A series of articles on How to Interpret the Bible, by Lauretta Lueck, author of The Many Waters. To Ezekiel, what he saw was a creature, and the LORD rode on this live animal of unknown origin. What the writers of the Qumran text describe is a chariot that, supposedly, came from heaven and was driven by angels. Obviously these people were familiar with chariots, but because these were exceptionally beautiful they may have thought they were heavenly and the occupants angels. Who else could they be?

Without that filling, we will fail miserably in our spiritual lives and accomplish little to reach other people for Christ.
