28. Wheels, Wings, and the Throne: Understanding Ezekiel’s Vision

On today’s Wise Counsel, host Robert Smith explores Ezekiel 1 — one of the Bible’s most mysterious and symbolically charged passages. What did Ezekiel really see by the Chebar Canal? Was it merely a dazzling hallucination, or something far more theologically profound? Drawing from biblical scholars such as Dr. Michael Heiser and Dr. Daniel Block, this episode uncovers the meaning behind the wheels, wings, and fiery throne. Along the way, we'll trace how American culture — from Cold War UFO mania to modern media like Indiana Jones and Stranger Things — often projects fear or fascination onto the unknown. In contrast, Scripture calls us to reframe mystery through a sacred lens. Tune in for a powerful reflection on God’s presence in exile, and what it means for us today.
