Then Micaiah said, “Therefore, hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and the whole heavenly host was standing by Him at His right hand and at His left hand.

One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.

A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from His presence.
Thousands upon thousands served Him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The court was convened,
and the books were opened.

So the Angel of the Lord

spoke to those standing before Him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then He said to him, “See, I have removed your guilt from you, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

At the hour of incense the whole assembly of the people was praying outside.

All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,

Seraphims

and making the winds His messengers,
flames of fire His servants.

I looked and there was a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire, there was a gleam like amber.

And about the angels He says:

He makes His angels winds,

and His servants

a fiery flame,

Wings

The cherubim are to have wings spread out above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and are to face one another. The faces of the cherubim should be toward the mercy seat.

They had wings spread out. They faced each other and covered the mercy seat with their wings. The faces of the cherubim were looking toward the mercy seat.

One wing of the first cherub was 7½ feet long, and the other wing was 7½ feet long. The wingspan was 15 feet from tip to tip.

For the cherubim were spreading their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim covered the ark and its poles from above.

but each of them had four faces and four wings.

Each had four faces and each had four wings, with the form of human hands under their wings.

Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop, saying:

Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God, the Almighty,
who was, who is, and who is coming.

Covered his face

Then Abram fell facedown and God spoke with him:

Then He continued, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.

Suddenly, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

His feet

If God puts no trust in His servants
and He charges His angels with foolishness,

If God puts no trust in His holy ones
and the heavens are not pure in His sight,

That is what their faces were like. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching that of another and two wings covering its body.

Did fly

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs.

He rode on a cherub and flew,
soaring on the wings of the wind.

Praise the Lord,
all His angels of great strength,
who do His word,
obedient to His command.

When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them.

while I was praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the first vision, came to me in my extreme weariness, about the time of the evening offering.

I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!”

Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, having the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
