This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
likeness - understand, “of a man,” that is, of Messiah, the Angel of the covenant, in the person of whom alone God manifests Himself (Eze 1:26; Joh 1:18). The “fire,” from “His loins downward,” betokens the vengeance of God kindled against the wicked Jews, while searching and purifying the remnant to be spared. The “brightness ... upward” betokens His unapproachable majesty (1Ti 6:16). For Hebrew, eesh, “fire,” the Septuagint, etc., read ish, “a man.”
colour of amber - the glitter of chasmal [Fairbairn], (see on Eze 1:4, “polished brass”).
