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 four cherubim had four faces: the first was the face of an ox, the second was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the same living beings I had seen beside the Kebar River.
16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved with them. When they lifted their wings to fly, the wheels stayed beside them.
17 When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stopped. When they flew upward, the wheels rose up, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
18 Then the glory of the LORD moved out from the entrance of the Temple and hovered above the cherubim.
