Ezequiel 1:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:18

As for their rings, they were so high, that they were
dreadful
The circles and circumferences of them were "high": which may denote the visibility and extensiveness of the churches of Christ, especially in the latter day; when they shall be exalted above the mountains and hills, the kingdoms and states of this world; and there shall be such numerous additions to them, that the place will be too strait for the members of them to dwell in, ( Isaiah 2:2 ) ( 49:20 ) ; and "they were dreadful"; terrible, as the churches of Christ will be to their enemies to look at, when they shall be in their exalted state, ( Revelation 11:12 Revelation 11:13 ) ; or the words may be rendered, "and they had fear" ^F19; there was fear and reverence in them; the fear of God, and a reverential affection for him; they were waiting on him, and attending his worship with great reverence and godly fear: and their rings [were] full of eyes round about them four;
everyone of the four wheels, and each of their four semicircles, were full of eyes; expressive of the knowledge of the Gospel, and the truths of it, in church members; their continual looking to Christ for fresh supplies of grace and strength; and their constant watchfulness over each other.

Ezequiel 1:18 In-Context

16 El aspecto de las ruedas y su hechura era como el brillo del crisólito, y las cuatro tenían la misma forma; su aspecto y su hechura eran como si una rueda estuviera dentro de la otra rueda.

17 Cuando andaban, se movían en las cuatro direcciones, sin volverse cuando andaban.

18 Sus aros eran altos e imponentes, y los aros de las cuatro estaban llenos de ojos alrededor.

19 Y cuando los seres vivientes andaban, las ruedas se movían con ellos. Y cuando los seres vivientes se levantaban de la tierra, las ruedas también se levantaban.

20 Y adondequiera que iba el espíritu, iban ellos en esa dirección. Y las ruedas se levantaban juntamente con ellos; porque el espíritu de los seres vivientes estaba en las ruedas.
