11<\/strong>. Ch. Eze 1:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n the head looked<\/em> ] i.e. the front of the chariot. The word is hardly to be rendered the principal, or foremost, referring to the wheels. Cf. ch. Eze 1:12<\/span>; Eze 1:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n The head – <\/B>Either the leading wheel which the others followed, or more probably, the head of a cherub (one for all), the description passing from the wheels to the cherubim Eze 10:12<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n When they went; <\/B>whensoever they did go, what occasion soever they had to go. <\/P> They went; <\/B>the wheels, moved by the cherubims, or that spirit of life which moved the living creatures. These wheels were so framed, that they could move on all four sides without the difficulty and delay of turning. See Eze 1:17<\/span>. The head<\/I> of the living creatures; the Spirit, as Eze 1:12<\/span>,20<\/span>; an admirable wisdom did guide and manage all. <\/P> They followed it; <\/B>the wheels do certainly and orderly follow. <\/P> They turned not; <\/B>divert not from the designed course and work till finished. <\/P> <\/p>\n 11.<\/B> (See on Eze1:17<\/span>). <\/P> turned not<\/B>withoutaccomplishing their course (Isa55:11<\/span>) [GROTIUS].Rather, “they moved straight on<\/I> without turning” (soEze 1:9<\/span>). Having a face towardseach of the four quarters, they needed not to turn around whenchanging their direction. <\/P> whither . . . headlooked<\/B>that is, “whither the head” of the animalcherub-form, belonging to and directing each wheel, “looked,”thither the wheel “followed.” The wheels were not guided bysome external adventitious impetus, but by some secret divine impulseof the cherubim themselves.<\/P><\/p>\n When they went, they went upon their four sides<\/strong>,…. Which four sides they had, by being made in the transverse way before mentioned; just as the New Jerusalem church state is said to be foursquare, Re 21:16<\/span>; and this may denote the uniformity of Gospel churches in every state and condition, prosperous and adverse; and the constancy of their walk, conduct, and conversation:<\/p>\n they turned not as they went<\/strong>: neither to the right hand or the left, but went on in the path of faith and duty, keeping close to the word of God, and keeping up a conversation, discipline, and worship, according to it:<\/p>\n but to the place where the head looked they, followed it<\/strong>; meaning either the rulers, guides, and governors of churches, pastors and elders; whose faith and conversation are followed by the members: or rather Christ himself, the head of the church, who is to be followed whithersoever he goes or directs: unless by the head is meant the same as the spirit, Eze 1:20<\/span>; the Spirit of God, by whom the true members of Gospel churches are led, and after whom they walk. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “the place to which the first turned (or looked), after it they went;”<\/p>\n that is, the first of the wheels; and so may signify that the primitive churches are the pattern after which all the churches in after ages are to go;<\/p>\n they turned not as they went<\/strong>; this is repeated partly for the confirmation of it; and partly to excite attention to it, as being worthy of observation; [See comments on Eze 1:17]<\/span>.<\/p>\n Now, as I have remarked, after the Prophet has granted that there are certain events of things as it were twisted and bending, and that God acts through windings, he then shows that God does nothing rashly: and that the events which we think tumultuous and confused have a certain direction, and that too the best. For this reason he says, first that the wheels had set out, they did not return, since each followed its own head Interpreters do not agree on these words. For as to the turning of the head, some translate it “ the first,” and thus mean that in whatever way the first cherub goes, the others follow him. But I rather think that the wheels are compared with the cherubs themselves, and the singular noun head is here put for heads: for we before saw that wheels were annexed to each cherub, Therefore each wheel has its own head, that is, has a living creature by which it is ruled. Hence the sense of the Prophet is, that the ‘wheels turned on this side or on that, by any outward or sudden impulse, but were governed by the cherubim themselves, which will explain this portion more clearly. <\/p>\n ‘When they went they went on their four sides. They turned not as they went. But to the place where the head looked, they followed it. They turned not as they went.’<\/p>\n The fours sides would be north, south, east and west, and when they moved they moved directly forward without being diverted. Thus they had freedom of travel and a certain inevitability about their progress. Nothing could frustrate their purpose. This latter is emphasised by being mentioned twice.<\/p>\n And they went where the head (or chief) looked. This may refer to ‘the cherub’, the anointed one, as chief among them, or to the heads of each of the cherubim (compare Eze 10:14<\/span> and Eze 10:16<\/span>), depending on whether we see the ‘they’ as being the wheels (Eze 10:10<\/span>) or the cherubim (Eze 10:12<\/span>). Or it may even refer to the head of Yahweh on His throne. He had only to look and they went where He looked.<\/p>\n Eze 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 11. Upon their four sides.<\/strong> ] That is, to their several quarters assigned them by God, who doth things methodically, and in order. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But to the place whither the head looked.<\/strong> ] a<\/em> That is, God, who guided the whole chariot by a universal and equal inspiration.

A thing that would be physically impossible may be supposed in a symbol, if it will truly represent a possibility in some spiritual or other intelligent institution. If an object had a head on each of Its four sides, then the body of that object could follow the head in any of tbe directions without turning about.<\/p>\n 10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they {f} turned not as they went.<\/p>\n (f) Until they had executed God’s judgments.<\/p>\n 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. 11.
