Of the many fascinating scriptural descriptions of heavenly things, chapters 1 and 10 of Ezekiel is by far the most stunning and complex. Ezekiel had to describe in the Hebrew language something he saw – something so incredible and foreign as to defy description. Yet describe it he did, though the account leaves modern commentaries equally confused, with some indulging in various allusions on the subject.
If we really want to understand what Ezekiel experienced, we need to allow the Bible to be our guide. Ezekiel begins by describing an incredibly fiery spectacle. “And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself [a fire inside a fire], and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire” (verse 4).
This was some of the most intense brightness you can imagine — a mass of fire concentrated in a vast cloud, so that the flames might be more accurately and distinctly observable. Yet the fire never escaped from the cloud (Adam Clarke’s Commentary). The fire “infolding” forms a circle of light, with flames that were moving round and round as "flashes of light" and following each other in rapid succession (Barnes’ Commentary). The color of amber?in the center of the cloud is from the Hebre word?ηλεκτρον, translated as very bright, and?made of gold and brass. (John Gill’s Exposition of the Bible).
The living creatures – Cherubims
UFO enthusiasts describe the vision as a perennial example of ancient contact with extraterrestrial beings — supposed alien astronauts who visited the Earth in antiquity. However, they gloss over some important facts in trying to tie down this vision into the physical sphere. Let’s consider the living creatures (or Cherubs) within the flaming cloud. Though having the form of men, they have two sets of wings, four faces, and feet like calves’ hooves. Our aficionados believe that the four faces are the faces of different alien beings looking out of different windows of the spacecraft. This however is a somewhat crude and simplistic description, especially in light of Ezekiel being very precise and particular in describing what he saw.
“Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle” (verses 5-10).
By comparing the description of the living creatures in Ezekiel to that of the living creatures that surround the throne of God in Revelation 4, one quickly realizes that the scenes witnessed by Ezekiel were visions of God and His spiritual host of heaven...“As with the cherubim flanking the Holy of Holies, the wings of the living creatures in Ezekiel’s vision touch each other. This is why King Solomon overlays the cherubim with gold, while the living creatures sparkle like burnished bronze. The four faces of the creatures in Ezekiel’s vision too hearken back to the cherubim and to Solomon’s temple. Lions and bulls are frequently mentioned as part of the imagery of the temple interior (1 Kings 7:25, 29, 36). Cherubim were often depicted as having men’s heads, the bodies of either lions or bulls — sometimes a lion’s fore parts and a bull’s hindquarters (hence the calf’s feet of living creatures of Ezekiel 1:7) — and the wings of eagles sprouting from their lion or bull shoulders.”
The ordinary angels apparently resemble men. But cherubim (Michael or Gabriel) are not ordinary angels—“every one has four faces.” So the living creatures of Ezekiel’s vision were not bizarre four-faced space aliens. Nor were they neither a depiction of different alien species looking out of the portholes of a spaceship. They were cherubims.
If those who want to see the living creatures as space aliens would read more of Ezekiel they would find an almost identical vision in Ezekiel 10:20. There the prophet clearly identifies the beings as cherubim, and says in verse 15 that they were the living beings he saw in his first vision.
“This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubim.”?All four were intertwined as one for “their wings were joined one to another” (Ezek 1:9).
The appearance of these living creatures (cherubim), was apparently highly impressive—they were lit up like fire, with lightning coming out of the fire! Not an ordinary sight.
“….their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning” (verse 13).
Now, these cherubim had a job to perform, which meant they transported this vehicle, evidently at the speed of light.
“And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning” (verse 14). “And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings” (verses 14, 24).
Ezekiel saw this great, luminous vehicle with windows ("and the wheels or (flying saucers) were full of eyes (windows) round about, even the wheels that they four had." Ezekiel 10:12) and revolving wheels moving at lightning speed. It never had to turn; it would move instantly in any direction (just like we see UFOs do)—like lightning darting around. This vehicle was so awesome Ezekiel had trouble even explaining it.
