Ezekiel 1:14

14 et animalia ibant et revertebantur in similitudinem fulguris coruscantis

Ezekiel 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:14

And the living creatures ran
Did their work with great readiness and swiftness; so, especially in the latter day, ministers of the Gospel shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased, ( Daniel 12:4 ) ; and returned;
for though before it is said, "they turned not when they went", they kept straight on till they had done their work; but when they have done it, then they return, and give an account of it to him that has sent them: and their running and returning are said to be, as the appearance of a flash of lightning;
very sudden and swift.

Ezekiel 1:14 In-Context

12 et unumquodque coram facie sua ambulabat ubi erat impetus spiritus illuc gradiebantur nec revertebantur cum ambularent

13 et similitudo animalium aspectus eorum quasi carbonum ignis ardentium et quasi aspectus lampadarum haec erat visio discurrens in medio animalium splendor ignis et de igne fulgor egrediens

14 et animalia ibant et revertebantur in similitudinem fulguris coruscantis

15 cumque aspicerem animalia apparuit rota una super terram iuxta animalia habens quattuor facies

16 et aspectus rotarum et opus earum quasi visio maris et una similitudo ipsarum quattuor et aspectus earum et opera quasi sit rota in medio rotae
