Ezekiel 8:1 and 14:
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the
fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of
Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which
was toward the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Ezekiel 10:9-11:
And when I looked, behold, the four wheels by the cherubims, one
wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the
appearance of the wheels was as of the colour of a beryl stone.
And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a
wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as
they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it;
they turned not as they went.
Robert felt sure that it was an airplane which Ezekiel was talking
about and which was going to be made in the future. He thought the one
referred to with "the face of an eagle" referred to the United States
Government. He hoped to build some day and help win the great war in
the air and make peace when the days of the "End" come and the great
air battles would be fought. Ezekiel 10:19 and 21:
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth
in my sight; when they went out, the wheels also were beside them; and
every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and
the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the
likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Ezekiel 12:22:
Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel,
saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
Ezekiel 14:14, 16 and 21:
Though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job, were in it, they should
deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.
Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be
delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
For thus saith the Lord God. How much more when I send my four
judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome
beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast.
Ezekiel 16:1 and 44:
Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Behold, every one
that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is
the mother, so is her daughter.
Ezekiel 17:3 and 7:
And say, Thus saith the Lord God, A great eagle with great wings,
long-winged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto
Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers;
and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth
her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her
plantation.
