Ezekiel 1:26-28 NASB
Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
The Son of God is previewed in the Old Testament. The fire of God is within Him and on Him, producing a radiance around this figure which is the glory of God. He takes on the appearance of a man.
There is only one sitting on the throne. The Father and Son are one.
The rainbow is a symbol of promise by God to mankind and all living creatures. Jesus is the promised one that will bring salvation to the earth.
