The Vision of the Throne-Chariot (1:4-28) Ezekiel’s first vision comes when a stormy wind blew in from the north, bringing with it a shiny cloud that contains ‘Yahweh’s chariot borne by supernatural creatures’. These “four living creatures” are identified in Ezekiel 10:20 as cherubim.
What were Ezekiel's visions?
In his visions, he saw Jerusalem, its Temple, and its kingdom restored to their former glory; his detailed description of the future Temple, provided by an angel serving as a guide, would later be consulted by the actual builders of the Second Temple (Ezekiel 40-42).
What did Ezekiel see in his vision at his call?
Ezekiel is piling up one Old Testament allusion after another to tell you what it is he sees—the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. He’s seeing the kavod of the Lord! The Hebrew term kavod means “heavy.” It can be used metaphorically like, “that’s so heavy,” meaning weighty or significant.
