I don’t recall saying I agreed with all the OP’s ponts.

It remains true, however,

that in a number of translations . . .

Ezekiel’s chariot bears a very striking resemblance to some very standard UFO’s.

Where there is, in fact, such a correlation remains to be seen after this era is over.

Unless, of course, God decides to have some of HIS angels use such. I’m skeptical He will.

Seems to me all such critters these days are decidedly on satan’s side.

What do the original Greek versions say? Translators tend to translate to fit what they know if the original description doesn’t match anything they are familiar with and they want to convey the thrust of what was written so current audiences can make sense of it. If God is responsible for what is written in the Bible why are the references so elusive only a few UFO believers can see the resemblance. A chariot does not look anything like a flying saucer.
