Ezekiel 1:13
_ _ likeness ... appearance — not tautology. “Likeness” expresses the general form; “appearance,” the particular aspect.
_ _ coals of fire — denoting the intensely pure and burning justice wherewith God punishes by His angels those who, like Israel, have hardened themselves against His long-suffering. So in Isaiah 6:2, Isaiah 6:6, instead of cherubim, the name “seraphim,” the burning ones, is applied, indicating God’s consuming righteousness; whence their cry to Him is, “Holy! holy! holy!” and the burning coal is applied to his lips, for the message through his mouth was to be one of judicial severance of the godly from the ungodly, to the ruin of the latter.
_ _ lamps — torches. The fire emitted sparks and flashes of light, as torches do.
_ _ went up and down — expressing the marvelous vigor of God’s Spirit, in all His movements never resting, never wearied.
_ _ fire ... bright — indicating the glory of God.
_ _ out of the fire ... lightning — God’s righteousness will at last cause the bolt of His wrath to fall on the guilty; as now, on Jerusalem. |

The fire — This fire stood not still, but as the Hebrew is, Made itself walk up and down. It moved itself, which is too much to ascribe to creatures: God only moved all these living creatures. |
Ezekiel 1:7 And their feet [ were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [ was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

Daniel 10:5- 6 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins [ were] girded with fine gold of Uphaz: ... His body also [ was] like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
