Ezekiel gets his second witness.
In Ezekiel chapter 10, our prophet gets a second glance at the angelic being of Chebar.
Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings. - Ezekiel 1:5-6
This is where he sees some detailed activity of the cherubs and the mysterious wheels (galgal). Many people go straight to talk of flying saucers and such.
I don’t know if you’ve ever encountered an unexplained being/appearance (and I’m not talking about people who wear confusing outfits and frequent Wal-Mart; that doesn’t count) like an UFO, a strange light in the sky, or bigfoot (I believe I know the deal on him, by the way. Let’s discuss that later). If you have seen the indescribable, I bet you could appreciate a second viewing, to help solidify the details in your mind.
Recently, my girls were walking around the campground, on our vacation. We were communicating on a walkie talkie. All the sudden, I heard, “We just saw a UFO. Not kidding.” Later, when I asked for a description from all three who witnessed the unidentified lights in the sky, I learned something interesting. I heard significant discrepancies in the nature of this “flying craft/lightshow.”
This doesn’t come as a surprise to a psychologist, or an investigator. They have to work with multiple versions of the accounts, and filter through the details. I’m just glad they were not beamed up. I’d be kickin’ some alien butt, if that were the case.
Beaming Up
I have actually enjoyed researching a bit into the so called “alien phenomenon.” I am one who is convinced that a certain percentage of the more dramatic, even traumatic, encounters are demonic in nature. I think it is worth noting that the “enemy” robs and steals, yet promises paradise. Think Eden -
the promise: “You will be as gods.”
the reality: you lose actual paradise.
I guess I have rambled a bit, but I often have to write as if you were sitting in the bucket seat next to me while driving down a boring country road. This chapter is often used to prove in the existence of UFO’s. However, I think it would be safe to say that people seeing stuff they don’t recognize pretty much proves the existence of UFO’s… but it does not prove that they are space dudes. Plainly, the Bible speaks of life on planet earth and in the heavenly throne room. There are other beings, but they are essentially angels (in my opinion). And…
There are the good, and the bad (which are not always ugly).
We will continue to see signs but I don’t know if we can be privy to Ezekiel-scale visions. But God can do whatever He wants. I just pray that we catch the prophetic warnings that are given to Israel. Do not replace Israel with USA. That would be wrong, but realize that we are grafted into the household of the Messiah of Israel. We must heed His voice. We must hear it over the deceptive noise of the enemy. We must keep our eyes on Him, even if the enemy flashes sign and wonders before our faces.
The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. - Ez. 10:18
Pray that His Spirit stays in His Temple (our hearts) and is not withdrawn. Pray that the wars in the heavenly will be favorable over your home and community. Pray, then pray more. He wants to be with you. He wants to share with you. The closer you get to Him, the more He will open your eyes to things that you could not even imagine.
You are blessed. I am blessed. Let His glory hover over you and your family. This is what being set apart is about. We become a sanctuary where His fire of glory exists. Maybe He will use you. Maybe He will use me, to scatter His coals of revival fire all over your city.
May it be so.
America, bless God.
Prayer concerns:
I have a good friend who needs a miracle to get his car back to operational shape and drive for Uber and Lyft. His bus driving job has been stalled for the time being.
Missionaries that I know are needing this month’s expenses covered. They are faithfully fighting an uphill battle. If you are interested in helping, send me a message.
Florida’s Governor, Ron Desantis has done a good thing. Keep him in your prayers.
So, among all the crazy stuff I do (or try to do), I draw cartoon characters. I offer them up as free (or donation) coloring pages. So if you have a child or grandchild who would like to color these like my daughter does, click on this link to download. Below is the colorized and Meme-ified commentary version. The coloring page has no words. Kinda like I have no words for the lunacy that comes out of these WEF eggheads.
