It was a vision of this character (an open vision) in which the hand of the Lord was upon the prophet Ezekiel. As the elders of Judah sat before him, they beheld him in open vision. 8Ezekiel 8:1. On another occasion the prophet Daniel was taken off in vision in the midst of the Chaldean rulers. Had they remained, they might have seen him in vision, but, instead, “a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.” 9Daniel 10:7. GSAM 457.2
