Ezekiel 1:18
_ _ rings — that is, felloes or circumferences of the wheels.
_ _ eyes — The multiplicity of eyes here in the wheels, and Ezekiel 10:12, in the cherubim themselves, symbolizes the plenitude of intelligent life, the eye being the window through which “the spirit of the living creatures” in the wheels (Ezekiel 1:20) looks forth (compare Zechariah 4:10). As the wheels signify the providence of God, so the eyes imply that He sees all the circumstances of each case, and does nothing by blind impulse. |
Ezekiel 1:18
The rings — The circumference of the wheels. Dreadful — Their very height imprest a fear on the beholder. Them four — Every one of the four wheels. How fitly do the wheels, their motion, their height, and eyes, signify the height, unsearchableness, wisdom, and vigilance of the Divine Providence. |
