Ezekiel 1:3-28
the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the Lord came upon him.)As I looked, behold, a high wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing intermittently and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like gleaming metal in the midst of the fire.And within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form.Each of them had four faces and four wings.Their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf’s hoof, and they sparkled like polished bronze.Under their wings on their four sides were human hands. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward.As for the form of their faces, each had a human face; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle.Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies.And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went.In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire.And the living beings ran back and forth like bolts of lightning.Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the ground beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling topaz, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved.As for their rims, they were high and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were covered with eyes all around.Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose just as they did; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.Whenever those went, they went; and whenever those stopped, they stopped. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose just as they did; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other.And I also heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of a crowd like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stopped, they let down their wings.And a voice came from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they let down their wings.Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.Then I noticed from the appearance of His waist and upward something like gleaming metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.Like the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

Ezekiel 10:1-22
Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said,“ Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he entered in my sight.Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner courtyard.Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer courtyard, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.And it came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,“ Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he entered and stood beside a wheel.Then the cherub reached out with his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some coals and put them into the hands of the one clothed in linen; and he took them and went out.The cherubim appeared to have something like a human hand under their wings.Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.And as for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.When they moved, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.And their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were covered with eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.The wheels were called, as I heard, the whirling wheels.And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a human, the third, the face of a lion, and the fourth, the face of an eagle.Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would move beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels themselves would not turn away from beside them.When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, because the spirit of the living beings was in them.Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the ground in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands.As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.

Revelation 11:3-6
And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
