They’re hardened rebels.Ĩ “Only take care, son of man, that you don’t rebel like these rebels. Don’t be afraid of their mean words or their hard looks. Don’t be afraid when living among them is like stepping on thorns or finding scorpions in your bed.
But don’t be afraid of them, son of man, and don’t be afraid of anything they say. Whether or not they listen, at least they’ll know that a prophet’s been here. Tell them, ‘This is the Message of God, the Master.’ They are a defiant bunch. They’re a hard case, these people to whom I’m sending you-hardened in their sin. They and their ancestors have fomented rebellion right up to the present. As he spoke to me, I listened.ģ-7 He said, “Son of man, I’m sending you to the family of Israel, a rebellious nation if there ever was one. I have something to say to you.”Ģ The moment I heard the voice, the Spirit entered me and put me on my feet. Then I heard a voice.Ģ It said, “Son of man, stand up. When I saw all this, I fell to my knees, my face to the ground. Brightness everywhere! The way a rainbow springs out of the sky on a rainy day-that’s what it was like. From what I could see, from the waist up he looked like burnished bronze and from the waist down like a blazing fire.
Above the dome there was something that looked like a throne, sky-blue like a sapphire, with a humanlike figure towering above the throne. When they stopped, they folded their wings.Ģ5-28 And then, as they stood with folded wings, there was a voice from above the dome over their heads. When they moved I heard their wings-it was like the roar of a great waterfall, like the voice of The Strong God, like the noise of a battlefield. Under the dome one set of wings was extended toward the others, with another set of wings covering their bodies.

When the creatures went, the wheels went when the creatures stopped, the wheels stopped when the creatures lifted off, the wheels lifted off, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.Ģ2-24 Over the heads of the living creatures was something like a dome, shimmering like a sky full of cut glass, vaulted over their heads. Wherever the spirit went, they went, the wheels sticking right with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the living creatures went, the wheels went when the living creatures lifted off, the wheels lifted off. The rims were immense, circled with eyes. It looked like they were wheels within wheels, like a gyroscope.ġ7-21 They went in any one of the four directions they faced, but straight, not veering off. This is what the wheels looked like: They were identical wheels, sparkling like diamonds in the sun. The creatures flashed back and forth like strikes of lightning.ġ5-16 As I watched the four creatures, I saw something that looked like a wheel on the ground beside each of the four-faced creatures. Tongues of fire shot back and forth between the creatures, and out of the fire, bolts of lightning. They didn’t turn as they went.ġ3-14 The four creatures looked like a blazing fire, or like fiery torches. The wings were spread out with the tips of one pair touching the creature on either side the other pair of wings covered its body. They turned neither one way nor the other they went straight forward.ġ0-12 Their faces looked like this: In front a human face, on the right side the face of a lion, on the left the face of an ox, and in back the face of an eagle. All four had both faces and wings, with the wings touching one another. On all four sides under their wings they had human hands. Their legs were as sturdy and straight as columns, but their feet were hoofed like those of a calf and sparkled from the fire like burnished bronze. Each had the form of a human being, but each also had four faces and four wings. Within the fire were what looked like four creatures vibrant with life. God’s hand came upon him that day.)Ĥ-9 I looked: I saw an immense dust storm come from the north, an immense cloud with lightning flashing from it, a huge ball of fire glowing like bronze. On the fifth day of the fourth month, the sky opened up and I saw visions of God.Ģ-3 (It was the fifth day of the month in the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin that God’s Word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, on the banks of the Kebar River in the country of Babylon. 1 When I was thirty years of age, I was living with the exiles on the Kebar River.
