Ezekiel’s Vision of God
An Ontological Exegesis
Imagine a vast expanse, a cosmic ocean stretching out to infinity.
Above, a crystalline dome arches across the heavens, its surface shimmering with an otherworldly light. This is the firmament, the boundary between the earthly and the transcendent, a liminal space where the eternal and the temporal intersect (Ezekiel 1:22–26).
Amid this awe-inspiring vista, a figure emerges — a man, yet more than a man.
His eyes blaze with the fire of sacred knowledge, his countenance radiant with the glory of the absolute.
This is Ezekiel, the prophet, the Son of Man, chosen by God to witness the mysteries of the cosmos and the secrets of the human soul (Ezekiel 2:1–3).
As Ezekiel gazes upon the firmament, he beholds a throne of sapphire, and upon it, the likeness of a man, a consecrated being whose presence fills the heavens and the earth. This is the Lord, the creator of all things, the source of all wisdom and power (Ezekiel 1:26–28).
In this moment of profound revelation, Ezekiel is transformed, his very being suffused with the absolute essence. He becomes a living conduit of transcendental wisdom, a vessel for transmitting sacred truths that will echo through the ages (Ezekiel 3:1–3).
