15. I then noticed that on the ground beside each of the four living creatures was a wheel,
16. shining like chrysolite. Each wheel was exactly the same and had a second wheel that cut through the middle of it,
17. so that they could move in any direction without turning.
18. The rims of the wheels were large and had eyes all the way around them.
19-21. The creatures controlled when and where the wheels moved—the wheels went wherever the four creatures went and stopped whenever they stopped. Even when the creatures flew in the air, the wheels were beside them.
22-23. Above the living creatures, I saw something that was sparkling like ice, and it reminded me of a dome. Each creature had two of its wings stretched out towards the creatures on either side, with the other two wings folded against its body.
24. Whenever the creatures flew, their wings roared like an ocean or a large army or even the voice of God All-Powerful. And whenever the creatures stopped, they folded their wings against their bodies.
25. When the creatures stopped flapping their wings, I heard a sound coming from above the dome.
26. I then saw what looked like a throne made of sapphire, and sitting on the throne was a figure in the shape of a human.
27. From the waist up, it was glowing like metal in a hot furnace, and from the waist down it looked like the flames of a fire. The figure was surrounded by a bright light,
28. as colourful as a rainbow that appears after a storm.I realized I was seeing the brightness of the Lord's glory! So I bowed with my face to the ground, and just then I heard a voice speaking to me.
