OUR FATHER WHOSE GLORY DEPARTED THE TEMPLE AS WITNESSED BY THE PROPHET EZEKIEL

The book of Ezekiel chapter 10 verses 9 - 10 says this;

And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone.  As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 

This passage describes a craft that the prophet Ezekiel saw in a vision.

It had four identicle complex wheels  and they were glowing with the color of beryl stones which are sparkling crystals that are often blue in color. This glow was like the phenomenon of the glow of radioactivity in water called Cherenkov radiation.

At each of these glowing wheels, there was a winged cherub that had managerial functions over each wheel and over the craft. Even though the cherubim had wings, the craft generated lift that carried the cherubim with it but the cherubim were the initiators of the velocity and direction that the wheels travelled as verse 15 - 16 says;

And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar. When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. 

At the point that Ezekiel was seeing this vision, the glory of the God of Israel was leaving the inner court of the temple and the craft then moved with the glory of God out to the outer court of the temple before departing.
