  17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are ^dpassed away; behold, all things are become new.

  3  Q. Are the four beasts limited to individual beasts, or do they represent classes or orders?

A. They are limited to four individual beasts, which were shown to John, to represent the glory of the classes of beings in their destined order or sphere of creation, in the enjoyment of their ^deternal felicity.

  19  And out of the ground I, the Lord God, formed every ^abeast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and commanded that they should come unto Adam, to see what he would call them; and they were also living souls; for I, God, breathed into them the breath of life, and commanded that whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that should be the name thereof.

  10  A righteous man regardeth the life of his ^abeast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
