The prophet with the wildest visions in the Bible — wheels within wheels
A priest taken to Babylon in the first wave of exile who received intense, symbolic visions from God. He saw four-faced creatures, spinning wheels full of eyes, a valley of dry bones coming to life, and a massive Temple rebuilt. His ministry lasted over 20 years and addressed both the judgment of Jerusalem and the future restoration of Israel.
Ezekiel sees the wildest vision in the Bible — living creatures, spinning wheels, and the glory of God.
