Nation Eagle

Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.

Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
