Ezekiel’s Jump Jet

          I have been hearing for years that the beasts described in Ezekiel 1 were supposed to be helicopters.  As I read this chapter of Ezekiel, I realized that the facts might not fit that image.  It is my opinion that the Harrier Jump Jet, or a deviation thereof, would fit better.

 

 



[Harrier Jump Jets] Ezekiel 1:4 “And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.”



 

 



Ezekiel 1:6 And every one had four faces

Divided windshields?



 





 

Ezekiel 1:6 and every one had four wings.

 

 

Ezekiel 1:7 and their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

 

Ezekiel 1:8 and they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

 

 Ezekiel 1:9 their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

Ezekiel 1:10 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 1:11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

 

 

Ezekiel 1:19-20 and when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.  Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

 

Ezekiel 1:23 and under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.

Ezekiel 1:27And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

Aircraft Carriers could carry a lot more planes if their wings folded out of the way and the planes could take off straight up.

 

Perhaps a plane, with all of these features, is on the drawing board.
