Part of the classic examples of how we as humans always depict these Celestial Beings through our works of art.
Let's Begin 📖
Also known as the Elders, they are a class of Celestial Beings mentioned by Paul the Apostle in Colossians 1:16, and they are also mentioned in the Book of Revelations as the 24 Elders.
They are the living symbols of God's justice and authority, symbolised as Thrones.
The Ophanim are referenced as Wheels seen in Ezekiel's vision of the Chariot in Ezekiel 1:15 - 21.
Also refer to Elijah's ascension.
"When they moved, the others moved; When they stopped, the others stopped; and when they rose from the Earth, the Wheels rose along with them; for the Spirit of the Living Creatures (The Cherubim) was in the Wheels."
According to Biblical description of these Celestial Beings, they have 4 faces:
One of a Man
An Ox
A Lion
And an Eagle
Have 4 Conjoined wings covered with eyes (Although Revelations 4:8 describes them with 6 wings like the Seraphim), a lion's body, and feet of oxen.
Exodus 25:17-22, 2 Chronicles 3:7-14, Ezekiel 10:12-14, Ezekiel 28:14-16, and Kings 6:23-28
They are literally translated as "Burning Ones". The word Seraph (singular) is normally a synonym for Serpents when used in the Hebrew Bible. The same Serpent that had to be carved so the Children of Israel could be saved from the Curse of Snakes in the wilderness.
On Earth they are directly linked to the Levite Ministry. Personally this brings so much grief to my heart because of how recklessly that ministry is handled.
A Levite is a Jewish male descended patrilineally from the Tribe of Levi, the third of son of Jacob and Leah.

#Cardano will be the underpinning of the emergence of Africa.
To grasp the full weight of the SOLUTIONS #Cardano can provide it is pertinent to read “Understanding Africa” as I will draw directly from the PROBLEMS laid out.

What I will attempt to do here, is to create an immersive world for you to be placed in to grasp the weight and size of problems from the ground level and then take a grass-roots approach at solving them using #Cardano and its technology.

As an investor and community member of #Cardano, this should be extremely important to you as you have a stake (pun intended) in this.

In Africa, agribusiness, more than any other sector, has the potential to reduce poverty and drive economic growth. Agriculture accounts for nearly half of the continent’s gross domestic product and employs 60 percent of the labor force.

Part 1 will layout the pervasive PROBLEMS Africa faces whereas Part 2 will apply direct technologies @InputOutputHK can implement as SOLUTIONS. pic.twitter.com/n3I91bnddq

This response to my tweet is a common objection to targeted advertising.
@KevinCoates correct me if I'm wrong, but basic point seems to be that banning targeted ads will lower platform profits, but will mostly be beneficial for consumers.
Some counterpoints 👇
1) This assumes that consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones.
This does not seem self-evident to me
Research also finds that firms choose between ad. targeting vs. obtrusiveness 👇
If true, the right question is not whether consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones. But whether they prefer *more* contextual ads vs *fewer* targeted
2) True, many inframarginal platforms might simply shift to contextual ads.
But some might already be almost indifferent between direct & indirect monetization.
Hard to imagine that *none* of them will respond to reduced ad revenue with actual fees.
3) Policy debate seems to be moving from:
"Consumers are insufficiently informed to decide how they share their data."
To
"No one in their right mind would agree to highly targeted ads (e.g., those that mix data from multiple sources)."
IMO the latter statement is incorrect.

That targeted ads allow for "free" products for consumers is a common talking point and we're going to see more of it in the coming months.: https://t.co/Xty3My3f0u (1/14)

Great post by @Sherman1890 got me thinking about the future of targeted ads.
— Dirk Auer (@AuerDirk) February 12, 2021
More and more tools (privacy labels, ad blockers, GDPR) enable consumers to opt-out from targeted ads - can limit the data platforms receive or block ads altogether.
