Ezekiel the priest lived among the captives by the river Chebar. The heavens were opened, and Ezekiel says he saw visions of God. A stormy wind came from the north with a great cloud and bright fire.

In the middle he saw four living creatures. Each one had four faces and four wings. They went straight forward and did not turn. Beside each one was a wheel, like a wheel within a wheel. Where the spirit went, they went.

Above them was something like a throne, as blue as a sapphire stone. All around was a brightness like a rainbow in the clouds. Ezekiel says this was the likeness of Yahweh's glory. When he saw it, he fell on his face.

Visions of God

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel 1 begins in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity. Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, was living with the captives by the river Chebar in the land of the Chaldeans. Yahweh's word came to him, and he says he saw visions of God.

He describes a stormy wind, a great cloud, and flashing fire. In it were four living creatures. Each had the face of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle. Beside them were wheels whose rims were full of eyes. When the creatures moved, the wheels moved with them, because the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

Over their heads was an expanse like crystal. Above it was the likeness of a throne, and on it a likeness like a man, with fire and brightness all around. The brightness was like a rainbow in the cloud on a rainy day. Ezekiel says this was the appearance of the likeness of Yahweh's glory, and he fell on his face.

Ezekiel 1 · Grade 5

The Likeness of Yahweh's Glory

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel's book opens with a date: the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day. Ezekiel was a priest, but he was not in Jerusalem near the temple. He was among the captives by the river Chebar in Babylonia. There, he says, the heavens were opened and he saw visions of God, and Yahweh's hand was on him.

The vision is full of movement and light. A stormy wind brought a great cloud, with fire flashing and glowing metal in the middle. Ezekiel describes four living creatures with four faces and four wings, sparkling like burnished bronze. They went straight forward wherever the spirit was to go. Beside them were wheels, a wheel within a wheel, with high rims full of eyes. The noise of their wings was like great waters, like the voice of the Almighty.

Above an expanse like crystal was the likeness of a throne like sapphire, with a likeness like a man on it. Fire and brightness surrounded him, like the rainbow in the cloud on a day of rain. Ezekiel is careful with his words: this was the appearance of the likeness of Yahweh's glory. Even among the captives, far from the temple, God showed his glory, and Ezekiel fell on his face. In the New Testament, Revelation 4:3 describes a rainbow around the throne in heaven: There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.

Show What You Know

  1. Why is it surprising that Ezekiel saw God's glory by the river Chebar?

  2. What did the noise of the wings sound like?

  3. Why does Ezekiel use words like likeness and appearance?

  4. What New Testament verse also describes a rainbow around the throne?
