According to Chinese culture, God can transform himself into Five Heavenly Emperors as follow:
White Metal Heavenly Emperor with the image of a white tiger or monkey, usually we name him White Emperor. Actually the White Emperor is the Holy Spirit, so He possesses all the rights and abilities of God. we can also name him the only son of God. In fact, God’s only son is God himself.
Cyan Wood Heavenly Emperor with the image of a lion or dragon or horse, usually we name him Cyan Emperor or blue Emperor.
Black Water Heavenly Emperor with the image of turtle, usually we name him Black Emperor.
Red Fire Heavenly Emperor with the image of cattle or rosefinch, usually we name him Red Emperor.
Yellow Soil Heavenly Emperor with the image of hawk or eagle or carving or kylin or elephant or giraffe. usually we name him Yellow Emperor.
《Habakkuk》3:8 Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?
《Zechariah》1:8 I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.
《Zechariah》1:9 Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.
《Zechariah》1:10 And the man who was between the mountains, answering me, said, These are those whom the Lord has sent to go up and down through the earth.
Explain:
God went on his four horses
God on the red horse was Red Emperor(Archangel)
God on the black horse was Black Emperor(Archangel).
God on the white horse was white Emperor(Archangel).
God on the mixed colours horse was Yellow Emperor(Archangel).
《Zechariah》6:1 And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
《Zechariah》6:2 In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;
《Zechariah》6:3 And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.
《Zechariah》6:4 And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
《Zechariah》6:5
[kjv] And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the LORD of all the earth.
[bbe] And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.
《Revelation 》6:1And I saw when the Lamb undid one of the stamps, and the voice of one of the four beasts came to my ears, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.
《Revelation 》6:2 And I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he went out with power to overcome.
《Revelation 》6:3 And when the second stamp was undone, the voice of the second beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.
《Revelation 》6:4 And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.
《Revelation 》6:5 And when the third stamp was undone, the voice of the third beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. And I saw a black horse; and he who was seated on it had scales in his hand.
《Revelation 》6:7 And when the fourth stamp was undone, the voice of the fourth beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.
《Revelation 》6:8 And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth.
Explain:
The four winds of heaven were the four spirits of God, they were Red Emperor、Black Emperor、 White Emperor and Yellow Emperor. The wind is a horse which is a wood Emperor (or wood spirit of God), so the four Emperors riding on the horses are the four winds of heaven. We can name them white wind of heaven from west、red wind of heaven from south、black wind of heaven from north and yellow (mixted colours)wind of heaven from centre or all around.
《Zechariah》9:14 And the Lord will be seen over them, and his arrow will go out like the thunder-flame: and the Lord God, sounding the war-horn, will go in the storm-winds of the South.
《Ezekiel》1:4 And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.
《Matthew》3:11 Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
《Ezekiel》1:5 And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.
《2 Samuel》22:11 And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
Explain:
The clouds of heaven are the Holy Spirit with the colour of electrum (white), so the Holy Spirit hides in clouds of sky.
The Lord God goes in the storm-winds of the South or a storm-wind of the north. The four Heavenly Emperors lived in the east、south、west、 and north respectively. the Holy Spirit is the heart of four Heavenly Emperor.
The Lord God incarnated himself into the forms of four living beings which can be named four beasts too. Actually, the four beasts are four Heavenly Emperors.
《Ezekiel》1:5 And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.
《Ezekiel》1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
《Ezekiel》1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the under sides of their feet were like the feet of oxen; and they were shining like polished brass.
《Ezekiel》1:8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
《Ezekiel》1:9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
《Ezekiel》1:10 As for the form of their faces, they had the face of a man, and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.
Explain:
The feet of oxen were shining, so oxen symbolized fire and lights.
Each of the Four Heavenly Emperors (the forms of four living beings) had four faces, representing the Four Spirits of Wood、 Fire、 Water 、and Soil of God. The heart of the Four Heavenly Emperors is the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is White Emperor.
《Ezekiel》10:6 And when he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the winged ones, then he went in and took his place at the side of a wheel.
《Ezekiel》10:12 And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.
《Ezekiel》10:14 And everyone had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
《Ezekiel》10:15 And the winged ones （the cherubim）went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.
《Revelation》4:6 And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.
《Revelation》4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second like an ox, and the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
《Revelation》4:8 And the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, who was and is and is to come.
Explain:
The four cherubim are the four living beings, and the four living beings are four beasts, so the cherubim are Heavenly Emperors. Although each of the Heavenly Emperors has four faces, but normally the Heavenly Emperors only show one of their faces.
For cherubim is the fire spirit of God, so the cherubim which likes an ox is Red Emperor.
The cherubim which likes a lion is the Cyan Emperor.
The cherubim which likes a man is the Black Emperor.
The cherubim which likes an eagle is the Yellow Emperor.
The white Emperor is God.
《Revelation》19:11 And the heaven was open; and I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it was named Certain and True; and he is judging and making war in righteousness.
《Revelation 》1:13 And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.
《Revelation 》1:14 And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Explain:
The man who seated on a white horse is White Emperor, and he is the God and the only son of God.
