Chapter Six 84
"And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and,
behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber
nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: Whose
arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a
whirlwind: Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold
of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. And in that day they shall roar against them
like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow (distress), and the light is
darkened in the heavens thereof (when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof). (Isaiah 5:26-30).
The space friends have "wheels like whirlwinds", their "arrows (truth) are sharp", they "come with speed
swiftly", and they shall "lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe".
Ezekiel had his encounter with space craft many years after Isaiah in 595 B.C. He gets off to a grand start in
Chapter One giving us a perfect description of Flying Saucers, their landing, and their occupants getting out.
Although the entire verses being transposed and generally mixed up, we can obtain a comprehensive view of
the situation by careful reading and proper correlation. Remember that Ezekiel had no mechanical
contrivances with which to make comparisons and he was therefore compelled to use

 the only things with which he was familiar--animals, birds, and horse-drawn chariots with wheels.
In this connection the Tetramorph of Greek art is interesting. (See Plate XVI). This symbolic drawing was
taken from a Byzantine Mosaic in the Convent of Vatopedi on Mt. Athos. The principal figure is that of a
Man, the three heads of the other creatures appearing from behind, and six large wings covered with eyes are
arranged around the heads and across the body of the Man, whose feet rest on fiery wheels which are also
winged (indicating flight). All the heads are invested with plain nimbi. The Tetramorph was the ancients' idea
or conception of what Ezekiel saw that day in 595 B.C. by the River of Chebar. It is one of the world's earliest
known drawings of Saucers.
The verses in Chapter One which make the most sense in the light of our modern knowledge of space-craft
will be given in that order.
"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding (catching)
itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the
fire." (Ezekiel 1:4).
Many of the spacecraft sighted within the last few years have displayed a very bright amber glow.
"And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet (a straight
foot); and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished
brass." (Ezekiel 1:6-7).
We shall see in a moment why they had four faces and four wings. The "straight foot" is, of course, the
ball-bearing landing-gear-like devices on the bottom of some Saucers with their contact points.
"Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight
forward. As for the likeness of their faces; they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right
side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side: they four also had the face of an eagle." (Ezekiel
1:9-10).
