For example in the beginning of the book, in the first 4 verses it says, <em>&#8220;The word of Jehovah came expressly to Ezekiel the priest&#8230;And I looked, and there came a storm wind from the north, a great cloud and a fire flashing incessantly; and there was a brightness around it, and from the midst of it, there was something like the sight of electrum, from the midst of the fire.&#8221;<\/em> These four items, the wind, the cloud, the fire and the electrum actually depict various aspects of how we experience God.  God is like a wind to us, He overshadows and broods over us like a cloud; At times He&#8217;s a burning refining fire to purify us; and He&#8217;s also like a shining glowing electrum of gold and silver depicting His divine nature and Christ&#8217;s redemption.  But if we genuinely experience God in these aspects, it will also produce something which we also come to today in verse 5, <em>&#8220;And from the midst of it there came a likeness of four living creatures.  And this was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Ezekiel (Program #4)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-08-09T06:05:46-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Ezekiel (Program #4) - The Four Living Creatures\r\n\r\nEzekiel is a book of figures or pictures that portrays spiritual things.
