1.6 Notes

• Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse,
  • Sparkling like ice and awesome.
• Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other,
  • And each had two wings covering its body.
• When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings,
  • Like the roar of rushing waters,
  • Like the voice of the Almighty,
  • Like the tumult of an army.
  • When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
• Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads
  • As they stood with lowered wings.
• Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire,
  • And high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.
• I saw that from what appeared to be his waist he looked like glowing metal,
  • As if full of fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.
• Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day,
  • So was the radiance around him.
• This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
  • When I saw it, I fell face-down, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

• The throne was of many colors
• Or gave this appearance because of its brilliance, just as a precious gemstone
• When viewing any finely cut gemstone, many colors will show through
• Colors from beyond the gemstone may pass through giving a different color
• Sapphire - blue represents the spirit or center
• Emerald - green represents human circle or the circle of 12
