"And behold, the man clothed in linen, which had the inkhorn by his
side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as Thou hast commanded
me."
THE VISION OF THE COALS OF FIRE AND THE VISION OF THE DEPARTING GLORY.
Chapter x.
After the Prophet had seen the marking of the faithful ones in the
doomed city, two other visions follow. They also relate to the impending
judgment of the doomed city. The first vision indicates the fire by
which the city would be consumed, and the second, another vision of the
glory, shows how that glory was gradually departing from Jerusalem. The
complete departure is recorded in the eleventh chapter.
I. The Vision of the Coals of Fire.
Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament of the cherubim there
appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of
the likeness of a throne. And he spake unto the man clothed with
linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even the under cherub,
and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim,
and scatter them over the city. And he went in my sight. Now the
cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in;
and the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord
went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house;
and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of
the brightness of the Lord's glory. And the sound of the cherubims'
wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the
Almighty God when he speaketh. And it came to pass, that when he had
commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between
the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood
beside the wheels. And one cherub stretched forth his hand from
between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim,
and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed
with linen; who took it, and went out (verses 1-7).
