Such a powerful vision. From Ezekiel's telling it sounds like you saw what he saw>>
I'd say it was a synopsis of what Ezekiel saw (just the faces, in profile and in succession as I was looking at them like crowds drifting across the sky, followed by the wheel. I wasn't familiar enough with the Bible att to know exactly who saw this, I was only aware that it was someone, like Daniel, in the OT. I was given this vision when I looked toward the east as, of course, I'd heard tell that this was the direction we'd ultimately see His coming but, I approached that endeavor with a genuine humility, and admittance that I was either being a fool or... genuinely offering... something? Even if it was just an honest seeking, seeking even while I didn't know nor ever could know by will alone. Those faces and the wheel were an answer to my question something like, 'which God am I to believe in? and how can I know Him?' but those were only a few images among all those I was shown. And it wasn't long that I found myself saying, "... I saw you coming..." of all the faces I saw "face to face"... but the most exciting thing about it all is, in the succession of these faces I was shown and met in the flesh... I wasn't compelled to lower my eyes in worship...that is, not until I saw the last face! It was as if I received a private screening of a debut blockbuster film, figuratively speaking, with all the elation and joy and.... I'm certain I have a pretty good idea of the experience of the feeling of rapture at His return.
