Technological Devices
of the Fleet
Ezekiel's
Whirlwind
Ezekiel has
two extensive encounters with this vehicle and its many mechanical devices.
This is the description of the first encounter.
Ezekiel
Moving Devices
1: 5
Also out of the midst
thereof came the likeness
of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness
of a man.
From the
metallic center came four moving devices that appeared human-like.
Wings
1:6
And
every one had four faces, and every one had four
wings.
The devices
had parts that resembled
wings and faces.
Highly Polished Copper
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.
The bottom
section of the devices were straight, the lowest part like a hoof, and were of
highly polished,
shiny copper.
Devices Like Hands
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.
Under the
wings were parts like hands.
Joined Wings
1: 9
Their
wings were joined
one to another; they
turned not when they went;
they went every one straight forward.
The devices
were connected. The devices did not turn when they changed direction.
Animated
Devices
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.
The face
parts had the likeness of a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle.
Pairs Of
Wings
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.
The wings were spread upward and
were connected together.
Anomalous Movement
1:12
And they went every one straight
forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they
turned not when they went.
The devices
went where the flying craft went,
without turning.
Glowing Flashing Lights
1:13
As for the likeness of the
living creatures, their appearance was like
burning coals of fire,
and like the appearance of
lamps: it went up and down
among the living creatures; and the
fire was bright, and out
of the fire went forth
lightning.
The devices
were glowing and there were bright flashing lights in the center of them.
Flashing Lights
1:14
And the living creatures ran and returned as the
appearance of a flash of lightning.
The devices
were flashing and moving back and forth.
Wheel
On The Ground
1:15
Now as I beheld the
living creatures, behold one
wheel
upon the earth by the living
creatures, with his four faces.
There was a
wheel on the ground beside the devices.
A
Wheel In A Wheel
1:16
The appearance of
the wheels
and their work was like unto the
colour of a beryl:
and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it
were a wheel in the middle
of a wheel.
The wheels
had the workmanship of a gem and the arrangement of a wheel inside a wheel.
Wheels
Moving
1:17
When they went, they
went upon their four sides: and they
turned not when they went.
The wheels
did not turn when they moved.
Rims
Full Of Eyes
1:18
As for their rings,
they were so high
that they were dreadful; and their
rings were full of eyes round
about them four.
The rims of
the wheels were grand and awesome and had the appearance of eyes all around.
Wheels Ascended
1:19
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.
Wheels ascend
with the devices.
Spirit
In The Wheels
1:20
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.
All the parts move together.
Synchronized Ascension
1:21
When those went, these went; and
when those stood, these stood; and when those were
lifted up
from the earth, the
wheels
were lifted up over
against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the
wheels.
The wheels lifted when
the devices were lifted.
Loud Wheels And Wings
1:22
And the likeness of
the firmament
upon the heads of the living
creature was as the
colour
of the terrible crystal,
stretched forth over their heads above.
The expanse,
stretched out above the devices, had the appearance of glass and was awesome.
Devices Under The Main Body
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.
The wings
under the expanse were straight and moved towards one another.
Loud Wings
3:13
I heard also the
noise of the wings
of the living creatures that touched one another, and the
noise of the wheels
over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
The wings of
the devices and wheels
were
emitting a
loud noise.
