Ezekiel 10 · Grade 4

The Glory at the Threshold

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel says he looked and saw above the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, like a throne. The man in linen was told to take coals of fire from the wheels. He was to scatter them over the city. This was a sign that judgment was coming.

Yahweh's glory mounted up from the cherub and stood over the threshold of the house. The house was filled with the cloud, and the sound of the cherubim's wings was like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

Ezekiel describes the cherubim again. Each had four faces and four wings, with hands under the wings. Their wheels were full of eyes. He knew they were the same creatures he had seen by the river Chebar. Then the glory moved again. It stood over the cherubim at the east gate.

Ezekiel saw that the same glorious God was with him by the river and in Jerusalem. How does it help to know God is the same everywhere?
