Wheels within wheels...
21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
Wheels of time. Sun, moon, stars, days, seasons, lunar years, solar years, metonic cycles, precession of the equinoxes, chalakim and regaim. They're all in there. :)
The "math" involved in the Wheel, or Circle, is infinite and elegant. From it, we can make millions of designs, from a Cathedral's Rose Window, to A Star of David, constructed on the 60 degree angle. A mere look at the thousands of variations of hubcap designs show us the simple elegance, yet infinite possibilities, of the wheel.
If Ezekiel were standing outside of time to be able to view all of that, it would be amusingly paradoxical, considering:
Ezekiel 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
The chapter opens up with a wheel within a wheel within a wheel,
A day measured by the sun
A month measured by the moon
A year measured by the stars (שנת כוכבים)
Joseph had some trippy dreams. There's a list of ways Joseph and Ezekiel interconnect with ohr, light, starting with their fathers (Jacob + Buzi = 207, ohr).
the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
The word for wheel (ophan) is an orphan on the standard etymological trail, however: Nun suffixes form abstract nouns and therefore can be separate from root letters, which leaves the root letters alef and pei.
These two are the root of a number of words that relate to the nose and sense of smell, the most spiritual of the senses because it is the sense most separate from physicality.
nose, nostril, anger, character, nature, baking and baked goods (c.f. Bethlehem, the house of bread).
The spirit of the living beings was in their "wheels", what their nature (abstract noun) revolves around.
There is a concept that the Mashiach through his sense of smell will discern a person's nature. Smell: reiach, from spirit, ruach.
The breathing of all vertebrates with lungs consists of repetitive cycles of inhalation and exhalation through a highly branched system of tubes or airways which lead from the nose to the alveoli.[3] The number of respiratory cycles per minute is the breathing or respiratory rate, and is one of the four primary vital signs of life.[4]

And, of course, the Solar System, the Galaxies, the Galactic Clusters, and the universe are all “Wheels Within Wheels”.
Could it be that Ezekiel was given a vision of the Cosmos, way before Galileo, Copernicus, or even Carl (Billyons and Billyons) Sagan?
Visions of God i.e. of the Ein Sof (אין סוף). Which = 207 = ohr, light. :)
No shortage of concepts, is there. The light was named Day, so wherever "yom" appears, there is light. Even in (and especially in) the Day of the Lord.

Yes Indeed.
I’m familiar with the “ancient astronaut” theory documentaries. They mention the marvels of the ancients, the archeological and scientific puzzles. Much like we’re Sherlock Holmes examining a crime scene.
But all the pseudo science can be discerned by asking - Who is Jesus, and consider the total depravity of man and our need for a Savior.
Joining in prayer, left that other site, for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Amen to your Beautiful, Anointed Prayer, Dearest Sister Mary.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
Amen. May the leaders of our own country and Israel receive the wisdom to do the right thing. Along with the wisdom, may they be gifted with strength, courage and a passion to follow that right path.
Agreeing in prayer.
