Origen, on Ezek 1:28

“As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.”

“It is clear … that Ezekiel saw the cherubim and their course, and the firmament above them and the one seated on the throne. What could be more glorious and exalted than these things?”
