Ezekiel 43:2-4
43:2 I saw
the glory of the God of Israel
coming from the east;
the sound was like that of rushing water;
and the earth radiated
his glory.
43:3 It was like the vision I saw when he
came to destroy the city, and the vision I saw by the Kebar River. I threw myself face down.
43:4 The glory of the
Lord came into the temple by way of the gate that faces east.
Exodus 24:10
24:10 and they saw
the God of Israel. Under his feet
there was something like a pavement
made of sapphire, clear like the sky itself.
Isaiah 6:1-5
Isaiah’s Commission
6:1 In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw the sovereign master seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his robe filled the temple.
6:2 Seraphs stood over him; each one had six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and they used the remaining two to fly.
6:3 They called out to one another, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord who commands armies! His majestic splendor fills the entire earth!”
6:4 The sound of their voices shook the door frames, and the temple was filled with smoke.
6:5 I said, “Too bad for me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the Lord who commands armies.”
