Verse 19 of 28
Commentary
Commentary on Ezekiel 1:19
Theological / DevotionalWent by them. There is in vs. 19-21 somewhat of a repetition, but also a variety of expression. The description emphasizes the perfect coordination of the movements of the living creatures and the wheels. There is no independent operation, either on the part of the wheels or of the living creatures.
According to PK 535, 536 and 5T 751-754 the wheels, so complicated in their arrangement, represent human affairs and the events of history in all their play and counterplay. What to the unskilled observer appears to be hopeless confusion, the outworking of chance, the result of human ambition and caprice, is here presented as a harmonious pattern wrought out and guided by an infinite hand toward predetermined ends. For comment on the hand of God in history see on Dan. 4:17.
