As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. Such were their faces.<\/p>\n
Ezekiel 1:10-11<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I find myself trying to figure out where the eagle face was. I assume the human face was in the front, but it doesn’t actually say. If so, then the eagle would be in the back, right? But maybe not, I wish he was more clear. But I guess the point of the vision was to get his attention, to say by how shocking and awe inspiring it was that this is from God, pay attention.
\nI guess I wouldn’t have made a good prophet, eh?
\nEzekiel 1:28 – “Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.<\/em>” Hmm, a storm with lightning and fire, 4 mythical creatures, each with 4 faces and wings, each with some sort of a wheel within a wheel next to it with eyes all over it (“tall and awesome<\/em>“) all supporting a crystal like expanse with a sapphire like throne with a human like figure on it. All of this moving and hovering around, up and down with no visible means for it to turn and change direction, yet it was. All gleaming as if on fire.
\nYeah, falling on your face seems like the appropriate response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ezekiel 1:4-14 – This kind of ‘fantasy’ type of stuff is challenging for me to read.
