I looked up and saw something that appeared to be a throne made out of lapis lazuli. It was above the huge space that was spread out over the heads of the cherubim.

我观看，见基路伯头上的穹苍之中，显出蓝宝石的形状，仿佛宝座的形像。

I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim.

Then I looked, and behold, on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something like a sapphire, in appearance like a throne.

In my vision I saw what appeared to be a throne of blue lapis lazuli above the crystal surface over the heads of the cherubim.

Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim was something like a throne with the appearance of lapis lazuli.

Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.

And I looked, and there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim was something like sapphire stone resembling the shape of a throne that appeared above them.

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

As I watched, I saw on the platform above the top of the cherubim something like a sapphire, resembling the shape of a throne, appearing above them.

Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a street made out of lapis lazuli. It was as bright blue as the sky itself.

At once the Holy Spirit gave me a vision. There in front of me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.The one who sat there shone like jasper and ruby. Around the throne was a rainbow shining like an emerald.

He has gone into heaven. He is at God’s right hand. Angels, authorities and powers are under his control.

The men turned away and went toward Sodom. But Abraham remained standing in front of the Lord.

So Jacob was left alone. A man wrestled with him until morning.

Many days later the Lord said to me,“ Go to Perath. Get the belt I told you to hide there.”

Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. So he quickly left the entrance to his tent to greet them. He bowed low to the ground.

Then the Lord said,“ Should I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

God showed. He showed this when he raised Christ from the dead. God seated him at his right hand in his heavenly kingdom.

I will go up to the lookout tower. I’ll station myself on the city wall. I’ll wait to see how the Lord will reply to me. Then I’ll try to figure out how his reply answers what I’ve complained about.

In the middle of them was someone who looked“ like a son of man.”( Daniel 7:13) He was dressed in a long robe with a gold strip of cloth around his chest.

God has come with tens of thousands of his chariots. He has come with thousands and thousands of them. The Lord has come from Mount Sinai. He has entered his holy place.When he went up to his place on high, he took many prisoners. He received gifts from people, even from those who refused to obey him. The Lord God went up to live on Mount Zion.

Then the cherubim spread their wings. The wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was above them.

Something that looked like a huge space was spread out above the heads of the living creatures. It gleamed like crystal. It was terrifying.The wings of the creatures were spread out under the space. They reached out toward one another. Each creature had two wings covering its body.When the living creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings. It was like the roar of rushing waters. It sounded like the thundering voice of the Mighty God. It was like the loud noise an army makes. When the creatures stood still, they lowered their wings.Then a voice came from above the huge space over their heads. They stood with their wings lowered.Above the space over their heads was something that looked like a throne made out of lapis lazuli. On the throne high above was a figure that appeared to be a man.

No one has ever seen God. But the One and Only is God and is at the Father’s side. The one at the Father’s side has shown us what God is like.

When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword. He was ready for battle. Joshua went up to him. He asked,“ Are you on our side? Or are you on the side of our enemies?”“ I am not on either side,” he replied.“ I have come as the commander of the Lord’ s army.” Then Joshua fell with his face to the ground. He asked the man,“ What message does my Lord have for me?”The commander of the Lord’ s army replied,“ Take off your sandals. The place you are standing on is holy ground.” So Joshua took them off.

Then another message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said,

These were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River. I had seen them beneath the God of Israel. I realized that they were cherubim.

He stood on the cherubim and flew. The wings of the wind lifted him up.

“ My master!” the guard shouts back.“ Day after day I stand here on the lookout tower. Every night I stay here on duty.Look! Here comes a man in a chariot! It’s being pulled by a team of horses. He’s calling out the news,‘ Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the statues of its gods lie broken in pieces on the ground!’ ”

So Jacob named the place Peniel. He said,“ I saw God face to face. But I’m still alive!”

Speak to the king and his mother. Tell them,“ Come down from your thrones. Your glorious crowns are about to fall from your heads.”The gates of the cities in the Negev Desert will be shut tight. There won’t be anyone to open them. Everyone in Judah will be carried away as prisoners. You will be completely taken away.Jerusalem, look up! Your enemies are coming from the north. Where is the flock you were supposed to take care of? Where are the sheep you were so proud of?You have worked hard to make special friends. But the Lord will let them rule over you. Then what will you say? Suffering will take hold of you. It will be like the pain of a woman having a baby.Suppose you ask yourself,“ Why has this happened to me?” It’s because you have committed so many sins. That’s the reason your skirt has been torn off. That’s why your body has been treated so badly.

Abraham said,“ I have been very bold to speak to the Lord. What if only 20 can be found there?” He said,“ If I find 20, I will not destroy it.”

Then the Lord said to Joshua,“ I have handed Jericho over to you. I have also handed over to you its king and its fighting men.
