EZEKIAL'S WHEELS
Probably the most famous passage of scripture that people relate to as describing a UFO, or UFO's, is Ezekial ch.1. To the shock and amazement of most who hold this view I would expect, this passage is NOT describing UFO's. Let me show you what is being described here. Read chapter one very carefully first then turn your attention back to this document. Think about what your reading. Ezekial is "viewing" this, so "picture" what he is viewing. Ezekial describes a lot of detailed "perspective" here as to his surroundings, and what they look like.
"And I looked and behold a
whirlwind
came out of the
NORTH,
a great cloud, and a fire
INFOLDING ITSELF,
and a brightness was about it, and out of midst of
it was the color of amber. out of the
MIDST of the fire". (Ezekial 1:4)
I want to reiterate something here again, the "north" is where the Lord "resides" (in the sides thereof) according to scripture. The "north" is where heaven is. A "whirlwind" came out of the "north". The translation here is distinctly different than the others. It is [Strong's ref. 7307 ruwach, roo - ahk; wind; by resemb. breath, a violent exhalation: fig. life; by exten. a region of the sky; by resemb.spirit, tempest, whirlwind]. What your going to be shown here, is that something is being given BIRTH too. This is also descriptive of the life giving "spirit" of God. This is a "vision" of and on a massive scale. What I mean is, what Ezekial is looking at, is not confined to his perspective of planet Earth. This is HUGE. Out of this "infolding fire", comes "creatures" of various appearance. The descriptions of the "creatures" are not as important as to their "actions".
"Their wings were
joined
one to another; they
turned not
when they went; they went everyone
straight forward". (vs. 9)
If you study this little verse by itself, you'll find that this illustration cannot work if you are picturing this in two dimensions. This canONLY be properly understood if you are thinking 360 degree "panoramic" view (spherical). What Ezekial is looking at is the "night sky" from the perspective of Earth. The creatures are "cherubs" and they are ZODIAC!. They are "constellations of stars" that we see in the night sky:
"Now as I beheld the living creatures,
behold one wheel
U P O N
the earth
by the living creatures, with his four faces". (vs. 15) Take careful note of the "wheel UPON the earth". Ezekial is looking at the "horizon". The answer to this whole riddle is in how the "wheels" work or move. Without getting into a prolonged detailed analysis, I think you should be able to get a pretty generalized picture by the next verse.
"The appearance of the wheels and their
work (construction), was as it were a
wheel in the middle of a wheel...
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...
for the
S P I R I T
of the living creature
was in the wheels".
(Ezekial 1:16-17-19-20)
The "wheels within wheels" are the "terrestrial planets" going around in their "orbits". And "when the living creatures went", that is, when the "constellations" went around in the heavens, "the wheels went with them". The planets in their orbits went around with them, "for the living creature was in the wheel". The constellations orbit along a "wheel", as do the planets. Though the constellations aren't really moving, it gives the appearance that they are from the orbits of the planets, and our own orbit of the Earth. Now, this passage is not entirely devoid of any mention to UFO's. If you understand that Ezekial was shown the birth of the "constellations", and their seemingly movements amongst the stars and the planets of our solar system, then you will understand what Ezekial is looking at here.
"As for their rings (orbits), they were so
H I G H
that they were dreadful; and their rings were
FULL OF EYES
round about them..." (vs. 18)
The word "dreadful" here is usually interpreted as meaning "full of awe". No, Ezekial IS seeing something dreadful here. The "orbits" of the constellation and the planets, were so "high", giving the allusion of great distance. But Ezekial states something else here, the "orbits" of these cosmic bodies are "full of eyes". This is what is dreadful. Ezekial is stating that the "constellations" areFULLOFWATCHERS OR ZOPHIM. As stated before, we get our word "eyes" from the word "zophim" (watchers).
this is not UFO's. It is visions from/of God...
Eze 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was] among the captives by the river of Chebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Unidentified Flying Object
The vehicle in Eziekiel is described in very graphic detail, ie., identified. How could it possily be considered "Unidentified?
Do aliens really exist? See Scientific and Biblical evidence that they don't.

http://www.mantta.fi/~patato/ufo.html fallen angels can copy Ezekiel's incident and take saucer's shape. So they can fly in the sky and try to convince us that Ezekiel's story would have nothing to do with God or angels, but aliens from other planets.
One common example where ufologists mishandle a biblical text is the now famous case of Ezekiel's encounter with God (Ezekiel 1:4ff). Those who wish to find flying saucers in the ancient writings look for support in such places as this. Ezekiel's "wheels," for instance, are thought to be UFOs. A closer look at the passage, however, shows how fallacious this interpretation is. The so-called UFOs are actually part of a vision which Ezekiel receives from God (v. 1). A vision, of course, is not an actual physical manifestation, as would be the case, presumably, in a UFO encounter. In fact, Ezekiel's companions apparently remained unaware of what had transpired. Therefore, what might sound like evidence to be marshaled in favor of the UFO phenomenon is actually nothing of the sort. "By picking some elements out of context, reading into the particular verses things you want to see, and by frankly manipulating the words of the text to suggest something that it is not, then it is possible to claim this was an alien spacecraft. . . . This all shows the danger of inaccurate research."[26]
