But Ezekiel knows that God is sovereign. After describing his first vision of God he says,
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
Ezekiel 1:28.
of the likeness
of the glory
of the LORD.
A few times removed and even so, he fell facedown in the fear of the LORD. What an amazing example of reverence, awe, obedience, faith, belief, fear of, trust in, love of and dependence upon the LORD.

I really like this very passage for this very reason. For me, it's like a picture of the definition of what awe and fear of the Lord is.
It's magnificent, isn't it.
Have you read Jean's definition of "fear of the Lord"? I'm sure she won't mind me linking to it...
