God created man or man created God?

In the descriptions of God is common to find human traits, usually explained as the solution that the author found to describe the idea that he wanted to communicate. But these representations are used by God when it is displayed, which is suspect.

Ezekiel says that Jehovah occupies a sapphire throne goes smoothly. Why so complicated need the almighty transportation?, Is something that Ezekiel does not say, but proceeds to describe the body of God as half fire and half metal.

In Revelation, the throne is surrounded by an emerald rainbow and a crystal clear sea and its occupant shines like jasper. So much intrigued by references to gems. Who are important gemstones? What for God who supposedly created all and has no need of them or for us, we have given meaning and value? In Revelation Jesus wears a gold belt, but only for us it is important that detail.

It's like the prophetic period of thousand years, why God would choose exactly the number? Why a thousand years and not two hundred twenty-two, or five thousand four hundred twenty-nine? The number one thousand is only impressive to us humans, we have ten fingers and have the world in groups of ten and powers of ten. He was a man who had the idea of that number, a man who conceived and wrote the book.

The phenomena of heaven are described with man-made instruments: a scroll sealed, chandeliers, lamps, bowls, trumpets. The sky looks too much like Earth.

The God of Revelation sits on a throne as king and deal harps to the saints. Will be remembered that the monarchy and the music are human inventions?

From these examples it is clear that Jehovah and everything associated with it are fabrications of human origin, the authors abstractions adorned with its own symbols, images that only had meaning for those who wrote about them. God is a cultural production.

Update:

Thank you very much for your answers ladies and gentlemen.

Noe.

    The questions is, did man create symbols such as words from thought? Was the Bible put together & handled by people in a factory that creates books? Did man write & translate it to english on paper that man made? People lie & created the bible to deceive people just like the word Illuminati, there's your answer.

    God is a projection of man's ideals onto the world. Man made god.

    By definition, the Christian God never came into existence; that is, He is the uncaused cause (Psalm 90:2). He was always in existence and He is the one who created space, time, and matter. This means that the Christian God is the uncaused cause, and is the ultimate creator. This eliminates the infinite regression problem.

    Some may ask, "But who created God?" The answer is that by definition He is not created; He is eternal. He is the One who brought time, space, and matter into existence. Since the concept of causality deals with space, time, and matter, and since God is the one who brought space, time, and matter into existence, the concept of causality does not apply to God since it is something related to the reality of space, time, and matter. Since God is before space, time, and matter, the issue of causality does not apply to Him.

    whether you are a theist or not you are forced to admit that men have created thousands of gods. As a theist, you can only hope that both statements are true.

    God created man. Genesis 1:27- "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

    Ezekiel's descriptions of things tend to be somewhat batshit insane. There's a reason why I, and quite a few others, refer to him as "The Mad Prophet".
