As the prophet looked a whirl. wind come out oi the north and a cloud and lire iniqlding iiseii and a~ brightness was about it. and the brightness irom the midst. oi the iire was the color oi amber. From the midst oi this brightness came the iour living creatures, the cheru- bim with their wonderiul iaces and wings. One lace was the iaoe oi a man. another the iace oi a lion, the thlrd- wag the iace oi an, ox, the iourth was the race oi aneagle. Thus there was displayed their in- delligence, boldness, patience. and ewiitness. Then under the wings were the hands oi a man. They in- telligently moved along in ‘their service to God. Where the Spirit led them, whither the Spirit was to lead they went. lt was a wcndsriul vision. See chapter 1.‘ When the prophet saw...these maniiestations oi Divine power he iell upon. his i-sce, and there came to him the voice oi God giving him instruc- rtions as to his ministry. His minis- try was to be a disappointing one. The exiles were expecting to go backsoon to_ their own lend, and to the holy city Jerusalem, and the Temple. Ezekiel had to tell them that they would not return thither. His first act was to portray Jerusalem besieged by its enemies. (Chap, l).
