The Command to Scatter Fire
Ezekiel 10:1-7
1
And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.
2
And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3
Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
5
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6
When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7
Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.
