²⁶ Above the roof, there was something that looked like a throne. It was made of a blue jewel called sapphire. On the throne, high above, I saw something that looked like the shape of a man. ²⁷ The top part of his body shone like a fire with bright metal in the centre of it. The lower part of his body looked like flames of fire. All around the human shape, there was a very bright light. ²⁸ It shone with the colours of a rainbow in the clouds when there is rain. This bright light showed the glory of the Lord, who was there.

When I saw this, I bent down low with my face on the ground. I heard a voice that was speaking to me.
