EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Ezekiel's visionary encounter with a chariot in the sky and a hand emerging from the clouds, offering him a book. Dating back to around 614 BC, this powerful biblical scene is found in the Book of Ezekiel II:9. Interpreting this ancient event through modern scientific knowledge, some suggest that Ezekiel might have witnessed parhelia or "mock suns". These optical phenomena occur when sunlight reflects off water droplets or tiny particles present in Earth's atmosphere. This intriguing explanation adds an extra layer of depth to the story. Engraved on copperplate in 1804, this image beautifully combines elements of religion, literature, and meteorology. Ezekiel was one of the four great Hebrew prophets whose visions continue to inspire Judeo-Christian traditions. The hand reaching out with a book symbolizes divine revelation and guidance bestowed upon Ezekiel during his extraordinary experience. It serves as a reminder that even amidst mysterious occurrences and profound moments, wisdom can be found within sacred texts. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance within religious history. May it spark curiosity about ancient beliefs while also inviting contemplation on how science can shed light on age-old mysteries.
