A Mystery No Longer

Egypt has the pyramids. England has its Stonehenge. America has Roswell, New Mexico. Every country has a mystery that just cannot be cracked open.

The prophet Ezekiel records a bizarre vision in chapter one. Ezekiel was in his thirties, in the country of Babylon when he beheld a vision unlike any other. He saw a tremendous windstorm coming from out of the north with a giant cloud flashing brilliant lighting from a center reflecting metal. And in the midst of that glow, Ezekiel saw four ‘extraterrestrials’ or living creatures. Each of these creatures resembled a man that had four faces and four wings! Each had the face of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, with feet like polished brass in the shape of hooves! Some used their wings to fly and some used them to cover themselves. They glowed like fire and traveled back and forth like lighting. There was a wheel on the ground beside each creature that looked like intersecting wheels with eyes on the rims! Above their heads was an aura that sparkled like ice and it-was-awesome!

Above their heads Ezekiel saw a tremendous throne of sapphire and high above the throne was the figure like that of a man. This image looked like glowing metal on fire and a brilliant fire surrounded him. Then the image spoke to Ezekiel!

“And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.” Ezekiel 1:14

People have called these appearances UFO’s and speculated for centuries exactly what these visions of Ezekiel’s represented. Looking through the prism of history we can say with some assurance that these special creatures were not little aliens from another planet traveling in their spaceships. We can now identify them as Cherubim—an elite order of angels—sent from God. Period! Problem solved.
