Ezekiel 1:1-14
Ezekiel saw the vision of the Lord.
Time: in thirtieth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month.
Place: the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar Chanel.
The hand of the Lord was upon him there.
The feature of the four living creatures. The four each had a human face, each had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of eagle.
The living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
This creatures are the cherubim.
Why?
Ezekiel was a priest of Israel.
When Ezekiel was in exile place where filled many idols, but he saw different vision from the Lord, the glory of the Lord. This is an unbelievable vision, indescribable feature. It is out of nature rule and above the plan of human being.
Human: manage God's creature, Ox: at home with power, Lion: powerful in animal, Eagle: powerful in birds
How?
The God do wonder and great thing above people, even under worse situation, all are under control of the Lord.
Our God is an awesome god
