The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels
stood still, they lowered their wings. Ezekiel is
describing the Seraphim that each with six wings
and who is the highest in the hierarchy of angels
that minister at the throne of God in heaven.
I wonder if we can imagine what must in
some way, be an inadequate description of the
movement of the Seraphim. The voice of the
Almighty as a tumult of an army refers to either
the war-cry of two large armies screaming terror
as they run toward each other and or the noise of
a huge battle.
Ezekiel 40:3 again recounts that he saw a
man whose appearance was like bronze; he was
standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a
measuring rod in his hand. Again, in Ezekiel 43:2
he says that he saw the glory of the God of Israel
coming from the east. His voice was like the roar
of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with
his glory.
Now, to get a broader picture, let us not
pass the word glory too quickly because it speaks
of God. That is, it means the weighty importance
and shining majesty that accompanies God's
presence. The basic meaning of the Hebrew word
kabod is heavy in weight.
Compare 1 Samuel 4:18; Proverbs 27:3.
Revelations 2:18 "To the angel of the church in
Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God,
whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like
burnished bronze.” - Then in Revelations 10:1 John
