Micaiah went on: "Now listen to what the LORD says! I saw the LORD sitting on his throne in heaven, with all his angels standing beside him.

When the day came for the heavenly beings to appear before the LORD, Satan was there among them.

and a stream of fire was pouring out from it. There were many thousands of people there to serve him, and millions of people stood before him. The court began its session, and the books were opened.

The angel said to his heavenly attendants, "Take away the filthy clothes this man is wearing." Then he said to Joshua, "I have taken away your sin and will give you new clothes to wear."

while the crowd of people outside prayed during the hour when the incense was burned.

All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures. Then they threw themselves face downward in front of the throne and worshiped God,

You use the winds as your messengers and flashes of lightning as your servants.

I looked up and saw a windstorm coming from the north. Lightning was flashing from a huge cloud, and the sky around it was glowing. Where the lightning was flashing, something shone like bronze.

But about the angels God said, "God makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

The winged creatures are to face each other across the lid, and their outspread wings are to cover it.

The winged creatures faced each other across the lid, and their outspread wings covered it.

Both were of the same size and shape. Each had two wings, each wing 7 1/2 feet long, so that the distance from one wing tip to the other was 15 feet.

They were placed side by side in the Most Holy Place, so that two of their outstretched wings touched each other in the middle of the room, and the other two wings touched the walls.

Their outstretched wings covered the box and the poles it was carried by.

but each of them had four faces and four wings.

Two wings of each creature were spread out so that the creatures formed a square, with their wing tips touching. When they moved, they moved as a group without turning their bodies.

I heard the noise their wings made in flight; it sounded like the roar of the sea, like the noise of a huge army, like the voice of Almighty God. When they stopped flying, they folded their wings,

Each of them had four faces, four wings, and what looked like a human hand under each wing.

Each one of the four living creatures had six wings, and they were covered with eyes, inside and out. Day and night they never stop singing: "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come."

Abram bowed down with his face touching the ground, and God said,

I am the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." So Moses covered his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, "Elijah, what are you doing here?"

You are feared in the council of the holy ones; they all stand in awe of you.

God does not trust his heavenly servants; he finds fault even with his angels.

Why, God does not trust even his angels; even they are not pure in his sight.

Two wings of each creature were raised so that they touched the tips of the wings of the creatures next to it, and their other two wings were folded against their bodies.

Then one of the creatures flew down to me, carrying a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.

He flew swiftly on his winged creature; he traveled on the wings of the wind.

Praise the LORD, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says.

and moved, the wheels went with them. Whenever they spread their wings to fly, the wheels still went with them.

While I was praying, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the earlier vision, came flying down to where I was. It was the time for the evening sacrifice to be offered.

Then I looked, and I heard an eagle that was flying high in the air say in a loud voice, "O horror! horror! How horrible it will be for all who live on earth when the sound comes from the trumpets that the other three angels must blow!"

Then I saw another angel flying high in the air, with an eternal message of Good News to announce to the peoples of the earth, to every race, tribe, language, and nation.
