Take a Look

On the fifth day of the sixth month in the sixth year,
I was sitting in my home. Judah’s leaders were
sitting in front of me.

The power of the Almighty Lord came over me.
As I looked, I saw something that looked like a human.
From the waist down its body looked like fire,
and from the waist up its body looked like glowing metal.
It stretched out what looked like a hand and
grabbed me by the hair on my head.

In these visions from God, the Spirit carried me
between heaven and earth.
He took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance to the north gate
of the inner courtyard of the temple.
That was where an idol that stirs up
⌞God’s⌟ anger was located.
There I saw the glory of Israel’s God
as I did in the vision that I saw in the valley.
Ezekiel 8:1-4 (GW)
