⁴ When I looked, I saw a ·stormy wind [windstorm] coming from the north [^Cstorms often represent the presence of God; Jer. 23:19]. There was a great cloud with ·a bright light [or lightning flashing] around it and ·fire flashing out of [or brightness all around] it. Something that looked like glowing ·metal [or amber] was in the center of the fire. ⁵ Inside ·the cloud [or the fire; ^Lits midst] was what looked like four living creatures [Rev. 4:6–8], who ·were shaped like [had the appearance of] humans, ⁶ but each of them had four faces and four wings.
