Ezekiel:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I looked at the dome over the heads of the angels .
And I saw something that looked like a throne made of sapphire .
*
Jehovah said to the person dressed in linen : »
Go between the wheels under the angels and fill your hands with burning coals .
Then scatter them over the city .«
So he went between the wheels as I watched .
*
The angels were standing on the south side of the Temple as the person went .
A cloud filled the inner courtyard .
*
Jehovah
s glory rose from the angels to the entrance of the Temple .
The cloud filled the Temple ,
and the brightness of Jehovah
s glory filled the courtyard .
*
The sound of the angels '
wings was heard as far as the outer courtyard .
It was like the sound of the Almighty God when he speaks .
*
After Jehovah had commanded the person dressed in linen to take burning coals from between the wheels beside the angels ,
the person went in and stood beside one of the wheels .
*
One of the angels reached into the fire that was between the angels and took out some coals .
This angel put them in the hands of the person dressed in linen .
The person took them and left .
*
I saw that each creature had what looked like a human hand under each of its wings .
*
Then I looked ,
and behold ,
four wheels beside the angels .
There was one wheel beside each angel .
The appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a chrysolite stone .
*
All four of them had the same likeness in appearance ,
as if one wheel was within another wheel .
*
When they moved ,
they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went .
They followed in the direction that they faced ,
without turning as they went .
*
Their whole body ,
their backs ,
their hands ,
their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around .
The wheels belonged to all four of them .
*
The wheels were called in my hearing ,
the whirling wheels .
*
Each one had four faces .
The first face was the face of a cherub angel ,
the second face was the face of a man ,
the third the face of a lion ,
and the fourth the face of an eagle .
*
The angels rose .
These were the living creatures that I saw at the Chebar River .
*
When the angels moved ,
the wheels moved beside them .
When the angels lifted their wings to rise from the ground ,
the wheels did not leave their side .
*
When the angels stood still ,
the wheels stood still .
When the angels rose ,
the wheels rose with them .
The spirit of the living creatures was in them .
*
Then the glory of Jehovah left the Temple '
s entrance and stood over the angels .
*
The angels lifted their wings and rose from the ground .
I was watching them as they left with the wheels beside them .
The angels stood at the door to the east gate of Jehovah
s Temple ,
and the glory of the God of Israel was above them .
*
These are the living creatures that I saw under the God of Israel at the Chebar River .
I realized that they were angels .
*
Each had four faces and four wings ,
and under their wings were what looked like human hands .
*
Their faces looked exactly like the faces that I saw by the Chebar River .
Each one went straight ahead .
