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the Old Testament, on the other hand, it stands for words which have in the original no reference to creation, but which come from other roots. Nephesh, "living creature" (literally, "a breathing thing"), occurs in the accounts of the Creation and the Flood and at the close of the lists of clean and unclean animals in <a href="/leviticus/11-46.htm">Leviticus 11:46</a>. Chay, "living creature" (literally, "a living thing"), occurs 13 times in Ezekiel 1; 3 and 10 (see CREATURE, LIVING). Sherets, "moving creature" (literally, "a swarming thing," generally rendered "creeping thing," which see), occurs once in <a href="/genesis/1-20.htm">Genesis 1:20</a>. 'Ochim, "doleful creatures," occurs once only in <a href="/isaiah/13-21.htm">Isaiah 13:21</a>. It appears to be an onomatopoetic word referring to the mournful sounds emitted by the animals in question. From the context it is fair to suppose that owls may be the animals referred to.<br><br>See <a href="../o/owl.htm">OWL</a>; <a href="../c/creation.htm">CREATION</a>.<br><br>Alfred Ely Day<p><span class="encheading">CREATURE, LIVING</span><p>(chayyah; zoon): "Living creature" (chayyah) is the designation of each of the composite figures in Ezekiel's visions (<a href="/ezekiel/1-5.htm">Ezekiel 1:5, 13</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/3-13.htm">Ezekiel 3:13</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/10-15.htm">Ezekiel 10:15, 17, 20</a>) and, the Revised Version (British and American), of the similar beings in the visions of the Apocalypse, instead of the extremely unfortunate translation of zoon in the King James Version by "beasts" (<a href="/revelation/4-6.htm">Revelation 4:6</a>; <a href="/revelation/5-6.htm">Revelation 5:6</a>; 6:1; 7:11; 14:03; 15:07; 19:4), which, however, went back to Wycliff, in whose time the word had not the low meaning which "beast," "beastly" have with us; hence, he translates <a href="/1_corinthians/15-44.htm">1 Corinthians 15:44</a>, "It is sowen beestli body," meaning simply animal (see Trench's Select Glossary); in Re "the beasts of the earth," the "beasts" that came up, the notable "beast" that men worshipped, represent the Greek therion, "a wild beast."<br><br>The "living creatures" in Ezekiel's vision (<a href="/ezekiel/1-5.htm">Ezekiel 1:5</a>) were four in number, "with the general appearance of a man, but each with four faces and four wings, and straight legs with the feet of an ox. Under their wings are human hands, and these wings are so joined that they never require to turn. The front face is that of a man; right and left of this are the faces of a lion and (of) an ox, and behind, that of an eagle. out of the midst of them gleam fire, torches, lightnings, and connected with them are four wheels that can turn in every direction, called whirling wheels (<a href="/ezekiel/10-12.htm">Ezekiel 10:12, 13</a>). Like the creatures, these are alive, covered with eyes, the sign of intelligence; the spirit of the living creatures is in them. They are afterward discovered by the prophet to be cherubim" (Schultz, Old Testament Theology, II, 233). See <a href="../c/cherubim.htm">CHERUBIM</a>. In Ezekiel's vision they seem to be the bearers of the throne and glory of God; the bearers of His presence and of His revelation (<a href="/ezekiel/9-3.htm">Ezekiel 9:3</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/10-3.htm">Ezekiel 10:3</a>). They also sound forth His praise (<a href="/ezekiel/3-12.htm">Ezekiel 3:12</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/10-2.htm">Ezekiel 10:2</a>). (See Schultz as above.)<br><br>The four living creatures in <a href="/revelation/4-6.htm">Revelation 4:6</a> are not under the throne but "in the midst of the throne" (the American Revised Version, margin "before"; see <a href="/revelation/7-17.htm">Revelation 7:17</a>; compare <a href="/revelation/5-6.htm">Revelation 5:6</a>) and "round about the throne." They are also cherubim, and seem to represent the four beings that stand at the head of the four divisions of the creation; among the untamed animals the lion; among cattle the calf or ox; among birds the eagle; among all created beings the man. It gives "a perfect picture of true service, which should be as brave as the lion, patient as the ox, aspiring as the eagle, intelligent as man" (Milligan in the place cited.). They represent the powers of Nature-of the creation, "full of eyes" as denoting its permeation with the Divine Reason, the wings signifying its constant, ready service, and the unceasing praise the constant doing of God's will. The imagery is founded on Ezekiel as that had been modified in apocalyptic writings and as it was exalted in the mind of the Seer of Patmos.<br><br>W. L.
