Ezekiel sees wheels beside the living creatures that move in the same direction as the creatures without turning Ezekiel 1:15–17.

Ezekiel saw a stormy cloud with flashing fire, four living creatures, and wheels moving in perfect coordination Ezekiel 1:4–21. Above them was an expanse, and above the expanse a throne with a humanlike figure surrounded by radiant glory Ezekiel 1:22–28. He identifies it as “the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD” Ezekiel 1:28.

God repeatedly addresses Ezekiel as “son of man” Ezekiel 2:1. In context, it is the form of address used when God commands him to stand and receive his mission Ezekiel 2:1–3.

Ezekiel announces “an end” upon the land and says God will judge according to their ways and abominations Ezekiel 7:2–4. The chapter repeats that disaster is near and that God’s eye will not spare Ezekiel 7:5–9. It also describes social collapse where silver and gold cannot deliver in the day of wrath Ezekiel 7:19.

Ezekiel calls what he saw “the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD” at the climax of the vision Ezekiel 1:28.

God appoints Ezekiel as a watchman for the house of Israel, telling him to hear God’s word and give warning from him Ezekiel 3:17.

God says Jerusalem defiled his sanctuary with detestable things, so he will withdraw pity and not spare Ezekiel 5:11. The chapter describes severe outcomes: famine, pestilence, beasts, and the sword Ezekiel 5:12. These judgments are said to be done in anger and wrath Ezekiel 5:13.

God says he will make Ezekiel’s face strong against their faces and his forehead strong against their foreheads Ezekiel 3:8.

This is given in the context of speaking God’s words to a rebellious house Ezekiel 3:10–11.

God says he will leave a remnant—some who escape the sword and are scattered among the nations Ezekiel 6:8.

Ezekiel describes four living creatures with humanlike form, each with four faces and four wings Ezekiel 1:5–6. Their movement is straight and unified, “wherever the spirit would go” Ezekiel 1:12. Later he identifies these living creatures as cherubim Ezekiel 10:20.

God tells Ezekiel he is not being sent to people of obscure speech, but to the house of Israel Ezekiel 3:5.

He describes them as “hard of forehead and stubborn of heart” Ezekiel 3:7.

God commands Ezekiel to bake his bread over human dung as a sign, and explains that it represents Israel eating unclean bread among the nations where they will be driven Ezekiel 4:12–13.

When Ezekiel sees the radiant throne vision and recognizes it as the glory of the LORD, he falls on his face Ezekiel 1:28. Then he hears “the voice of one speaking,” which leads directly into his prophetic commission Ezekiel 2:1.

God commands Ezekiel to lie on his left side for 390 days to bear the iniquity of the house of Israel Ezekiel 4:4–5. Then he must lie on his right side for 40 days to bear the iniquity of the house of Judah Ezekiel 4:6. The act is part of the sign of Jerusalem’s coming siege Ezekiel 4:1–3.

After Ezekiel eats the scroll, he reports that it was in his mouth “as sweet as honey” Ezekiel 3:3.

The text places the sweetness alongside his immediate sending to speak God’s words Ezekiel 3:4.

God tells Ezekiel to shave his head and beard, weigh the hair, and divide it into thirds Ezekiel 5:1.

God says Ezekiel is being sent to “the people of Israel” who have rebelled against him Ezekiel 2:3.

God tells Ezekiel he will be made mute and unable to reprove the people, because they are a rebellious house Ezekiel 3:26. He also says he will open Ezekiel’s mouth when it is time to speak the message Ezekiel 3:27. The text links Ezekiel’s speaking directly to God’s opening his mouth Ezekiel 3:27.
