I'm reading from someone else's class notes, and I think that's what it says. Is that right? I didn't know this. If so, is it because of the mystical nature of it?

never heard that before.
Though I understand where the logic would come from.
the first part of Ezekiel describes supernatural events of angles flying around.
This has had in rabbinic literature been the source of many Kabalistic explanations and lessons. And typical as you now higher levels of Kabblah are discouraged for people who are young and unlearned. That's where this might come from.

Interesting, never heard that before either.
Book of Ezekiel (Hebrew: laqzhy, "God strengthens")
Author: the Prophet Ezekiel
Dating: early 6th century BCE
The book of Ezekiel recounts the story of Ezekiel (whose name means "God strengthens" and who is counted among the three major prophets), a prophet who predicted the downfall of Judah and was the first of the prophets to live outside of the Jewish promised land, having been exiled to Babylon along with many others.
Writing in the early 6th century BCE, he was probably one of the Temple priests who, after his dire predictions went unheeded, tried to give comfort to the other Jews who lived with him in exile. Upon their return, he also worked to promote the kinds of laws and purity which, he hoped, would prevent similar disasters in the future.
One of the prophecies Ezekiel has become well known for is his description of God and Magog. According to Ezekiel, Gog was a nation to the north from which a prince, Magog, would arise and attack the Jews. He would be defeated and, as a result, the Jewish god would be acknowledged as the one, true god by all people. Christian writers later took this to be a reference to a coming apocalypse and the author of Revelation identified Magog as being part of a Satanic force.
