“When the living creatures
Moved,
The wheels
Moved beside them.
When the living creatures
Rose from the earth,
The wheels rose.
Wherever the Spirit
Would go,
They went.
The wheels
Rose along
With them.
The Spirit
Of the living creatures
Was in the wheels.
When they moved,
The others moved.
When they rose
From the earth,
The wheels rose
Along with them.
The Spirit
Of the living creatures
Was in the wheels.”
Ezekiel said that when the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. When the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels also rose. Wherever the Spirit would go, the living creatures went. The wheels went with them. The Spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. Thus when they moved, the others moved. Then repeating what was in the earlier verse, he said that when the living creatures rose from the earth, so did the wheels. Then repeating again, he said that the Spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. Thus there was a clear connection between the four living creatures and these wheels. I am not sure where this is going.
