Technological Devices
of the Fleet
Part 2
Ezekiel's
Whirlwind
Continued
This is the second of at least
two encounters Ezekiel has with this vehicle that undeniable has mechanical
characteristics.
Ezekiel
Wheels And Glowing Objects
10:2
And he spake unto the man
clothed with linen,
and said, Go in between the
wheels,
even under the cherub,
and fill thine hand with
coals of fire from between
the cherubims,
and scatter them over the city. And he went in my sight.
A being,
clothed in white,
tells Ezekiel to go to the center of the devices.
Stationed Cherubims
10:3
Now the
cherubims stood on the
right side of the house, when the man went in; and the
cloud filled
the inner court.
House
= residence.
Ascending Brilliance And Splendor
10:4
Then the
glory
of the Lord went up
from the cherub,
and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the
cloud,
and the court was
full of
the brightness of the
Lord's glory.
Brightness
=brilliancy.
Loud Wings
10:5
And the
sound of the cherubims' wings
was heard even to the outer court, as the
voice of the Almighty God
when he speaketh.
The sound of
the wings resemble the sound of God. Voice = sound.
Wheels
And Cherubim
10:6
And it came to pass,
that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take
fire from between the wheels,
from between the cherubims;
then he went in, and stood beside the
wheels.
There are
glowing objects between the wheels.
Moving
Devices
10:7
And one cherub
stretched forth his hand from between the
cherubims
unto the fire
that was between the
cherubims, and took
thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took
it, and went out.
The
indication
that
the cherubim literally grabs a glowing object and literally hands it
could be Ezekiel's interpretation of the movements of a mechanical device. See
next verse.
Hand-Like Devices
10:8
And there appeared in the
cherubims the
form of a man's hand
under their wings.
Form = shape.
Golden
Wheels
10:9
And when I looked, behold the
four wheels
by the
cherubims,
one wheel by one cherub,
and another wheel by
another cherub: and the
appearance of the wheels
was as the colour of a beryl stone.
Beryl stone
=
gold colored gemstone.
A
Wheel In A Wheel
10:10
And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a
wheel had been in the midst of a
wheel.
All four
devices are alike.
Mechanical Movements
10:11 When they went,
they went upon their four sides;
they turned not as they went,
but to the place whither the head looked they followed it;
they turned not as they went.
The devices exhibit mechanical
synchronicity.
Wheels
Full Of Eyes
10:12
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the
wheels,
were full of eyes round
about, even the
wheels
that they four had.
The eyes
Ezekiel is describing might be small lights,
although his meaning is not clear.
Spinning Wheel
10:13
As for the
wheels,
it was cried unto them in my hearing, O
wheel.
Wheel =
whirlwind.
Strange Faces
10:14
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a
cherub,
and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and
the fourth the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel's
description of the faces on the devices could possibly be his way of describing
metallic,
mechanical parts.
Ascending Cherubims
10:15
And the
cherubims were lifted up.
This is the living creature
that I saw by the river of Chebar.
This is the
same craft Ezekiel first described in chapter 1.
Ascending Wheels
10:16
And when the
cherubims went, the wheels went by
them: and when the
cherubims lifted up
their wings to mount up from the earth, the same
wheels
also turned not from beside them.
All the
parts of the devices are synchronized.
Synchronized Aerial Movement
10:17
When
they stood, these stood;
and when they were lifted
up, these lifted up
themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
Everything is
ascending in unison.
Splendor Of Yhovah Ascends And Hovers
10:18
Then the
glory of the Lord departed from
off the threshold of the
house, and stood
over the
cherubims.
Off = above.
Ascending Wheels
10:19
And the cherubims
lifted up their wings, and
mounted up from the earth
in my sight: when they went out, the
wheels
also were beside them, and every
one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and the
glory
of the God of Israel was
over them above.
The splendor
of Yhovah is on top of the devices.
Under God
10:20
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
cherubims.
This
craft that seems alive is under the Elohiym.
Appearance Of A Hand
10:21
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the
likeness of the hands
of a man was under their wings.
Parts on the
devices look like hands.
