The chariots of Israel making their presence known more and more. Our ancestors in the past commonly saw them during the times of battles/confrontations with out enemies. If you search enough you’ll find that the various heathen nations saw them during times of battle as well. During the time of Numbers our forfathers were guided through the wilderness by a chariot.
Numbers 9:15 | And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. 16So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
