Prior to the so-called “modern age,” the peoples of the Earth were quite, how shall I say, “superstitious.” Even the apostle Paul mentioned that the peoples he encountered were given to the ‘superstition of the deities,’ so much so that they even built an altar to an “Unknown God,” to cover all the bases with regarding to worship so that they wouldn’t accidentally leave any god out and incur his or her wrath.
The peoples up until the last century were also quite superstitious. Some today still are, however, the vast majority of the peoples of this modern age have given up belief in deities and gods such that they are no longer interested or care whether gods exist or not.
Imagine if you would, if YOU were among the people gathered at Mt. Sinai. What would you think and how would you feel when Jah descended to the mountain. He did not/does not come alone. Jah is the God of gods. Note what the Psalmist and other writers wrote of Jah’s descent to the mountain (and other places).
Also, what would you “call” a “vehicle” that one comes in if you were living at that time? Without knowledge of modern technology or science fiction (which those peoples did not have), wouldn’t you too have called them “chariots”? Read on:
The war chariots of God are in tens of thousands, thousands over and over again. Jehovah himself has come from Si′nai into the holy place.—Psalms 68:17
Yes, the seventh one [in line] from Adam, E′noch, prophesied also regarding them, when he said: “Look! Jehovah came with his holy myriads. . . .—Jude 14
Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of the [true] God blessed the sons of Israel before his death. 2 And he proceeded to say: “Jehovah—from Si′nai he came, And he flashed forth from Se′ir upon them. He beamed forth from the mountainous region of Pa′ran, And with him were holy myriads, At his right hand warriors belonging to them.—Deuteronomy 33:1-2
And E•li′sha began to pray and say: “O Jehovah, open his eyes, please, that he may see.” Immediately Jehovah opened the attendant’s eyes, so that he saw; and, look! the mountainous region was full of horses and war chariots of fire all around E•li′sha.--2 Kings 6:17
“I kept on beholding until there were thrones placed and the Ancient of Days sat down. His clothing was white just like snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool. His throne was flames of fire; its wheels were a burning fire. 10 There was a stream of fire flowing and going out from before him. There were a thousand thousands that kept ministering to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand that kept standing right before him. The Court took its seat, and there were books that were opened.—Daniel 7:9-10
At this Jehovah said to Moses: “Look! I am coming to you in a dark cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with you, and that in you also they may put faith to time indefinite.” Then Moses reported the words of the people to Jehovah. 10 And Jehovah went on to say to Moses: “Go to the people, and you must sanctify them today and tomorrow, and they must wash their mantles. 11 And they must prove ready for the third day, because on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people upon Mount Si′nai. 12 And you must set bounds for the people round about, saying, ‘Guard yourselves against going up into the mountain, and do not touch the edge of it. Anybody touching the mountain will positively be put to death. 13 No hand is to touch him, because he will positively be stoned or will positively be shot through. Whether beast or man, he will not live.’ At the blowing of the ram’s horn they themselves may come up to the mountain.” 14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and he set about sanctifying the people; and they engaged in washing their mantles. 15 Accordingly he said to the people: “Get ready during the three days. Do not YOU men come near a woman.” 16 And on the third day when it became morning it came about that thunders and lightnings began occurring, and a heavy cloud upon the mountain and a very loud sound of a horn, so that all the people who were in the camp began to tremble. 17 Moses now brought the people out of the camp to meet the [true] God, and they went taking their stand at the base of the mountain. 18And Mount Si′nai smoked all over, due to the fact that Jehovah came down upon it in fire; and its smoke kept ascending like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain was trembling very much. 19 When the sound of the horn became continually louder and louder, Moses began to speak, and the [true] God began to answer him with a voice. 20 So Jehovah came down upon Mount Si′nai to the top of the mountain.—Exodus 19:9-20
Now all the people were seeing the thunders and the lightning flashes and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking. When the people got to see it, then they quivered and stood at a distance. 19 And they began to say to Moses: “You speak with us, and let us listen; but let not God speak with us for fear we may die.” 20 So Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid, because for the sake of putting YOU to the test the [true] God has come, and in order that the fear of him may continue before YOUR faces that YOU may not sin.” 21 And the people kept standing at a distance, but Moses went near to the dark cloud mass where the [true] God was.—Exodus 20:18-21
And he went on to say: “Therefore hear the word of Jehovah: I certainly see Jehovah sitting upon his throne and all the army of the heavens standing by him, to his right and to his left.—1 Kings 22:19
Will it be any different when the Son of Man arrives?
“When the Son of man arrives in his glory (or, said another way, fiery effulgence), and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.—Matthew 25:31
