Ezekiel 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:13

As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing
Or they were called, as the prophet heard in the vision, by the following name: O wheel,
or, "the wheel": for though there are several particular churches, yet they make up but one general assembly and Church of the firstborn, written in heaven; and will be all together in their perfect state, signified by the round form of the wheel; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15).

11 When they went, they went in any of their four directionswithout turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without turning as they went.
12 And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around--the wheels that the four of them had.
