Ezekiel 1:20

"Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."

Key Reflection

This verse illustrates the unity and divine directive among the four living creatures and their accompanying wheels, emphasizing that they move as one under the sovereign control of a single spirit. This imagery underscores the interconnectedness and responsiveness to divine will, reflecting the concept of a unified, divinely guided creation.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Whithersoever the spirit of the four living creatures was to go, the wheels went - there was the spirit of the wheels to go. All four creatures together with their wheels are here called “the living creature,” because they formed a whole, one in motion, and in will, for one spirit was in them.
