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 Las cuatro ruedas tenĂ­an el mismo aspecto, es decir, brillaban como el topacio y tenĂ­an la misma forma. Su estructura era tal que cada rueda parecĂ­a estar encajada dentro de la otra.
17 Las ruedas podĂ­an avanzar en las cuatro direcciones sin tener que volverse.
18 Las cuatro ruedas tenĂ­an grandes aros y estaban llenas de ojos por todas partes.
19 Cuando los seres vivientes avanzaban, las ruedas a su lado hacían lo mismo, y cuando se levantaban del suelo, también se levantaban las ruedas.
20 Los seres iban adonde el espĂ­ritu los impulsaba, y las ruedas se elevaban juntamente con ellos, porque el espĂ­ritu de los seres vivientes estaba en las ruedas.
