re: “Look at the term, U F O; are you trying to tell me that you can identify the object Ezekiel saw?”

Ezekiel identified himself what the object(s) was/were - cherubim. Look it up yourself in Ezekiel 10. The fact that he used terms that we don’t understand, and that Ezekiel probably couldn’t fully describe doesn’t make it a UFO in the traditional sense of that word.

The Book of Daniel as well as Revelation records personages in highly symbolic and apocalyptic language. These are not beings from another planet in the universe, which is the traditional definition of what people mean by extra-terrestrials or the vehicles they travel in, UFOs.

Look, when you expand/create your own definition of what an ET is or a UFO is (to include Biblical or spiritual beings), you get to frame the argument to your liking and lo, and behold - you get to win the argument!

But, the fact remains that Ezekiel clearly identifies the wheel of fire as cherubim and that they symbolize God’s presence leaving the temple in Jerusalem. And another thing, this was a “vision” that only Ezekiel saw. This was not a physical, literal event that anyone else could see. That’s why these things are called visions. Ezekiel was a prophet of God and God showed him things that He didn’t show anyone else.

But look, do what you want. I just doesn’t matter to me - except when someone takes Scripture and tries to twist it into saying something that it is NOT saying.

You are exposing your inability to reason rationally. For an object to exist insuch a way that ANYONE could see it it has temporal and spatial qualities. That most cannot see these real objects does not indicate they are not real, it indicates that the one who DOES see and sense them has been graced with the ability to sense these objects.

When Jesus disappeared from the burial clothes and the rock enclosed tomb, He stepped from our where/when into another REAL where/when. When He appeared in the Upper Room which was locked and shuttered, He appear out from another real where/when. Refining understanding of what God has given to us as reference material is not blasphemous, so stop trying to insinuate such in such a deceitful way.

Now if you believe it is blasphemous to refine our understanding of what God --Who is not a liar, so He will not lie to us-- has given to us as reference is blasphemous then find someone else to feed your ego. refining our understanding is the process of applying to the record God has given us what we learn about the Universe God has Created.

An open mind need not be ignorant nor ungodly, if you're wondering where to wobble next.
