Revelation 4:6

In front of the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal.
[Once again, words are not enough. John sees something that resembles a sea. In the tabernacle, there was a small round bronze basin where the priests washed their hands and feet before performing their duties, see Ex. 30:17–18. It was made of bronze that had been used as mirrors, see Ex. 38:8. The water must have sparkled and reflected in the material so that it looked like a sea. When Solomon built the temple, the basin was enlarged to become a larger circular pool. Its diameter was 4.5 meters and its depth was just over two meters, and it is called "the sea," see 1 Kings 7:23. The next time John sees the sea of glass, it is mixed with fire, see Rev 15:2.]
In the center of the throne and around it stood four creatures (living beings, animals) that had eyes all around and within themselves. [The many eyes symbolize intelligence and that they watch over the throne.]
