1 And it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of
the month1, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were
opened, and I saw visions of Elohim. 2 On the fifth of the month, the fifth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin the
king, 3 coming the Word of YAHUVEH existing, came to pass to Ezekiel, the son of Buzi,
the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar. And there the
hand of YAHUVEH was on him. 4 And I looked, and behold, a windstorm came out of the north, a great cloud,
and a fire flashing itself, and a brightness to it all around. And out of its
midst, like the color of polished copper it came, out of the midst of the fire.
(Ezek 8:2) 5 Also from its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was
how they looked2: they had the likeness of a man, 6 and four faces were to each, and four wings to each of them, 7 and their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their feet like the sole of
a calf's foot. And they sparkled like the color of burnished copper. 8 And the hands of a man extended from under their wings on their four sides.
And their faces and their wings were to the four of them, 9 joining each one to the other by their wings. They did not turn in their
going, each one went toward the front of their face. (Ezek 10:21-22) 10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and the face of a lion,
on the right side to the four of them; and the face of an ox on the left to the
four of them, and the face of an eagle to the four of them3. 11 So their faces were. And their wings were spread upward, to each, the two
wings were joined, and two wings of each covering their bodies. 12 And each went toward the front of their faces. To where the spirit was to go,
there they went; they did not turn in their going. 13 And the likeness of the living creatures: they appeared like coals of burning
fire, like the appearance of torches; it was continually circling among the
living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth
lightning. (Rev 4:5) 14 And the living creatures kept running and returning, like the appearance of a
flash of lightning. 15 And I looked at the living creatures, and, behold, one wheel was on the earth
beside the living creatures, with the four of its faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like the color of
beryl; and the one likeness was to the four of them. And their appearance and
their workmanship was like the wheel in the middle of the wheel. 17 They went on the four of their sides in their going, they did not turn in
their going. 18 And also their rims were high to them, even awesome to them. And their rims
were full of eyes all around the four of them. 19 And in the going of the living creatures the wheels went beside them. And in
the lifting up of the living creatures from on the earth, the wheels were lifted
up. 20 There where the spirit was to go, there they went; there their spirit was to
go, and the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living
creature was in the wheels. 21 In their going, these went; and in their standing still, these stood
still.And in their being lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up
along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 22 And a likeness was over the heads of the living creature, an expanse like the
color of awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads from above. 23 And under the expanse their wings were straight, the one toward the other, to
each, two wings covering on this side, and to each two covering on that side of
their bodies. 24 And I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of great waters, like the
voice of the Almighty. In their going was the sound of tumult, like the sound of
an army. In their standing still, they let down their wings. 25 And there was a voice from the expanse that was over their heads. In their
standing still, they let down their wings. 26 And from above the expanse that was over their heads was an appearance like a
stone of lapis sapphire, the likeness of a throne. And on the likeness of the
throne was a likeness in appearance like a man on it from above. 27 And I saw Him, like the color of polished copper, looking like fire within it
all around. From the appearance of His loins and upward, and from the appearance
of His loins and downward, I saw Him looking like fire; and brightness to it all
around1. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of the rain, so
appeared the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of
the glory of YAHUVEH. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of
One speaking.
Ezekiel 3:12
12 And the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a sound of a great tumult,
saying, Blessed be the glory of YAHUVEH from His place!
