Children of Ezekiel: Aliens, UFOs, the Crisis of Race, and the Advent of End Time

Exploring diverse areas such as Milton’s Paradise Lost , Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars defence programme and modern culture’s fascination with UFOs and alien abductions, this book traces cultural moments that descend from the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of a fiery divine chariot in the sky, from antiquity to the late 20th century. The book focuses on the idea that Ezekiel’s vision represented the technologically superior instrument of God’s righteous anger. Lieb argues that many who seek to know the unknowable that is the power of God conceive it in technological terms, and shows how the power is associated with political aims heralding the end of time.
