20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to YHWH—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says YHWH.

20 "And they shall bring all your brothers out of all nations as an offering to YHWH, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says YHWH, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of YHWH."

Chariots Driven by Divine Beings

In Homer’s works, specifically in the Iliad, there are mentions of celestial chariots driven by horses that produce noise as they fly above.

These chariots are described as covering vast distances in an instant, a concept that parallels descriptions found in the Bible.

The chariots are often accompanied by clouds, reinforcing their supernatural nature.

Elijah and others are aware of his impending ascent in a chariot of fire, pulled by horses of fire, a description that parallels the divine chariots in Homer’s works.

Sacred Oath: The kings would gather in the Temple of Poseidon, a grand and richly adorned structure that housed a golden statue of Poseidon and his chariot.

Take their Sons: The king will conscript their sons to serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run before his chariots (1 Samuel 8:11).

Appoint Commanders: He will appoint commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots (1 Samuel 8:12).

11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

Depiction: Surya is depicted riding a chariot drawn by seven horses, representing the seven days of the week or the seven colors of the rainbow.

The practitioner emphasizes that these beings were often interpreted through the lens of the times, leading to descriptions like "chariots from the heavens."

For example, Krishna's divine chariot and his battles with King Salva.

Biblical

Golden objects

26 Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. 29 They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty.[g] They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.

Alalu skillfully put the chariot's wings around the earth's bowl to make a circle.

With his heart raising, Alalu decided to think about will he crash and die if he let his chariot fall on the dry land, should he go straight into the water where he might sink into oblivion.

Alalu was not moving in the eagle seat and he gave the chariot the faith.

The chariot moved faster because it moved faster in the earth's net, its spread wings lit up, and the air around the earth was like an oven.

Then the chariot started to shake, making a terrible thunder sound.

The chariot crashed suddenly and all of a sudden it stopped.

Phaethon, eager to prove his divine lineage, asked his father to let him drive the sun chariot across the sky for a day.
