Will Ezekiels Vision on the 5th of Tamuz (July 7th this year) and Johns Vision in Revelation be fulfilled this year?
[1] Now it came to pass in the thirtieth
year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth [day] of the month, as I
[was] among the captives by the River Chebar, [that] the heavens were
opened and I saw visions of God.
[2] On the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity,
[3] the word of the LORD came expressly
to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by
the River Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.
[4] Then I looked, and behold, a
whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire
engulfing itself; and brightness [was] all around it and radiating out
of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
[5] Also from within it [came] the
likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance: they
had the likeness of a man.
[6] Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
[7] Their legs [were] straight, and the
soles of their feet [were] like the soles of calves' feet. They sparkled
like the color of burnished bronze.
[8] The hands of a man [were] under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.
[9] Their wings touched one another. [The creatures] did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.
[10] As for the likeness of their faces,
[each] had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion
on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left
side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
[11] Thus [were] their faces. Their
wings stretched upward; two [wings] of each one touched one another, and
two covered their bodies.
[12] And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.
[13] As for the likeness of the living
creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, like the
appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures.
The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning.
[14] And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.
[15] Now as I looked at the living
creatures, behold, a wheel [was] on the earth beside each living
creature with its four faces.
[16] The appearance of the wheels and
their workings [was] like the color of beryl, and all four had the same
likeness. The appearance of their workings [was], as it were, a wheel in
the middle of a wheel.
[17] When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went.
[18] As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims [were] full of eyes, all around the four of them.
[19] When the living creatures went, the
wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up
from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
[20] Wherever the spirit wanted to go,
they went, [because] there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted
together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures [was] in the
wheels.
[21] When those went, [these] went; when
those stood, [these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the
earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of
the living creatures [was] in the wheels.
[22] The likeness of the firmament above
the heads of the living creatures [was] like the color of an awesome
crystal, stretched out over their heads.
[23] And under the firmament their wings
[spread out] straight, one toward another. Each one had two which
covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of
the body.
[24] When they went, I heard the noise
of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the
Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still,
they let down their wings.
[25] A voice came from above the firmament that [was] over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.
[26] And above the firmament over their
heads [was] the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire
stone; on the likeness of the throne [was] a likeness with the
appearance of a man high above it.
[27] Also from the appearance of His
waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the
appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His
waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with
brightness all around.
[28] Like the appearance of a rainbow in
a cloud on a rainy day, so [was] the appearance of the brightness all
around it. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the
LORD. So when I saw [it], I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One
speaking. - Ezekiel 1:1-28 NKJV
[6] Before the throne [there was] a sea
of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the
throne, [were] four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
[7] The first living creature [was] like
a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living
creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature [was]
like a flying eagle.
[8] [The] four living creatures, each
having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not
rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was
and is and is to come!"
[9] Whenever the living creatures give
glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives
forever and ever, - Revelation 4:6-9 NKJV
