15 Burning Coals Cast on Jerusalem

Ezekiel hears the voice of God on His Throne in heaven but connected to the earth in divine sovereignty in His Temple. The Throne itself is the color blue as a sapphire, which appears to resemble the lapis lazuli stone. This vision is similar to that which was witnessed by Moses and the seventy elders (Exodus 24:10). God from His throne speaks to the man in linen who just anointed the foreheads of the righteous Israelites with an X. He tells Him to go between the flaming wheels, which are beneath the Cherubim and take out some burning coals. God tells the man to scatter them over the city. Ezekiel watched this as the man in linen came and got the burning coals. This is just like Ezekiel saw earlier and so did Isaiah when he was allowed a vision of the Throne of God in Heaven.
