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 of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.

16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.

17 When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
