Cherubim and Whirling Wheels!

Ezekiel 10

Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Thursday, June 13.

We are commanded to worship God alone, to never bow down to any created thing, regardless of whether it’s in the natural or spiritual realm. There are very few books in the Bible that describe the supernatural more than Ezekiel. The Cherubim, who magnify the holiness and power of God, are described in Ezekiel 10:3-5:

Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord. Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.

Accompanying them are the whirling wheels, which represent the omniscience and omnipotence of God, in Ezekiel 10:9-13:

Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone. As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel. … Their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were full of eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them. The wheels were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.

These are awe-inspiring creatures! We learn how to respond to the supernatural from the angel of Revelation 22:9, who rebuked John when he bowed before him, “Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the words of this book. Worship God.”

Seize the moment and worship God, whose omniscience sees all and omnipotence rules all.

God bless you!
