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.
Then there came a voice
from above the expanse over their heads
as they stood with lowered wings.
Above the expanse over their heads
what what looked like a throne of sapphire,
and high above the throne
was a figure like that of a Man.
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.
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 face down,
and I heard the voice of One speaking.
He said to me, "Son of man,
stand up on your feet and I will speak to you."
As He spoke,
the Spirit came into me
and raised me to my feet,
and I heard Him speaking to me.
(Ezekiel 1:24-28; 2:1-2)