Vision contained throne and appearance of God
Now focus on the next couple of points, because they are truly breathtaking!
Ezekiel’s vision included a view of God’s throne. “Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as?the appearance of the likeness of a throne” (Ezekiel 10:1).
Look closely at what was on top of God’s amazing transportation system.
“…. and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it” (Ezek. 1:25-26).
Imagine – the great God of Ezekiel 1- sitting on His throne on top of this amazing transportation system, looks like a man. Study Genesis 1, and you know that mortal?man?was made in the image and likeness of God. Is there a connection? Well interstingly enough last night I was watching a YouTube video that was explaining in a very "remarkable" way how ALL humans have the same numerical pattern and sequence in our DNA as the "NAME OF GOD": YHWH has! How about that? Simply AMAZING, DUMBFOUNDING and "mind-boggling" isn't it?
Do you want to know what God really looks like? Read on closely.
“And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had a HUGE brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain [a rainbow], so was the appearance of the brightness round about.
This was the appearance of the likeness of?the glory of the Lord.
And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake” (Ezekiel 1:27?28).
Compare this description with Revelation 1 to get an idea of how impressive God is to behold! This is the God of the Bible. This is not some nebulous cloud, or a phony "humanoid" alien being. This is the God of the Bible! This is what He looks like and how He travels. Do you know?this?God?
Wheel within a wheel
In the book of Ezekiel while the prophet Ezekiel was by the river Chebar he saw revelations of God and His Throne along with "flying saucers" that were guided by CHERUBIM! (Ezekiel 1:1) From verses 4 to 14 he describes the "Four Living Creatures" or Cherubim of God in full detail. Then in verses 15-21 this is what he describes:?"Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel (flying saucer) upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a (small ) wheel in the middle of a (bigger) wheel (he is in fact describing a flying saucer). When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings (a wheel inside a wheel), they were so high that they were very dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round a bout them four."?Just like the flying saucer pictured below:
Continuing now verses 19-21: "And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them (just like you have police escorts today): and when the Cherubim (the living creatures) were lift up from the earth, the wheels were lift up (the same way that the "fallen angels" manipulate their flying saucers when they enter from the spiritual realm and dimension into the earth's atmosphere and we called them UFOs). Withersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the Cherubim or living creature was in the wheels (angels are "spirit beings" that can transform and "shapeshift" into any object at will as we will see ahead). When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, then the wheels were lifted up over gainst them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels (shapeshifted to a flying saucer)."
In Chapter 2 verses 3-10 and in Chapter 3 verses 1-11: God gave instructions to the prophet Ezekiel that truly pertain to me in these END TIMES! Since I was called by God to carry about the Ezekiel commision now at the time of the END, and the "ELIJAH WORK" as well, I believe that God will send one of these "flying saucers" or angels to me sometime in July and they will fly me into Israel as you can read in verses 14-15:?"So the spirit took me up (compare with verse 20 of chapter 1), and took me away (just like God did with Enoch and Elijah before in ancient times), and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-Aviv (the old capital of Israel), that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days."?So I guess this is how God plans to transfer me to Israel soon so I could be there for seven days waiting for my other partner and prophet to show up alongside with me so we can fulfill the work of the TWO WITNESS just like the other two we have seen lately in Rome dressed in sackcloth as decribed in Revelation, 11:3-13:?"And I will give power unto my witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed."
So what is the significance of the wheels or flying saucers of the living creatures or Cherubim? It may be that it is unusual for a wheel (spaceship or flying saucer) to be associated with our modern view of a throne. But I want you to take a look at the following scripture speaking of God: "And He rode (on His Throne) upon a Cherub (that had shape-shifted into a flying saucer), and did fly: yea, He did fly upon the wings of the wind." Psalm 18:10. Or how about this one: "There is none like unto the God of Jeshurum, who rideth (inside a Cherub turned and shape-shifted into a flying saucer), upon the heaven in thy help, and in His excellency on the sky." Deut. 33:26. Now as far as the description of these "flying saucers" or wheels, the Commentaries make it to be one traversing inside of the other. They determined four directions to which the Spirit beings "shape-shifted" into flying saucers were darting to whatever direction they were commanded (Ezek. 1:16, 17), without turning. As for the “engineering” aspect of the wheels, our human understanding can’t help much since we are dealing with supernaturally-composed matter.
