Ezekiel Has Another Vision

In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day,
while I was sitting in my house
and the elders of Judah were sitting before me,
the hand of the Sovereign Lord came upon me there.
I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man.
From what appeared to be his waist down
he was like fire
and from there up
his appearance was as bright as glowing metal.
He stretched out what looked like a hand
and took me by the hair of my head.
The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven
and in vision of God
He took me to Jerusalem,
to the entrance to the north gate of the inner court,
where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood.
And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel,
as in the vision I had seen in the plain.

(Ezekiel 8:1-5)
