Many find the Book of Ezekiel difficult. Although the vivid descriptions of Ezekiel’s visions are enticing, their complexity is challenging.

In particular, the wheels of the Chariot Vision caught my attention, as wheels are such an important technological tool in our world, and I decided to look further.
