Ezekiel 1:21

When those went, [these] went; and when those stood, [these]

When ministers are active and lively, then the churches are; but when they are indolent, dull, and inactive, then the churches are so likewise: and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up
over against them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19); for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels;
or, "the spirit of life", as in ( Ezekiel 1:20 ) ; see ( Revelation 11:11 ) .

Ezekiel 1:21 In-Context

19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.

20 Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21 When they moved, the others moved; when they stopped, the others stopped; and when they rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22 Over the heads of the living creatures there was something like a dome, shining like crystal, spread out above their heads.

23 Under the dome their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another; and each of the creatures had two wings covering its body.
