It's "The Four Faced Visitors of Ezekiel", which originally appeared in the March 1961 issue of Analog SF magazine.
The author suggests that Ezekiel might have actually encountered aliens visiting in a UFO, but the story was filtered through his own knowledge and preconceptions.
(I had an amusing go-around with the PG cataloger, who placed it in the Bible. O.T. Ezekiel -- Criticism, interpretation, etc. category, and didn't see why I thought it might better be under SF...  )

Oh hell, my classmates and I had that theory down by the time we were 8 years old.
Sing it together now, friends 'n' neighbors:
"Ezekiel saw--the whee-el,
Waaaaaaaay up in the middle of the air..."
I came up with the idea that it was actually the Chinese who had invented something capable of flight and all my friends thought I was nuts.
