One wonders how let's say if he had a vision of being on a 21st century
aircraft carrier what he would have written down

BY&language=english&optional.x=13&optional.y=10
From the literal translation we see 4 man like creatures with wings but the
fire doesn't match creatures nor does the WHEELS
hence
11 And their faces and their wings were parted above; two [wings] of every
one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. ( describes
wings of jet )
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the Spirit was to go,
they went; they turned not when they went. ( jet is solid )
13 And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was
like burning coals of fire, as the appearance of torches: it went up and
down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright; and out of the
fire went forth lightning. ( describes afterburners or missiles being
launched )
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash
of lightning. ( maybe taking off landing rapidly i.e. at night on aircraft
carrier )
15 And I looked at the living creatures, and behold, one wheel upon the
earth beside the living creatures, toward their four faces. ( wheels on
jet )
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was as the look of a
chrysolite; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their
work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. ( maybe describing
apache rotor and wheel like object above rotor )
17 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not when
they went. ( fixed wheels / wings )
18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their
rims full of eyes round about. ( lit apache rotors at night )
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and
when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were
lifted up.
( taking off / landing )
20 Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither would [their]
spirit go; and the wheels were lifted up along with them: for the spirit of
the living creature was in the wheels. ( maybe he didn't know that the
power was in the engine ? but the spirit could describe pilot )
21 When those went, they went; and when those stood, they stood; and when
those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with
them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. ( again
describing apparent power from pilot to wheels rather since 2600 years ago
this would have been beyond understanding of engines not power of the
pilot )
22 And there was the likeness of an expanse over the heads of the living
creature, as the look of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their
heads above.
( rotors appear semi transparent when in motion )
23 And under the expanse 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. ( rotors or wings )
24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of
great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, a tumultuous noise, as the noise
of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings; ( noisy rotors )
25 and there was a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads.
When they stood, they let down their wings. ( could be aircraft on a
carrier with folding wings )
26 And above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a
throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the
throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. ( must be
some new US secret aircraft ;-)
27 And I saw as the look of glowing brass, as the appearance of fire,
within it round about; from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from
the appearance of his loins and downward, I saw as it were the appearance of
fire, and it had brightness round about. ( jet engines )
well it may seem far fetched but there you have it , Ezekiel on a busy
aircraft carrier at night with lots of lights ( eyes ) and commotion some
aircraft have pictures on them of eagles or people hence "image of"
Is this what you are looking for?:

Rev ( first no drugs ;-) secondly tell us a story of the future mister ,if
not , I feel compelled by God to share
From Nostradamus
The young lion will overcome the older one, on the field of combat, in
single battle: He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage, two wounds
made one, then he dies a cruel death.
The French King Henry II died in 1559, a few years after Nostradamus penned
this by a piece of a lance that splintered and went through his helmet visor
and through one of his eyes.
A Tibetian Padmasambhava from the 8th Century.
"When iron birds fly, and horses run on rails, the Dharma will would go to
the land of the Red Man.
These are some of my prophecies that I penned in April of 1991.
"Nature's splendor ruined, vast cities torn, smells of charred flesh floats
on the breeze, cries of newly orphaned children can be heard, have none
learned the horrors from the past?"
" Snap, krackle, sizzle and smoke as war fires burn, Moans of pain and
injustice are ignored by the "righteous", Towns and regions destroyed by
arrow of fire, until the end of the last followers of the 3 brothers
die......"
"Too many young ones these days are taught to ignore any deep wisdom that
might "pour" out from them if they are allowed to let it out, WOW some of
the very deep mythos Wisdom can be shown."
"Three Brothers fight. Struggling for control over the others,
All for who has the "right" book,
They watch not where they go,
soon all three will be lost forever"
"With Dome destroyed by one brother,
Another goes into rage,
"Holy Land" in ruins, "Holy Cities flattened to the ground
Death and destruction grows as they follow "an eye for an eye".
"Clouds of smoke darkens skies,
Flash of weapon lightning, followed by thunderous explosions,
As distant targets are destroyed and lives lost,
As people flee in terror from the advancing theological war."
"Many warnings of destructions given go unheeded,
Will the three brothers take heed?
If they take heed, peace will follow,
Heed not, peace will only follow after the three kill each other."
"Two towers tall in large city, One brother see freedom and riches, Another
brother sees oppresion, suffering and greed, Both towers fall in firey
chaos. Chaos breeds more chaos, violence breeds more violence."
"Lessons lost, anger grows to war, millions left dead, lands wasted. once
conflict ends, cycle of life begins yet again for the survivors to rebuild"
Besides it shows that you are not a Theology student, or Scholar, as the
book of Ezekiel is not one of the books of Prophets. This book is only one
of the Hebrew writings.
The Prophecies books are the following:
Joshua
Judges
Ruth
1 & 2 Samuel
1 & 2 Kings
1 & 2 Cronicles
Ezra
Nehemiah
Tobit
Judith
Esther (additions)
and
1 & 2 Maccabees.
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are the books of Law.
All other books in the Old Testament are only books of Hebrew writings, not
prophecies. Sorry to burst your bubble.
