Ezekiel 10:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:16

And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them
Ministers being guides to the churches in doctrine, worship, devotion, and conversation; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19); and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth,
the same wheels also turned not from beside them;
ministers and churches go together; if the one remove, the other do also; they cannot long subsist without each other; and, generally speaking, as are the light, knowledge, zeal, affection, and devotion of the one, such are those of the other; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19).

Ezekiel 10:16 In-Context

14 Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar.

16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.

17 When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