The?Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary?gives this description:
” . . . each wheel was composed of two circles cutting one another at right angles, ‘one’ only of which appeared to touch the ground (“upon the earth” ) “.
The biblical description, “a wheel in the middle of a wheel”, however, would indicate the one inside to be smaller than the other. Just as we see pictured below:
Two more important facets are depicted. The first facet is that the “rings were full of eyes” (or lights as you can see in the image above) (verse 18).
The other facet of the wheel was their rings (rims) were high and dreadful (verse 18). As far as the geometrical shape is concerned it is not clear whether it means a fantastic size of spokes (wheel diametrically large) or the depth of the ring.
Conclusion
It’s easy to speculate on the subject of this vision because we really don’t have all the answers. It is only when the vision is rendered in translation, rather than in the original Hebrew, that makes it possible for us today to understand how angels can "shape-shift" into spaceships. What we do know is that God gave the vision so that we could visualize somewhat in our minds eye the glory associated with this great Being, His appearance and His mode of travel.
If anyone has doubts that Ezekiel’s vision is of God enthroned upon the shape-shifted spacecraft cherubim, consider what Ezekiel says in the final description in this passage (verse 28): “Such was the appearance of the glory of the LORD.”
Then, a few verses later in chapter 2, it was said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me” (2:3). It is ironic that Ezekiel recognized this vision to be a message from God, yet over 2,500 years after this vision, modern-day?UFO?hunters want to “reinterpret” Ezekiel’s original understanding of what he saw and claim that this is an "extraterrestial" UFO sighting of some alien race from another planet or galaxy.?And Satan has blinded their minds to think that this type of technology can ONLY come from "other worldly beings" from SPACE! If you haven't done so yet I higly recommend that you read my article dated March 10, 2022 titled: ALIENS Come From The "Spirit Realm" NOT From Outer Space!
What You Need to know about the SPIRIT REALM!
Unlike human beings that are very limited in their physical fleshly and material bodies. Angelic beings were created with the "Supernatural" ability to "shape-shift" and TRANSFORM into ANYTHING they want to at will! Hence that's what Hollywood's Transformers?(film series) is really trying to depict in these so called: SCI-FI films and movies: the ability that the "Angelic Realm" has to "transform" into a person, object, or vehicle on a whim! Haven't you noticed that when you or someone has captured the image of a UFO on a videocam you'll freak out to see how suddenly the image morphs from some sort of craft into a dragon or some other thing, etc. RIGHT? This happens because the "fallen angels" who come from their "spirit realm" in the 2nd heaven (Where most of these DARK FORCES, and Principalities and Powers of Darkness dwell: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in HIGH (heavenly) places.") Ephesians 6:12. While God and His HOLY angels and Archangels dwell in the 3rd HEAVEN! They simply cannot retain their original SHAPE for too long once inside our earth's atmosphere so they get all "discombabulated" and sort of wacky when captured LIVE on a camera. As a matter of fact in the Shield of the Son YouTube video: Aliens Come From Hell they show an image of one of them that had shape-shifted into a BOW (like the sort you put on a "Gift box") on the lunar surface. This is why Paul wrote this in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no GREAT thing if his ministers (the Fallen Angels under him) also be transformed as the ministers of rigtheousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
Ezekiel’s?description of the vision ties in perfectly with other apocalyptic writings such as Daniel and Revelation.
The entire vision is not something taught in modern denominational religions. It should be though, because it would make God distinctively more real than the fuzzy image portrayed by most pastors and ministers (again Satan's Ministers) in this world's churches, as well as UFO enthusiasts. Meditate on the description of the spectacular vehicle God rides in. This is God’s spaceship, and this vision should make the God of the Bible come alive to you.
