Ezekiel 10:20

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 Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

Every one them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.

In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.

Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,

Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
