A more detail analysis of Ezekiel's vision

Are there other examples for building a levitating vehicle, other than Viktor Grebennikov’s levitating platform? This article is a more detailed examination into Ezekiel’s vision of the living machine with the wheel within a wheel than the previous ‘What Ezekiel Saw’ article.

In the Bible, Chapter One of Ezekiel, begins with his vision; the heavens opened. The word of Yahweh came to Ezekiel. A whirlwind came from the north, it was a cloud raging with great fire engulfing itself, a brightness radiated out of its midst with the color of amber from the fire within it. Ezekiel saw four living creatures looking like a man. Each with four faces, each with four wings. Their legs were straight and the soles of their feet like the feet of calves, sparkling like burnished bronze. Their hands were a like a man’s and under their wings. Their wings touched not. Each creature only went forward and did not turn as they moved; only forward. Each of the four had a man’s face in the front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle. Their wings stretched upward, each had two wings pointing up, touching one another and two covered their bodies. Their movement was straight forward, wherever their spirit wanted to go; they did not turn, their movement was only forward.

Their appearance was as coals of bright burning torches with lightning from the fire with the living creatures back and forth as lightning flashes.

Whirling wheels

Next to each creature was a wheel that was on the ground. The working of the wheels was like the color beryl, with its workings as a wheel in the middle of the wheel. Towards any one direction they went, not turning. The rims were so high, they were awesome. Each of the four rims were encircled with eyes. Wherever the creatures went, the wheels went, for the spirit was in the wheels, together they moved.

Above the creatures, the firmament (the heavens) was as crystal in color. Their wings were stretched out towards one another above their heads and two covered their bodies. The noise of their wings was like water, like the voice of the Almighty when they went, a tumult; sounding as an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

Then came a voice from above the firmament, it was in appearance like a sapphire stone of a throne. On it the appearance of a man high about it. It shown a fire the color of amber all around it of his waist and up the brightness of fire surrounded a rainbow in a cloud and the glory of Yahweh. Ezekiel heard a voice and fell on his face.  

The importance of relating this to transportation is about the wheels and the creatures’ capacity to control the wheel’s movement.

The Four Wheels

As context, from Chapter 1: (15)When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. (16)The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel. (17)As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. (18)Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. (19)So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.

(20)Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. (21)When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

(15) indicates they are separate. (16) The wheels are crafted and are a tool of the living creatures. The wheel within a wheel is the focal point of this article with the question: what provides lift? Is it the angel’s wings or a functionality of the spinning wheels? Is there an effectual magnetic relationship to the wheels that creates a levitating spin momentum to provide lift? 

(18) The eyes seem to indicate a sensor for visual perception of guidance. Also, it is the nature of a spoked wheel to create images as a wheel rapidly spins.

(21) From the context of the spirit of the living creatures being in the wheels, it is presumed that Ezekiel would relate today’s autonomous automobile technology as an automobile having a human spirit within them, carrying its passengers to their destination.

The specific attribute of significance to this article is in (21) with the movement of the wheels and that the wheels rose. Back to the question: how? What is the methodology that allowed the wheels to rise from the ground? The text only mentions the creature’s wings pointing upwards, it has no indication of wings flapping to create lift, similar to a bird.

Chapter 10 talks about the whirling wheels again. (2)…“Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.”

Of this entire vision, how much is symbolic? Lifting coals is physically possible without protective covering or use of a shovel. Walking into the whirling wheel withing a wheel defines the wheels as very large. This all indicates there is much more to explain its functioning operational design. But Ezekiel’s vision wasn’t about the operational design of the craft. Then why mention it? Why not just the large creatures with wings? Wings give creatures the ability to fly without whirling wheels. There is something mysterious and significant about these hand-crafted vehicles.

In searching for additional perspectives is this link: Ezekiel’s prophecy of the wheel. It offers a very unexpected interpretation. One very interesting view, suggests that the whirling wheels encompass the creatures. As Ezekiel describes the whirling wheels as being beside the creatures, this perspective views the wheels more as transparent; being beside them and also below them.

This perspective is from a source whose theology is totally different from the standard Christian view of Ezekiel’s vision. Even though the link provides a different perspective of the whirling wheels, its theological interpretation of the vision is wildly different and surprisingly extreme. As Yoda (the philosopher puppet from Star Wars), would say; ‘the hatred is strong in that one.’ Although this CATTCC article is intended as a through scientific examination of the vehicle in Ezekiel’s vision, the intensity of contemptuous vitriol from that particular link; interpreting Ezekiel’s vision as validation to bomb people of a particular skin pigmentation, is a startling shock. Nonetheless, the perspective of the wheels as encompassing the creatures rather than separately next to them, is appreciated. The outlook of vitriol from the other perspective; from that religious sect: is dangerously revealing. As a comment regarding Biblical text; that religious sect seriously needs to study the New Testament.

The accumulative opinions regarding Ezekiel’s vision, ascribe the vision as a prophetic, symbolic, and theological revelation. That theological perspective of the whirling wheels nullifies any support for a view that Ezekiel witnessed literal advanced technology or physical machinery.  Instead, the opinion from the theological community regarding Ezekiel’s profound vision; is meant to convey that Ezekiel’s dream has nothing to do with revealing a mysterious technology but, only about God’s nature and their varied interpretations of GOD’s sovereignty. However, unanimous with nearly Bible version: Ezekiel 1:1, …”the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.” The theological perception suggests this was only a dream and the whirling wheels is only a representation of Ezekiel’s imagination; therefore, nothing of reality.

Conclusion

This article, in CATTCC’s search for new transportation technology breakthroughs, is left with the opinion that the whirling wheels in Ezekiel’s vision remain a mystery. This article, however, does help to validate another of the CATTCC articles: ‘Operational Control’ wherein it defines psychokinesis as a process that enables neural oscillation to interact with an electromagnetic or electrogravitics response for a flying vehicle’s operational control.
