Ezekiel 28:11-17

• Job 38:4-7 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?

declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the

the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted

for joy?

• Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground,

which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the

stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides

of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like

the most High.

Ezekiel 1:26-28 – “And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone:

and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is

in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about.

This was the appearance of the likeness of the

glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I

fell upon my face, and I heard a

voice of one that spake.”

Isaiah 6:1-3 – “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted

up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood

the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and

with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did

fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy,

holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is

full of his glory.”
