July 31st 593 B.C. fireclouds 1.png fireclouds 2.png jos3.gif I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, Ezekiel 1:4 fireclouds 2.png jos3.gif and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, but each of them had four faces and four wings. Ezekiel 1:5,6 cherubin.png cherubin.png cherubin.png cherubin.png cherubin.png Ezekiels Vision 4 Ezekiels Vision 3 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, Ezekiel 1:7,8 and their wings touched one another. (9a) Ezekiels Vision 3 Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. Ezekiel 1:9b,10 EzekielsVisionbyRaphael Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. Ezekiel 1:11,12 cherubim 2.png cherubim 2.png The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. cherubim ezekiel'sVision 4 Ezekiel 1:13,14 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. Ezekiels Vision 2a Ezekiel 1:15 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. Ezekiels Vision 2a Ezekiel 1:16 2whlanim 2whlanim 2whlanim 2whlanim As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. Ezekiels Vision 2a Ezekiel 1:17 2whlanim 2whlanim 2whlanim 2whlanim cherubim wheel Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KhKeQaL9Nnw/TnZQqtW2I7I/AAAAAAAABH4/SRF4MG2vfhA/s1600/WHEEL-WITHIN-WH EEL.jpg Ezekiels Wheel http://www.supernaturalresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ Ezekiels-Vision-.jpg Ezekiel 1:18,19 ezekiels Vision 2b Ezekiel 1:20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. ezekiels Vision 2b Ezekiel 1:21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. ezekiels Vision 2b Ezekiel 1:22,23 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. ezekiels Vision 2b Ezekiel 1:24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. http://a2.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/76/1fb6740b2f544b809aa95690c7040bac/l.jpg http://iainhunter.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/waterfall1.jpg mount%20sinai.jpg 16-battle.jpg http://ldolphin.org/ezekiel/ezekiel-vs.jpg Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. Ezekiel 1:25,26 http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3lqBn_bhj7g/Td7X09QGmYI/AAAAAAAABbk/HO2yq15wte0/s1600/EzekielsVision1 .jpg I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Ezekiel 1:27 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking. throne.jpg Ezekiel 1:28 http://ldolphin.org/ezekiel/ezekiel-vs.jpg What is going on here?
