Ezekiel Sees the Lord

's Glory

1-3

Five years after King Jehoiachin of Judah had been led away as a prisoner to Babylonia, I was living near the Chebar River among those who had been taken there with him. Then on the fifth day of the fourth month of the thirtieth year, the heavens suddenly opened. The Lord placed his hand upon me and showed me some visions.

4I saw a windstorm blowing in from the north. Lightning flashed from a huge cloud and lit up the whole sky with a dazzling brightness. The fiery center of the cloud was as shiny as polished metal,

5 of each creature were spread out and touched the wings of the creatures on either side. The other two wings of each creature were folded against its body.

12The four living creatures went wherever the Spirit led them, and they moved together without turning their bodies, because each creature faced straight ahead.

13

14The creatures themselves moved as quickly as sparks jumping from a fire.

15

16shining like chrysolite. Each wheel was exactly the same and had a second wheel that cut through the middle of it,

17so that they could move in any direction without turning.

18

19-21The creatures controlled when and where the wheels moved—the wheels went wherever the four creatures went and stopped whenever they stopped. Even when the creatures flew in the air, the wheels were beside them.

22-23 and sitting on the throne was a figure in the shape of a human.

27Ez 8.2. From the waist up, it was glowing like metal in a hot furnace, and from the waist down it looked like the flames of a fire. The figure was surrounded by a bright light,

28as colorful as a rainbow that appears after a storm.

I realized I was seeing the brightness of the Lord's glory! So I bowed with my face to the ground, and just then I heard a voice speaking to me.
