When God shows up, you'll recognize it, and there's no hesitation in his movement.

📚 Historical Context

Ezekiel was a prophet and priest among the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, specifically by the river Chebar, where he first received visions of God's glory and cherubim. In Ezekiel chapter 1, he described these heavenly beings with distinct faces, and chapter 10 revisits a similar vision in the context of God's judgment on the temple in Jerusalem, emphasizing the continuity of divine revelation. This highlights God's sovereign presence amid the exile and the impending destruction of the city.
