creatures, with his four faces. Ezek 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance
and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. Ezek 1:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. Ezek 1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. Ezek 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures
were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Ezek 1:20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of
the living creature was in the wheels. Ezek 1:21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over
against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. Ezek 10:9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance
of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. Ezek 10:10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst
of a wheel. Ezek 10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but
to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
Ezek 10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels,
were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. Ezek 10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. Ezek 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an
eagle. Ezek 10:15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of
Chebar. Ezek 10:16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the
cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not
from beside them. Ezek 10:17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. Ezek 10:18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims. Ezek 10:19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went
out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. et ceteraAs Written:&c – This is all wonderful- but don’t think I am asking questions- I am not-
