Ezekiel 1

1 Thirtieth year. Fourth month. Fifth day. I sat with the people dragged from home, by the Chebar River. The sky ripped open! God showed me things no one had ever seen!

2 Fifth day of the month. Fifth year after they dragged King Jehoiachin away.

4 I looked up. A wild wind screamed down from the north! A huge cloud rolled toward me, shot through with flashes of fire! Bright light burned around the edges. And deep inside, something glowed like hot metal pulled from the fire!
