The colour

I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.

and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were surrounded with gold filigree in their settings.

His body was like topaz, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.

A wheel

In appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.

He does great and unsearchable things,
wonders without number.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains;
Your judgments, like the deepest sea.
Lord, You preserve man and beast.

Lord my God, You have done many things—
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

Oh, the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!
How unsearchable His judgments
and untraceable His ways!

This is so God’s multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.
