I don't know about any natural science about God, but this temple that Ezekiel 1 ... show a vision was not Ezekiel temple of Ezekiel 47, this was the temple that Solomon built, as the people sin and turned away from God and this was a vision of God leaving the temple for good which was hard on all of heaven
Thank you for clarifying hljc. You are correct. There are two Temples referenced in the Book of Ezekiel.
While we are on this subject, I would like to note that many Christians believe that the Temple mentioned in the final chapters are a future look at a Millennial Temple or perhaps New Jerusalem.
I disagree.
Ezekiel's Temple was a conditional promise, meaning that it would only be built if the Israelites repented. Here is the Fine Print that many skip over...
Ezekiel 43:11
"And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them."
The Israelites did not repent; thus, the plans were scrapped. Plan-B (New Jerusalem) was the replacement. There are similarities between Ezekiel's Temple and New Jerusalem, but they are not the same, especially with the Animal Sacrifices.

The remnant repented. John the baptizer prepared the way. Jesus came to those who repented.
Isaiah 59:20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,” declares the Lord.
Malachi 3:1"Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple--the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight--see, He is coming," says the LORD of Hosts.
Matthew 3:3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.'"
Isaiah 40:3 A voice of one calling: "Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Michael Way again.
When I saw the title of this thread, I thought maybe we were going to get into something interesting, like UFOS
Made me think of the old project UFO show by Jack Webb (Of dragnet) He even did the rather creepy into which is what made me think of Ezekial's wheel.
I agree 100%

This thread is not 'clickbait' and not for 'entertainment'. Those looking to be lied to will not like what is written here.
There is a reason why the 'Ezekiel UFO' garbage is out there. Folks looking to make a quick buck and promote themselves will always find a sucker to make take money from.
God does not need a rust bucket Millennium Falcon to travel in. Give me a break.

Except that I could twist the data to fit anything from Dr Seuss to James Joyce's Ulysses.....
SO if Ezekial knew so much about it, then why didn't he become the first to split the atom or develop a working scientific theory?
For those interested in learning more, I have prepared a study...
