Ezekiel's Vision of Chariot in Sky
Caption
Ezekiel's vision of chariot in sky and a hand in the clouds holding out a book to him, c.614 BC. "Bible": Ezekiel II:9. One modern explanation is that Ezekiel, on of the four great Hebrew prophets, observed parhelia (mock suns), a phenomenon caused by reflection from water droplets or minute particles in the earth's atmosphere.
