Ezekiel 1:28

Study

       

28 As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

Commentary

 

Face like a man

  

In Revelation 4:7, a face like a man signifies affection of truth, and, more interiorly, wisdom. (Apocalypse Revealed 243, Apocalypse Explained 280)

Commentary

 

Beryl

  

A 'beryl,' as in Daniel 10:6, signifies the good of charity and faith. Beryl is a sparkling precious stone.
