Ezekiel 10:5-15

This last verse seems to throw some little light upon the subject, to guide us in our apprehension of the meaning of this mysterious scripture. If we compare what is here said, with a similar account, given in the book of the Revelations, we shall be able perhaps, in some degree, by the teaching of the Holy Ghost, to form an humble judgment of the glorious truth veiled under these expressions. See Revelation 4:1 throughout. The Prophet tells the Church, that the vision was one and the same with that which he was favoured with by the river Chebar, See Ezekiel 1:10. And as in that vision, one of the cherubims had the face of a man, as well as in this, there should seem to be no difficulty in supposing, that this denoted the human nature of Christ. And perhaps the whole of the representation of the cherubim, had an allusion to the glorious persons of the Godhead. And if so, while the distinction of person was thus preserved, the unity of the divine essence was no less implied, in what is said of one wheel, to whom a voice cried, and was heard by the Prophet, to this amount. But, as I before remarked, as God the Holy Ghost hath not been pleased to explain this wonderful scripture, it becomes us, with humble waitings, to be silent before him.
