Ezekiel 1,2
From Ezekiel's Journal

My name is Ezekiel and God called me to be His prophet to His people in Babylon.
The creatures I mentioned last time went in any one
of the four directions they faced, but straight, not curving this way or that.
The rims were huge, circled with eyes. When the living creatures went, the
wheels went. When the living creatures lifted off, the wheels lifted off.
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 creatures
stopped, the wheels stopped.
Over the heads of the
living creatures was something like a dome, shimmering like a sky full of cut
glass, over their heads. Under the dome one set of wings was extended toward
the others, with another set of wings covering their bodies. 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. When they stopped, they folded
their wings.
And then, as they
stood with folded wings, there was a voice from above the dome over their
heads.
Above the dome there
was something like a throne, sky-blue like a sapphire, with a humanlike figure
towering above the throne.
From what I could see,
from the waist up he looked like burnished bronze and from the waist down like
a blazing fire. Brightness everywhere! The way a rainbow springs out of the sky
on a rainy day—that’s what it was like. It turned out to be the Glory of God!
When I saw all this, I
fell to my knees, my face to the ground. Then I heard a voice. The voice said, "Stand up."
I'll tell you more next time.
