Project Gutenberg 2009-10-14 Public domain in the USA. 129 Orton, Arthur W. The Four-Faced Visitors of Ezekiel Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Four-Faced Visitors of Ezekiel" by Arthur W. Orton is an interpretative exploration of the biblical text from the Book of Ezekiel, specifically its first chapter. Written in the early 1960s, this book can be categorized as a scientific publication that delves into speculative theology and ancient astronaut theory. Orton proposes that Ezekiel's account should be viewed through a modern lens, interpreting the enigmatic descriptions of celestial beings and their purported spacecraft as possible encounters with extraterrestrial visitors. In this compelling narrative, Orton meticulously analyzes Ezekiel's vision, depicting four creatures with four faces, wings, and the appearance of wheels, suggesting they represent advanced beings arriving from another world rather than mere angels from a spiritual realm. By employing a methodical approach similar to scientific documentation, Orton argues that these encounters reflect the intersection of ancient human experience and advanced technology, challenging traditional interpretations of the text. Ultimately, he posits that Ezekiel's account may serve as evidence of humanity's interactions with extraterrestrial life, revealing an intriguing blending of spirituality and science fiction that resonates with contemporary discussions about humanity's place in the universe.
