Is Ezekiel chapter 1 a vision or did that actually happen?
Eze 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that
the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
I think it was a vision
also Ezekiel is called Son of man, like Jesus also was. Is that general term for human being? Did Jesus want to promote the idea that he was God in a human body when he said Son of man?
Some people say that Ezekiel was one of the incarnations of Jesus. As in, his spirit occupied Ezekiel, then Jesus later on. Some of them think he was a whole bunch of people, lol.
I wondered about the son of man term in Ezekiel also. Here are more verses.
Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Psa 146:3 Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Dan 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me,
Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Jer 51:43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth,
neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
Eze 43:18
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
Mat 9:6
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
Looks like a reference to people (humans).
