Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Ezekiel 1
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 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the 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 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.
²⁷ Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I 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 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
Ezekiel 2
¹ And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."
² Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.
³ And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.
⁴ For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ’Thus says the Lord God.’
⁵ As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse--for they are a rebellious house--yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.
