was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17- When they went, they went on their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18- As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
19- And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20- Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels lifted up over against them:
21- When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheel.
22- And the likeness of the firmament upon the head of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23- And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side and every one had two, which covered on that side of their bodies.
24- 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.
25- And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood and had let down their wings.
26- And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27- And I saw as the colour 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 downwards, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28- As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, 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 1:1-28
‘Now if you care to consider the description of what Ezekiel, in his own words or writing, said that he saw near the river Chebar, we may confidently say -and no doubt you will agree with us- that he described none other than space ships. I shall now take you step by step through that old text to explain exactly what Ezekiel saw.’
‘If we interpreted those descriptions in a more modern way, what he saw was a huge mother-ship, small flying saucers, and space men dressed in space suits. Just as the being that visited Abraham had told him, he informed Eli’jah that he lived on a Planet, and told him that his name was Yahweh.’
‘It is therefore very normal that this same being, that was now paying a visit to Ezekiel, should again physically travel on space vessels when he wished to appear to another Human being in the flesh. Yahweh, our Leader, did not appear to Ezekiel in such a manner for nothing. He wanted him to go and describe what he had seen, not only to his contemporaries, but to Humanity of the future; in other words, you the humans of today.’
‘Ezekiel’s generation did not use words like space ship. Even though he saw it, he could not properly explain the large, bulky objects in the sky, which were not birds, but which nonetheless could move, looking like houses, but sometimes were the grey colour of clouds.’
‘There is a passage that states, after Yahweh had arrived to meet Moses to give him the Commandments: ‘The Glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire ... and Moses entered the cloud, and went up in the mountain...”
‘Let us now see how Ezekiel described the landing of that flying machine. ‘The ‘whirlwind which came out of the north’ was the vapor trail which can be seen behind Earth’s jets nowadays, when they fly at high altitude.’
“(...A great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing continually and in the midst of the fire, as the colour of gleaming amber...)”
‘In other words the huge space ship appeared, with flashing lights; which made the metal of the vessel gleam intermittently. Amber (or electrum), is used in contemporary Hebrew for electricity; so he clearly said that the light that he saw, was like electric light.’
“And out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance (or this is what they looked like) they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one four wings.”
‘What he wanted to say is that he saw four humanoid beings wearing antigravity suits equipped with direction engines on the sides, along the legs, and casks with portholes on them. (Every one had four faces and four wings).
‘Those casks were quite similar to those worn by your own human astronauts when they went to the moon. Anyone watching the moving images of the first Human astronaut walking on your moon Luna can see the similarity between him and Ezekiel’s space people.’
‘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 colour of burnished brass. And under their wings on their four sides, they had the hands of a man, and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another …’
‘That part of the description means that the space suits were shiny and in one piece. These suits were metallic and seemed rather heavy. The feet sparkled because they were one with the suits. When they moved, they gripped the guides of the jet engines, and he saw their hands very clearly.
‘Their wings were joined to one another’ means that when they rose up, the fire and smoke of the exhausts of the jet engines intermingled. The wheels were small flying vessels that came out of the Mother Ship.’
‘... Behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures... …The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of beryl: and they four had one likeness: ...as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel...’ ‘They shone brightly as they were made of metal of course…’
“When they went, they went up on their four sides: and they turned not as they went...”
‘By that Ezekiel meant that the wheels did not turn as he had expected to see them turn; instead they glided, rotated around themselves, and flew by shooting right up, vertically’
“...As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.” Note that these ‘rings’ were simply the rims, and the ‘eyes’ were the portholes, to allow the people inside to see outside.’
“... And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth the wheels were lifted up... Whithersoever 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 living creatures was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.”
‘You must already have understood that the spacemen were obviously doing exploration work, moving and stopping. And the small flying vessels came along. Also, it appears that they did demonstration flights for Ezekiel. This is something that we do regularly for people we want to see one of our vessels, even if we are not destined to contact them. Let us continue.’
“...And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living beings was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above...” This was the Mother Ship that had brought them to Earth, the one in which our Leader, Yahweh, usually travels.”
“...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 the speech, as the noise of an host (or an army): when they stood, they let down their wings...”
“like many waters” means like a waterfall. This was the roaring of directional jet engines, which to him sounded like thunder. You must not forget that this was a primitive man talking.’
“And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood and had let down their wings...”
‘Obviously, you understand that he could not hear anything while the engines were still roaring, so the persons that were inside had waited, and then spoke when the jet engines had been switched off; therefore he could hear the voice.’
“...And above the firmament that was above their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone and upon the likeness the throne as the appearance of a man above upon it...”
‘The shiny material was on the floor of the cockpit of the space vessel. Every single prophet that had ever been met by us or by our Leader Yahweh himself, and gone inside his huge mother ship had made the same description. And you too, Desiree have seen the floor of our vessel and you can see that it is made of the same metallic alloy. Ezekiel saw what looked like a human being sitting, and he described his clothing thus:’
“...And I saw the colour 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 downwards, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about it.”
‘Around the waist of the humanoid being’s that Ezekiel saw, there was a shiny belt with an orange glowing light, and the cockpit itself was full of lights of different colours. The belt that the being wore around his waist is very much similar to the ones that you have seen around our own waists every day that you have met us.’
“...As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain; so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the Glory of Elyonin. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.”
‘That rainbow of colours is what any other human being would describe if they saw one of our Mother Ship at night. Well when Ezekiel saw this amazing and incredible scene, he fainted.’’
‘This reaction was the same for all the Prophets who either saw our space vessels or our spacemen. For such sightings were beyond their imagination. Even humans of today who are used to air planes and know about spatial explorations are still getting gravely affected by such encounters. And for Ezekiel, the unbelievable event was just too much for his nervous system. No such thing as a big flying house full of strong blinking lights could possibly exist. To him there could only be one answer: God was behind
