My friend has a question...?

Question

What was the wheel in the wheel Ezekiel saw? I understand ut's a wheel but we are a little confused.

Answer 1

9. wheels—(See on Ez 1:15,16). The things which, from Ez 10:8 to the end of the chapter, are repeated from the first chapter are expressed more decidedly, now that he gets a nearer view: the words “as it were,” and “as if,” so often occurring in the first chapter, are therefore mostly omitted. The “wheels” express the manifold changes and revolutions in the world; also that in the chariot of His providence God transports the Church from one place to another and everywhere can preserve it; a truth calculated to alarm the people in Jerusalem and to console the exiles [Polanus].

Answer 2

OMG!

Hey, I really think that it was a creature that was from heaven. You can call it a UFO if you want, because it certainly sounds like it was flying, and it wasn't like anything that I would have other than that to compare it to. I use the example to those brethren of mine to give an example of extraterestrial life. It seemed to be alive, and as the angels-- even God Himself, not from this world. Therefore-
extraterrestrial.
1. outside, or originating outside, the limits of the earth.

EDIT: See? lol

Answer 3

This chapter ( chapter 1 and chapter 10 of ezekial) talks about the glory of God and the day of His wrath. Look also at Daniel 7.

Answer 4

Good question.....
I've always understood it to be an angelic revelation.....almost UFO-like if you will.
Do I believe in UFOs? No....

But it must have been quite a site to see........

Might want to find some really good footnotes on the passage and see what the scholars say.

Answer 5

Most likely it was an hallucination brought on by a mushroom he ate.
