After many books that contained many of the Bible-god's complains about the unfaithfulness of Israel to him, we reach the book of Ezekiel. It begins with his visions. Let's look at his description of the Bible-god.
Ezekeil 1
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures
Again we see the Bible-god coming in the form of a storm and cloud. Now we get more info - flashing lightning, surrounded by brilliant light. Then, the centre of the fire looked like glowing metal. I think it is a description of our modern day UFO !!!
Ezekiel then goes on to describe in detail the four living creatures. They do not make any sense at all to me. I think they were a kind of vehicle, maybe like out jet planes. They even had wings which could be folded. Maybe our planes have not reached that stage.
verse 24
When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
Then we read that these four creatures seem to be supporting a great metallic body, maybe the body of the UFO. Ezekiel also saw the Bible-god, who looked like a man! Again, he is seen with fire around him. Maybe he was in a metallic astronaut suit, that's why he appeared metallic, and he was sitting in the cockpit that appeared to be a throne to Ezekiel. So I confirm once more that the Bible-god was a physical being and spoke like a human too.
25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.
27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
The rest of the book records the endless threats of the Bible-god against Israel. It reads like this god is much more revengeful than a human being!
Then in chapter 40, again Ezekiel seemed to be describing an astronaut,
2 In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. 3 He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
Then the bronze man began measuring the city. Now I realise that the Bible-god also seems to be very meticulous about measurements. Then Ezekiel was instructed to tell Israel the whole plan, which reads like an architect's building plan.
10 "Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider the plan, 11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement, its exits and entrances—its whole design and all its regulations and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.
After this, again the Bible-god talks about all the different kinds of burnt offerings he wanted from Israel.
