Ezekiel is returned to the captivity Then the cherubim The term "cherubim" refers to angelic beings often associated with the presence and majesty of God. In Hebrew, "cherubim" (כְּרוּבִים) is the plural form of "cherub." These beings are depicted as guardians of sacred spaces, such as the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24) and the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:18-22). In Ezekiel's vision, the cherubim symbolize the divine presence and the holiness of God. Their role as protectors and carriers of God's throne underscores the transcendence and sovereignty of God over all creation. with the wheels beside them spread their wings and the glory of the God of Israel was above them Persons / Places / Events 1. CherubimAngelic beings often associated with the presence and glory of God. In Ezekiel, they are depicted as part of God's divine chariot-throne. 2. Wheels Part of the vision of God's chariot-throne, symbolizing movement and the omnipresence of God. The wheels are described as being full of eyes, indicating divine awareness and insight. 3.

Teaching Points God's Sovereignty and PresenceThe vision of the cherubim and wheels emphasizes God's sovereignty and His ability to be present everywhere. Despite the physical temple's destruction, God's presence is not confined to a building. Judgment and Hope The departure of God's glory signifies judgment, but it also sets the stage for eventual restoration. God's discipline is always coupled with the promise of hope and renewal. Holiness and Reverence The imagery of God's glory should inspire awe and reverence. Believers are called to live in a way that honors God's holiness, recognizing His majesty and authority. Spiritual Insight and Awareness The eyes on the wheels symbolize divine insight. Christians are encouraged to seek spiritual discernment and awareness in their daily lives, aligning their vision with God's perspective.(22) And the wheels beside them.--These are the wheels described as with the cherubim, and animated in their movements by one common impulse with them and, as all along, the Divine glory was above.Verses 22, 23. - Another stage of the departure of the Divine glory closes the vision. It had rested over the middle of the city. It now halts over the mountain on the east side of the city, i.e. on the Mount of Olives (2 Samuel 15:30; Zechariah 14:4). Currey mentions, but without a reference, a Jewish tradition that the Shechinah, or glory cloud, remained there for three years, calling the people to repentance. What is here recorded may trove suggested the thought of Zechariah 14:4. We may remember that it was from this spot that Christ "beheld the city, and wept over it" (Luke 19:41); that from it He, the true Shechinah, ascended into heaven. Here, perhaps, the dominant thought was that it remained for a time to direct the work of judgment.
