Ezekiel 1:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 1:25

23 And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body.

24 ^aWhen they went, I heard the noise of their wings, ^blike the noise of many waters, like ^cthe voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings.

25 A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.

26 ^aAnd above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, ^bin appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above ^cit.

27 Also from the appearance of His waist and upward ^aI saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.

28 ^aLike the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. ^bThis was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when I saw it, ^cI fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
