CHARIOTS

The chariots of the Elohiym are described using two words First rekeb, pronounced reh'-keb; a vehicle; by implication, a team; by extension, cavalry; by analogy a rider, i.e. the upper millstone, and merkabah, pronounced mer-kaw-baw'; a chariot.  The fact that these chariots fly, glow, and spin set them apart from the average chariot and the definition of vehicle is probably as close as the authors could get.

SPINNING CHARIOTS OF  FIRE IN THE SKY
            2 KINGS  2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12  And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
            Elijah and Elisha are talking and suddenly a bright flying vehicle and a cavalry of bright flying objects appear and Elijah ascends into the sky by a spinning-flying vehicle.  The word translated into horses, 'cuwc' means rapid movement or flight.  This cavalry of glowing vehicles is most likely the army spoken of where hosts appears.

HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF  FIRE
            2 KINGS  6:17  And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18  And when they came down to him,  Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote  them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
            One or more flying objects descend to the ground and Elisha asks Yhovah to cause blindness to befall the surrounding army which he does.  The army is captured and later Yhovah restores their sight.

THOUSANDS OF  FLYING VEHICLES
            PSALMS  68:17   The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. 18  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
            The vehicles of Elohiym number a myriad of thousands. Twenty = Myriad.   However the word angels is taken from the word 'shinan' which means changes.  The specific meaning in this verse is not clear.  See Rev. 5:11

CLOUDS AS CHARIOTS
            PSALMS  104:3   Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 
            Yhovah makes thick clouds his vehicles and travels on the edge of the wind.

CLOUDS AS CHARIOTS
            PSALMS  104:3   Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 
            Yhovah makes thick clouds his vehicles and travels on the edge of the wind.

FLYING VEHICLES FROM THE SKY
             ZECHARIAH  6:1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
            Zechariah looks up and sees four flying vehicles coming from between two copper colored mountains.

DWELLINGS

            Houses, habitations, pavilions, dwellings, and sanctuaries in the sky show that these flying vehicles are at least the temporary home for the Elohiym and the other beings of the realm.  

HOME IN THE SKY
            DEUTERONOMY  26:15  Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
            God's home is in the sky.  

YHOVAH'S GLOWING SOLID FLYING HOUSE         
            2 SAMUEL  22:12  And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 13  Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. 14  The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice. 15  And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
            This appears to be a description of a circular fleet of objects arranged around a main object described as Yhovah’s pavilion or mobile dwelling.  In front of this grouping appear brilliant flashing lights and glowing objects.  Yhovah tumbles out of the sky.  Arrow-like objects and bright flashes cause great consternation to David’s enemies. 

YHOVAH LISTENS FROM HIS SKY DWELLING  
            2 CHRONICLES  6:21  Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
            Yhovah can hear the pleas of men from his house in the sky.            

AERIAL DWELLING
            2 CHRONICLES  6:30  Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:).
            God dwells in the sky.

GOD HEARS FROM HIS AERIAL DWELLING PLACE
            2 CHRONICLES  6:33  Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
            Yhovah can hear from his aerial dwelling.

YHOVAH DWELLS IN A DARK SHINY FLYING OBJECT
            PSALMS  18:11  He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 
            As in 36 there is reference to a pavilion, which is a mobile living space.  This pavilion is a dark shiny swiftly moving object.  Secret place = scud, low dark, cloud.

ASCEND IN THE PAVILION
            PSALMS  27:5  For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
             Set me up = rise.  Rock = refuge.  Pavilion = dwelling.  See PSALMS 18:11

PROTECTING PAVILION
            PSALMS  31:20  Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
            God uses his aerial home as a safe house.   See verse 18:11

YHOVAH WATCHES FROM HIS SKY DWELLING
            PSALMS  33:13  The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men  14  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
            Confirmation again that Yhovah dwells in the sky.

HIGH SANCTUARY IN THE SKY 
            PSALMS  102:19  For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
            Sanctuary = consecrated place.

FIRMAMENT OF HIS POWER
            PSALMS  150:1  Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
            Elohiym is in a holy place that is an expanse.

YHOVAH'S HOUSE ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS
           ISAIAH  2:2  And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
                        The house of Yhovah will be lifted above the hills.  Exalted = to lift.

A PROTECTIVE CANOPY
            ISAIAH  4:6  And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
             An object provides shade.  There is a certain level of doubt that this verse may be describing an actual tent.            

LOOK DOWN FROM A GLORIOUS HOUSE IN THE SKY
            ISAIAH  63:15  Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained.
            Habitation = residence

A RESIDENCE IN THE SKY
            2 CORINTHIANS  5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.: 2  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
            Our residence is in the sky.

THE THRONE

            Throne in the Old Testament is from kicce', pronounced kis-say' or  kicceh {kis-say'}; properly, covered, i.e. a throne (as canopied).  In the New Testament it is from thronos, pronounced thron'-os from thrao (to sit); a stately seat ("throne"); by implication, power or (concretely) a potentate.  Clouds and darkness, high and lifted up, fiery flames, and other anomalous traits give the throne of Yhovah a different perspective from those of earthly kings.  

THE SKY ARMY AND THE THRONE
            2 CHRONICLES  18:18    Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
            Yhovah is described as sitting on his throne the army of the sky beside him.  See 1Kings 22:19

GOD CLOAKS THE THRONE
            JOB  26:9  He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
            God cloaks the throne and expands his dark object.  Holdest back = cover in secrecy.

THRONE IS TIMELESS
           PSALMS  45:6  Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
              The throne of Elohiym is eternal.  

THUNDER CLOUDS AND DARKNESS          
            PSALMS  97:2   Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
            Yhovah throne is in a dark flying craft resembling a thundercloud.

THE THRONE IS IN THE SKY           
            PSALMS  103:19   The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
            Yhovah has stationed his throne in the sky and he moves about above all.

ELEVATED THRONE
            ISAIAH  6:1  In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
            Yhovah is on the throne high above the temple and something below the throne is filling the temple.

FELL FROM THE SKY
            ISAIAH  14:12    How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  13  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
            Satan has fallen from the sky.  He conspired to ascend into the sky above the 'stars' of Elohiym and raise his throne.  He will rise over the thunderclouds and resemble Elohiym.  Stars = princes.

THE SKY IS YHOVAH'S THRONE
            ISAIAH  66:1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
            Yhovah says the sky is his throne.

THRONE OF SPLENDOR
            JEREMIAH  14:21  Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
            Glory = splendor.

HIGH THRONE
            JEREMIAH  17:12   A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
            A magnificent elevated throne is the first place of sanctuary.

FLASHING THRONE AND WHEELS
              DANIEL  7:9  I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
            Ezekiel looks where the throne is set and sees the Ancient of Days sitting.  His garment was pure white and his hair like pure wool..  His throne was glowing brightly and the wheels of the craft were shining and glowing.

GOD'S THRONE IS IN THE SKY
            MATTHEW   5:34  But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne.
            The sky is the throne of God.

            MATTHEW   19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
            Jesus is stating that he is the being that sits on the throne of glory, which verifies his true nature as Yhovah.

THE SKY IS GOD'S THRONE
            MATTHEW   23:22  And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
            The throne of God is in the sky.

            The Greek word 'kurios' meaning supreme in authority or controller is the word translated into Lord who is saying the sky is his throne.

THRONE IS IN THE SKY
            HEBREWS  8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
            Jesus sits on the right hand of the Supreme God and acts as mankind's representative.

A THRONE IS OUTSTRETCHED IN THE SKY
            REVELATIONS  4:2  And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

UP TO THE THRONE
