IRAQ 593 B.C.
Of all the UFO accounts in the Bible, the one mentioned most often is Ezekiel’s Wheel. One of the passages reads: “This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel.” (Ezekiel 1:16) The following is an analysis of Ezekiel chapter one that is based on the work of NASA engineer Josef Blumrich. Of all the UFO accounts in the Bible, the one that I hear mentioned most often is Ezekiel’s Wheel.
Many people claim that Ezekiel clearly describes a UFO in the following passage: Ezekiel 1:16 (NIV) This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. So I thought about this. What is the craft shown above? It still seems rather mystical looking, and even if it is a spacecraft, it really doesn’t make the story told in the book of Ezekiel any clearer. The rest of his narrative still seems pretty confusing to me. While I was wondering about all of this, a friend passed on a book written by NASA engineer Josef F. Blumrich entitled The Spaceships of Ezekiel. This book concludes that the passage shown above wasn’t the whole story.
Blumrich agrees that the “wheel within a wheel” was extraterrestrial, but he goes one step further and claims that it only describes a small part of the craft. According to Blumrich, the whole chapter was a detailed description of an encounter with an UFO. Even the story behind the book is very interesting. Blumrich notes that he began researching the topic in response to Erich von Daniken’s book Chariots of the Gods. In the forward to his book, Blumrich states that he “began to read von Daniken with the condescending attitude of someone who knows beforehand that the conclusions presented can by no means be correct.” In otherwords, he thought von Daniken was full of it and was going to set out to prove it scientifically. What he found, after an extensive amount of research from an engineering point of view, was just the opposite. He went from an extreme skeptic to becoming convinced that the book of Ezekiel was a real accurate and detailed account of an encounter with extraterrestrial visitors.
Very interesting coming from a person who is not a religious zealot by any means and is about as far as you can get from a gullible person who might be prone to jump to conclusions. Ezekiel 1:4 (NIV) I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north–an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man.
