This vehicle that appeared over the head of Ezekiel was bright and shinning like a sapphire stone, and it had the appearance of a royal throne. This is the throne of God coming to the earth.

Ezekiel 10:2 "And He spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, "Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city." And he went in in my sight."

God is coming to address the one that is placing the mark on His elects minds. Have you placed a few marks, of what this symbolizes? God is telling his person in the linen, carrying His marker for Him, to Go between the wheels and right to the altar; right to the ones at the top of those houses of traditions. These coals of fire, red hot from the burning pages of the Scripture, can change people, and put the marking on their minds.

Ezekiel 10:3 "Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court."

This is the house of God.

Ezekiel 10:4 "Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory."

Can you imagine a fire unfolding within itself, and putting forth an energy that human man simply cannot compare. God's presence is there, in that energy of fire, this is the glory of God and it is from that energy of the Holy Spirit of God that comforts our hearts, and gives us the strength and energy to go forth with His Word. It is from this fire that men and women of God will stand up and act like men and women of God.

Many weak kneed scholars attribute this verse to the Roman General Titus, and his burning of the city of Jerusalem, however Ezekiel is addressing the end times, and this fire is off the altar of the living God, and the fire goes forth in the end times. Ezekiel's visions of the "end days, end times" is what we have been talking about from the start of this book. That fire is what burns in the minds of God's elect, and from that fire the knowledge comes [the mark in the forehead].

This is talking about the fulfillment of what will happen just prior to the end of this earth flesh age. We know that this time, from the first to the seventh verses, God is represented in Jerusalem, so this has to be a time prior to the to the coming of the Antichrist. We will see that starting the eighth verse God will be gone from Jerusalem.

The cloud that fills this house is a great cloud of people, Paul uses this same expression in Hebrews 12:1; "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,..." Paul is talking about the bunching of people that are running in a foot race, and not clouds in the sky.

Ezekiel 10:5 "And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when He speaketh."

Ezekiel 10:6 "And it came to pass, that when He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, for between the cherubims;" then he went in, and stood beside the sheels."

Another words, God altar and fire are aboard this vehicle.

Ezekiel 10:7 "And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out."

This one that was clothed with linen, is the one that has the authority to handle God's fire, His truth, and give that knowledge to others. When in his hand, it will not burn him or harm him, but will change those who hears the truth of God's Word. Have you caught on yet that this one in linen is one of God's elect that is giving out the truth that will change another man or woman's heart and give him the knowledge, or marking in the forehead. You become the ministers of fire placing the mark that will identify you as Gods elect.  We are under a deadline, for at the appointed time the four winds of Revelation 7:1-4 are let lose, and it becomes to late for any more witnessing. Those not sealed will not have the capability to understand, as God will give them over to the Antichrist. Their ignorance will cause them to fall.

The fire we are talking about is the truth of God's Word, the knowledge of God's plan from beginning to the end. That knowledge keeps one from being deceived.

Ezekiel 10:8 "And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings."

Ezekiel 10:9 "And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub, the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone."

These wheels were the color of clear crystal. Though this sounds a lot like a repeat of Ezekiel one, but in this vision, Ezekiel was not by the river Chebar.

Ezekiel 10:10 "And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel."

Remember from chapter one that when the vehicles went, they went in formations, and as stated then there was a master or control ship [mother ship].

Ezekiel 10:11 "When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went."

As these vehicles rose, they rose as a dish would rise floating, and when they went from one direction to another, they had no neck to show that they were turning. When the person inside looked to one direction, the vehicle went in that direction. Why? The person controlling the vehicle was simply looking in the direction that he would go. An animal, or vehicle as we know them has a from and rear, however a disk has no from or pack, and when it changes direction, there is no indication of it from the appearance of the disk.

Ezekiel 10:12 "And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had."

Ezekiel described these four creatures, that are carrying the symbols, or banners of all the tribes of Israel. They are inside these disk shaped vehicles, and Ezekiel is observing them through the portholes that are all around the body of the vehicle. Numbers 2 tells us of theses symbols and to which tribes they are attached. We also discussed this in the first chapter.

Ezekiel 10:13 "As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, "O wheel."

In the Hebrew, "O wheel" was given as "roll roll", with a whirling sound. The sound was relating to the sound of the movement, and not of a persons voice.

Ezekiel 10:14 "And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, the third face was the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle."

We are seeing God [the office of the Father] and His glory leaving Jerusalem, and He will not be back until the end of the Millennium age, the close of Jesus Christ's Millennium on earth, as recorded in Revelation 21 and 22. These four faces, are the symbols, or banners that represent the total encampment of all the tribes of Israel.

Ezekiel 10:15 "And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar."

What Ezekiel is saying here is, I'm at the temple of God at Jerusalem now, but what I am seeing here is the very same group that I saw by the river Chebar.

Ezekiel 10:16 "And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them."

The cherubim's went with the wheels of the vehicles because they were inside them. Ezekiel was use to seeing wheels turn by the gravity weight vertically; these didn't turn by their side, but rose from the ground horizontally, and never showed the direction that would turn. Have you ever seen a Frisbee thrown?

Ezekiel 10:17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them."

This is another way of saying that these vehicles were controlled by the one flying them.

Ezekiel 10:18 "Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims."

Ezekiel 10:19 "And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."

When you go the the east gate and look out, you have a view of the valley of Kedren, and across the valley rises the mount of Olives, that is the place where Jesus gave His sermon on the mound. It was here that Jesus gave His special instruction to His disciples as to what would happen at this important east gate. All the details, and it was given also in Zachariah 14 what would happen at this east gate.

This east gate is very important for it is here that Antichrist will rule the world over his religious system, and it is also here that Jesus Christ will also rule His Millennium Kingdom for the thousand years. Then the judgment comes, and the devil and his followers go to the lake of fire and are destroyed forever.

Ezekiel 10:20 "This is the living creature that I was under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims."

the creatures that were with God here, were the same ones that were present at the river Chebar.

Ezekiel 10:21 "Every on had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings."

These are the so called guardian angels of the twelve tribes.

Ezekiel 10:22 "And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward."

Ezekiel has emphasized three times that the vehicles, with God, and the cherubim's were the same that he say at the river Chebar, however it is two separate events, at two different times, and a different message each time. This appearance of God would be the final appearance of God the Father on earth with man, until the end of this earth age.

This last message that was given was directed to our time, and the specific task that God has assign those who know and understand His Word as to the signs and event that will come upon the earth, just prior to the Antichrist. God has given a "command" to the one clothed in the linen, to place that marking in the foreheads of those on earth. that marking is the knowledge from God Word, and placed in the minds of those who will believe. That understanding of the times, signs and events is the only thing that will keep the elect of God from being deceived by the Antichrist, thus destroying their soul.

Friend, if you read and understand God's Wrd, you are "the man in the linen", and you are the one that will daily report back to God as to your fulfilling God's command to placing the mark of knowledge in men and women minds. The reason we are to report back daily is another way of saying, we are asking God to water and harvest the seeds that we have planted. When you plant a seed of truth, do you follow it up with prayer and thanksgiving for that soul? That was the last order God gave you, and the next time you will see him on earth will be in His eternal kingdom.

In this age it takes the faith to believe what is in His Word, without having seen or heard our Lord in person. We take His Word as fact and truth, and we rest our entire life and soul of what is in that Word. That is faith, and that Word is what will place God's mark of knowledge in your mind that you will not be deceived.
