Ezekiel 10:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:12

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and
their wings
This is to be understood not of the wheels, to whom body or flesh, backs, hands, and wings, do not belong, but of the cherubim; and the sense is, that as the wheels were alike, and had one and the same form and appearance, so had the cherubim; they were exactly alike in their body, backs, hands, and wings; denoting the agreement between Gospel ministers, in their doctrine, work, and conversation: and the wheels [were] full of eyes round about;
that is, the rings or circles of the wheels, as in ( Ezekiel 1:18 ) ; signifying that churches consisted of enlightened persons, who had a sight of their sin and danger, and looked to Christ for salvation, and walked circumspectly, and watched over one another: [even] the wheels that they four had:
the wheels that belonged to the four living creatures or cherubim.

Ezekiel 10:12 In-Context

10 All four wheels looked the same. Each was like a wheel within a wheel.

11 Whenever the angels moved, they moved in any of the four directions without turning as they moved. They always moved in the direction they faced without turning as they moved.

12 Their entire bodies, their backs, hands, wings, and wheels were covered with eyes. Each of the angels had a wheel.

13 I heard that the wheels were called the whirling wheels.

14 Each of the angels had four faces. The first was the face of an angel, the second was the face of a human, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.
