Part 2

Let's look at what Ezekiel found in the 5th Century B.C. when God showed him what was happening inside the temple  (Read Ezekiel 8:5-18)

Verse [9] ...Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

Nothing has changed since then! (Read Ezekiel Chapter 13 where Lying prophets are condemned)

Note: 13:5 makes reference to the same "day of the Lord" that John was taken to.

Ezekiel's vision of the defiled temple wasn't meant for his time any more then God's visit to him in a flying saucer, as he describes in chapter one, could have been understood prior to our present space age. You and I have no problem whatsoever understanding what the vehicle was that God visited him in because we have actually seen 5 tons of shiny metal fly so many times that it is not at all unusual to us. It's normal everyday life. But imagine someone 2500 years ago who actually saw something like a Jumbo 747 and four F-17 Fighter jets land right before his very eyes!  Well, Ezekiel did see "something like that", only the vehicles that he saw were circular and more high-tech than our crude propulsion aircraft of the 21st century!
