Ezekiel 1:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:21

When those went, [these] went; and when those stood, [these]
stood
When ministers are active and lively, then the churches are; but when they are indolent, dull, and inactive, then the churches are so likewise: and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up
over against them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19); for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels;
or, "the spirit of life", as in ( Ezekiel 1:20 ) ; see ( Revelation 11:11 ) .

Ezekiel 1:21 In-Context

19 Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels moved with them, and if the creatures rose up from the earth, so did the wheels.
20 The creatures went wherever they wished, and the wheels did exactly what the creatures did, because the creatures controlled them.
21 So every time the creatures moved or stopped or rose in the air, the wheels did exactly the same.
22 Above the heads of the creatures there was something that looked like a dome made of dazzling crystal.
23 There under the dome stood the creatures, each stretching out two wings toward the ones next to it and covering its body with the other two wings.
