I was not giving out false information, I merely said that the words orb, ball, globe or sphere did not exist in 5th century BC. These words did not come into existence until around the 1500's. I have read that the word used in Isaiah for round was uncommon for that day. Quite frankly, it is irrelevant because it is obvious that Ezekiel saw orbs.

Strong's Hebrew: 1754. דּוּר (dur) -- a circle, ball

the word has 3 uses: a circle, a ball, sphere or orb, or a balled-up heap or pile.
Isaiah wrote over a hundred years before Ezekiel, and properly used the word in the sense of a sports ball.
He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
(Isaiah 22:18)
in the NIV the same word is translated "pile"
take the pick of the flock. Pile wood beneath it for the bones; bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
(Ezekiel 24:5)
the idea being 'ball up a bunch of wood' beneath the bones.
just because the scripture doesn't have much occasion to talk about playing ball doesn't mean the word didn't exist in the vocabulary.

really?
... *sigh* ...
No, I did not say that the actual word 'ball' was used in 2500 BC. What I said was that animal bladders were used as a toy. Today, we would refer to these animal bladders as 'a ball'....
the cultures that used these bladders had their own words for them. Hebrew would be one of those cultures.

this probably isn't worth the effort, but:
photo forensic ELA tool results: FotoForensics - Analysis
areas of high contrast like edges should have the same brightness level on an ELA reading. note that the circumference of the 'orb' is only visible on the right side in the ELA though clearly an area of high contrast in it's full circle in the original image. this is evidence that it may have been altered, and consistent with layering a low-opacity image of a face on top of the 'orb'
this isn't conclusive but suspicious, and "because random internet guy who writes a paranormal blog says it's legit" isn't conclusive either.
interestingly, the metadata shows the flash was on in this picture. just like in every other picture of dust orbs.

So we have the supernatural orb appearing before Ezekiel with Father God and Cherubim. We have Father God inspiring a young modern day artistic genius to paint "live bubbles" through dreams. We have seen the supernatural orb descending like a dove, hovering like the Spirit of God over the face of the waters and bearing witness as the Spirit of truth.
