vision.
Ezekiel 1:5-14
Also out of
the midst thereof came the likeness of four living
creatures. And this was their appearance; they
had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces,
and every one had four wings. And their feet were
straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like
the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour
of burnished brass. And they had the hands of
a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four
had their faces and their wings. Their wings were
joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they
went every one straight forward. As for the likeness
of their faces, they four had the face of a lion, on the right
side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side;
they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were
their faces: and their wings were stretched upward;
two wings of every one were joined one to another,
and two covered their bodies. And they went every one
straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went;
and they turned not when they went. As for the
likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was
like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance
of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures;
and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance
of a flash of lightning. (KJV)