Acts 2:1–47
1 And in the fulfilling of the day of Shavuot, they were all with one mind in
the same place. 2 And suddenly a sound came out of the heaven, as a groaning spirit along by a
violent wind! And it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues as of fire appeared to them, being distributed, and it sat on each
one of them. 4 And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other
languages, as the Spirit gave ability to them to speak. 5 And Jews were living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation of those under
the heaven. 6 And when that sound occurred, all the people gathered and were perplexed
because they were hearing each man among them who were speaking in their own
language. 7 And all were amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, we can’t
grasp this, are not all these, those speaking, Galileans? 8 And how do we hear each in our own language in which we were born, 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those living in Mesopotamia, both
Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions of Libya over against
Cyrene, and the temporarily residing Romans, both Jews and proselytes, 1 11 Cretans and Arabians; in our own languages we hear them speaking the great
wonders of Elohim? 12 And all were amazed and puzzled, saying to one another, What could this be? 13 But ridiculing, others said, They are full of sweet wine. 14 But standing up with the eleven, Peter lifted up his voice and spoke out to
them, Men, Jews, and all those living in Jerusalem, let this be known to you,
and listen to my words: 15 For these are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which has been spoken by the prophet Joel, 17 "And it shall be in the last days, YAHUVEH says, I will pour from My Spirit
on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young
men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 And also I will pour out My Spirit on My servants and hand maids in those
days, and they shall prophesy. 19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and miraculous signs on the
earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the
Coming of the great and glorious day of YAHUVEH. 21 And it shall be that everyone who shall call on the name of YAHUVEH will be
saved." (Joel 2:28-32) 22 Men, Sons of Israel, hear these words: Yahshua the Nazarene, a Man from
Elohim, having been approved among you by works of power and wonders and
miraculous signs, which Elohim did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves
also know, 23 this man, who was set apart was for this, by the foreknowledge and will of
Elohim, you delivered into the hands of the wicked and you crucified and killed. 24 But Elohim loosed the cords of Sheol and raised Him because it was not
possible that He be held in Sheol. 25 For David said as to Him, "I always foresaw my Adonai before Me, because He
is at My right hand, that I not be moved. 26 For this reason My heart rejoiced, and My tongue was glad; and My flesh also
will dwell on hope, 27 because You will not leave My soul in Sheol, nor will You give Your righteous
one to see corruption. 28 You have revealed the road of life to me. You will fill me with gladness with
your presence. (Psa. 16:8-11) 29 Men, brothers, let me speak boldly with you to say to you as to the patriarch
David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us until this
day.1 30 For he was a prophet, and he had known the oaths that Elohim had sworn to
him, that of the fruit of your loins I shall establish a king upon your throne2.
(Psa. 132:11, 2Sam 7:12) 31 Foreseeing, he spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, "That His soul
was not left in sheol, nor did His corpse see corruption.3" (Psa. 16:10) 32 This Yahshua, Elohim raised up, of which we all are witnesses. 33 Then being exalted to the right of YAHUVEH, and receiving the promise of the
Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
(Acts 7:55-56, Ro 8:34, Heb 1:3) 34 For David did not ascend into Heaven4, but he says, "YAHUVEH said to my
Adonai, sit at My right hand 35 until I place those who are enemies to You as a footstool for Your feet."
(Psa. 110:1) 36 Then assuredly, let all the house of Israel acknowledge that YAHUVEH made
known this same Yahshua whom you crucified, He is both YAHUVEH and Messiah. 37 And hearing, they were touched in the heart, and said to Simon Peter and the
rest of the apostles, Men, our brothers, What shall we do? 38 And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, each of you in the name of
Yahshua YAHUVEH for the forgiveness of sins, that you may receive the gift of
the Spirit of Holiness. (Acts 22:16, Phil 2:11) 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as
many as the Master our Elohim shall call. 40 And with many other words he earnestly testified and exhorted, saying, Be
saved from this perverse generation. 41 And some of them readily received his words and believed and were baptized.
And there were added in that day about three thousand souls. 42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, and in
fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers1. 43 And fear came to every soul, and signs and many mighty deeds occurred by the
hands of the apostles in Jerusalem. 44 And all the believers were echad and had all things common. 45 And they sold possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according as
anyone had need. 46 And continuing steadfastly with one mind day by day in the sanctuary2, and
breaking bread from house to house, they shared food in gladness and simplicity
of heart, 47 they were praising YAHUVEH while finding favor before all the people. And
everyday our Master would add to those who lived among the congregation.
