Ezekiel 1:3-28
the word of the Lord came directly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar Canal. And the Lord’s hand was on him there.I looked and there was a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire, there was a gleam like amber.The form of four living creatures came from it. And this was their appearance: They had human form,but each of them had four faces and four wings.Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, sparkling like the gleam of polished bronze.They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. All four of them had faces and wings.Their wings were touching. The creatures did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.The form of each of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left, and the face of an eagle.That is what their faces were like. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching that of another and two wings covering its body.Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, they went without turning as they moved.The form of the living creatures was like the appearance of burning coals of fire and torches. Fire was moving back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, with lightning coming out of it.The creatures were darting back and forth like flashes of lightning.When I looked at the living creatures, there was one wheel on the ground beside each creature that had four faces.The appearance of the wheels and their craftsmanship was like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same form. Their appearance and craftsmanship was like a wheel within a wheel.When they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.Their rims were large and frightening. Each of their four rims were full of eyes all around.So when the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels also rose.Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, the creatures went in the direction the Spirit was moving. The wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.The shape of an expanse, with a gleam like awe-inspiring crystal, was spread out over the heads of the living creatures.And under the expanse their wings extended one toward another. Each of them also had two wings covering their bodies.When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of mighty waters, like the voice of the Almighty, and a sound of commotion like the noise of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stood still, they lowered their wings.The shape of a throne with the appearance of sapphire stone was above the expanse. There was a form with the appearance of a human on the throne high above.From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. From what seemed to be His waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around Him.The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the form of the Lord’s glory. When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.

“ Son of man, wail over the hordes of Egypt and bring Egypt and the daughters of mighty nations down to the underworld, to be with those who descend to the Pit:

Ezekiel 10:1-22
Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim was something like sapphire stone resembling the shape of a throne that appeared above them.The Lord spoke to the man clothed in linen and said,“ Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with hot coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” So he went in as I watched.Now the cherubim were standing to the south of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherub to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the Lord’s glory.The sound of the cherubim’s wings could be heard as far as the outer court; it was like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.After the Lord commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,“ Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.Then the cherub reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took some, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.In appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction, without pivoting as they went.Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around.As I listened the wheels were called“ the wheelwork.”Each one had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them.When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.The cherubim lifted their wings and ascended from the earth right before my eyes; the wheels were beside them as they went. The glory of the God of Israel was above them, and it stood at the entrance to the eastern gate of the Lord’s house.These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Chebar Canal, and I recognized that they were cherubim.Each had four faces and each had four wings, with the form of human hands under their wings.Their faces looked like the same faces I had seen by the Chebar Canal. Each creature went straight ahead.

Revelation 11:3-6
I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.”These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies; if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.These men have the power to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy. They also have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every plague whenever they want.
