Into Focus

I have set things before you.
Allow me to bring them into proper focus.
I will open your heart more fully to my ways of measurement.
I will open your ears to hear beyond the words,
but in my Spirit. Don’t rush your decisions.


As I watched, I noticed a windstorm coming from the north
– an enormous cloud, with lightning flashing, such that
bright light rimmed it and came from it like glowing amber f
rom the middle of a fire. In the fire
were what looked like four living beings.

In their appearance they had human form, but each had four faces
and four wings. Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet
were like calves’ feet.

They gleamed like polished bronze. They had human hands
under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings
of the four of them, their wings touched each other;
they did not turn as they moved, but went straight ahead.

Their faces had this appearance: Each of the four had the face of a man,
with the face of a lion on the right,
the face of an ox on the left
and also the face of an eagle.

Their wings were spread out above them;
each had two wings touching the wings of one of the other beings
on either side and two wings covering their bodies.
Each moved straight ahead – wherever the spirit would go,
they would go, without turning as they went.

In the middle of the living beings was something like burning coals of fire or
like torches. It moved back and forth among the living beings.
It was bright, and lightning was flashing out of the fire.
The living beings moved backward and forward
as quickly as flashes of lightning.
