26 Por encima de esa bóveda había algo semejante a un trono de zafiro, y sobre lo que parecía un trono había una figura de aspecto humano.

Ezequiel 1:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:26

And above the firmament that [was] over their heads
The heads of the living creatures: [was] the likeness of a throne;
a symbol of Christ's kingly power and authority, who is the person that sat upon it; as he is God, he is on the same throne with his Father; as Mediator, he is King of saints, and was so from eternity; he exercised his office before his incarnation; and as he was prophesied of as a King, he came as one, though little known, and his kingdom was not with observation; upon his ascension he was declared Lord and Christ; and will appear on a throne, when he shall come to judge the world, and particularly in the New Jerusalem church state: and this throne was as the appearance of a sapphire stone;
which is a stone very clear and transparent; very hard, solid, and durable; very precious and excellent; and of an azure sky colour; denoting the clear manifestation of Christ's righteous judgments, in the ministration of his kingly office; the duration of his government; the excellency of it; and its heavenly nature and original: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness of the
appearance of a man above upon it;
this was no other than Christ; who, though he was not really man before his incarnation, yet often appeared in the form of a man; and, through his incarnation, he was found in fashion as a man; and was really man, though not a mere man; nor was the person here designed; for that was the appearance and likeness of the glory of the Lord, ( Ezekiel 1:28 ) ; and this shows, that when Christ, as man, had done his work, he should sit down upon his throne above the firmament, being made higher than the heavens,

Ezequiel 1:26 In-Context

24 Cuando los seres avanzaban, yo podía oír el ruido de sus alas: era como el estruendo de muchas aguas, como la voz del Todopoderoso, como el tumultuoso ruido de un campamento militar. Cuando se detenían, replegaban sus alas.
25 Luego, mientras estaban parados con sus alas replegadas, se produjo un estruendo por encima de la bóveda que estaba sobre sus cabezas.
26 Por encima de esa bóveda había algo semejante a un trono de zafiro, y sobre lo que parecía un trono había una figura de aspecto humano.
27 De lo que parecía ser su cintura para arriba, vi algo que brillaba como el metal bruñido, rodeado de fuego. De su cintura para abajo, vi algo semejante al fuego, y un resplandor a su alrededor.
28 El resplandor era semejante al del arco iris cuando aparece en las nubes en un día de lluvia. Tal era el aspecto de la gloria del SEÑOR. Ante esa visión, caí rostro en tierra y oí que una voz me hablaba.
