Ezequiel 1:24

24 Y oí el ruido de sus alas cuando andaban, como el estruendo de muchas aguas, como la voz del Todopoderoso ^[a] , un ruido de tumulto como el ruido de un campamento militar; cuando se detenían, bajaban sus alas.

Ezequiel 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:24

And when they went
In their ministrations, preaching the Gospel, and administering ordinances: I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters:
so the voice of Christ, which is no other than his Gospel preached by his ministers, is said to be as the sound of many waters, ( Revelation 1:15 ) ; which is heard a great way off, as the Gospel ministry is, even to the ends of the earth; thither the sound of the apostles' words reached, ( Romans 10:18 ) ; and which, as they move with great force, yield a pleasant sound of and may denote both the energy of the word, and the delightfulness of it: as the voice of the Almighty;
the Gospel being the word of God, and not of man; which is quick and powerful, and full of majesty, and works effectually in them that believe: the voice of speech;
an articulate voice, a human one, pronounced by men, whom God employs to deliver out his mind and will: as the noise of an host;
the church being militant, to whom they minister; so that their voice, in their ministry, is sometimes reproving, convincing, confuting, contending, and disputing, as well as teaching and instructing. The Targum is,

``and the voice of their words, when they confess and bless the Lord, the living everlasting King, is as the voice of the host of angels on high:''

when they stood, they let down their wings;
those two with which they flew, and with them covered their faces, or some part of their bodies, as ashamed of their own unworthiness and imperfections; or this may denote their having done their work, and finished their course.

Ezequiel 1:24 In-Context

22 Sobre las cabezas de los seres vivientes había algo semejante a un firmamento con el brillo deslumbrante de un cristal, extendido por encima de sus cabezas.

23 Y debajo del firmamento sus alas se extendían derechas, la una hacia la otra; cada uno tenía dos que cubrían sus cuerpos por un lado y por el otro.

24 Y oí el ruido de sus alas cuando andaban, como el estruendo de muchas aguas, como la voz del Todopoderoso , un ruido de tumulto como el ruido de un campamento militar; cuando se detenían, bajaban sus alas.

25 También hubo un ruido por encima del firmamento que había sobre sus cabezas; cuando se detenían, bajaban sus alas.

26 Y sobre el firmamento que estaba por encima de sus cabezas había algo semejante a un trono, de aspecto como de piedra de zafiro; y en lo que se asemejaba a un trono, sobre él, en lo más alto, había una figura con apariencia de hombre.
