Ezekiel 1 is the first chapter of the book of Ezekiel, in which the prophet describes an impressive view of God's glory in a car of fire. The chapter includes many impressive details, such as the four living creatures, the wheels full of eyes, and the bright light that surrounded everything. Below are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics covered in Ezekiel 1:
Revelation 4:6-7: "And there was before the throne as a sea of glass, similar to the crystal. And in the middle of the throne, and around the throne, four animals full of eyes, on and behind. First animal was a lion -like, and the second animal similar to a calf, and the third animal had the face as a man, and the fourth animal was similar to a flying eagle. " This verse describes the four living creatures, which are similar to those Ezekiel has seen in his vision.
Isaiah 6:1-4: "In the year when King Uzziah died, I also saw to the Lord sitting on a high and sublime throne; and his entourage filled the temple. Serafins were over him; each had six wings; With two covered their faces, and with two covered their feet, and with two flew. And they cried to each other, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. " This verse describes another impressive view of the glory of God, which also includes wings creatures.
Exodus 3:2-3: "And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in the middle of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned in the fire, and the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, Now: now I will turn there, and will see this great vision, because the bush does not burn. " This verse describes another impressive view of the divine presence in a flame of fire.
Daniel 7:9-10: "I was looking at some thrones, and an elder of days was settled; his clothes were white like snow, and the hair in his head like pure wool; his throne was of fire, and his wheels were burning fire. A river of fire managed and left him; thousands of thousands served him, and myriads of myriads were before him; the judgment was based, and the books opened ". This verse describes another impressive view of the divine presence in a throne of fire.
1 Kings 22:19: "Then Micaiah said, Therefore he hears the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and the whole army of heaven was around him, his right hand and to his left." This verse presents a vision of Micaiah about the heavenly throne and the heavenly army present around the throne. This vision can be related to the vision Ezekiel had in the first chapter of his book, where he describes a view of the heavenly throne and living beings around him.
