For the remembrance of the vision which he had received remained in the Prophet&#8217;s mind: but now when he is hurried into the temple, he recognizes the same God and the same forms as those to which he had been accustomed. We see then how he meets their perverseness, who had otherwise boasted that he had offered them only his own fictions without any truth in them. Hence he restrains this petulance, and shows that God had certainly appeared to him, and that too a second time. Since he now says  that each living creature went, forward in the direction of its face,  it is not doubtful that this refers to their actions. Hence he points out that angels did not wander in their course as a person usually does who looks this way and that, or deserts the path, or turns to the right hand or the left. The Prophet therefore says, that the living creatures proceeded so that each was intent on its own end or scope: because if the motion of the angels had been turbulent, they had not been the servants of God. Finally, the Prophet signifies that the angels were not only alert and prepared for obedience, but were at the same time arranged and formed after a fixed rule, so that they did not in the slightest degree turn aside from. the command and direction of God  (228) It now follows &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>  (228) The explanation which Calvin gives of the meaning of these singular Disclosures is indeed very adverse to our modern ideas of those physical laws by which the Almighty governs the universe; and they will not perhaps be easily adopted by those who have been inspired with the philosophy of Bacon and Newton. The reader of Calvin may with satisfaction con-suit C. B. Michaelis&#8217;  Sylloge Comment. Theol.,  edited by D. T. Pott, volume 5, and following; Lightfoot&#8217;s  Description of the Temple,  volume 1; and Jahn&#8217;s  Bibl.

Villalpandus, two Jesuits, published at Rome in 1596 and 1604, by the permission of their superiors, illustrates this tenth chapter very copiously, and displays great diligence, erudition, and accuracy. Another valuable exegetical exposition of this chapter is given by OEcolampadius in his  Comment. in omn. libr. Prophet.,  edit. 1558; he occupies eighteen folio pages with an elaborate comment under the title  &#8220;    Expositio mysterii quod hac visione adumbratur   ,&#8221;  in which he sees   Christus dominus glorioe   and   gratia est firmamentum justitioe Christi   The discussion of the Cherubim is very complete, though it may be well to consult the article in Kitto&#8217;s  Biblical Cyclopedia  on the word &#8220;Cherub.&#8221; Rosenmuller, in his valuable  Scholia,  makes constant use of the Arable and Syriac versions, quotes fully from the Greek. of Theodoret, and diligently compares the Hebrew Codices of Kennicott and De Rossi, as well as the Greek texts of the Roman Codex, the Complutensian, and the Alexandrine. With such   adminicula   the reader of these Lectures on Ezekiel will have sufficient  data  for forming a correct judgment on the merits of Calvin&#8217;s interpretation. <\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Calvin&#8217;s Complete Commentary<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> Lord! I pray thee to give both Writer and Reader, a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ Jesus: without which this scripture, yea all the scriptures of our God, will be as a sealed book, and a vision not opened. And if, Almighty Lord, there be anything leading to Jesus in this divine chapter, oh, do thou lead my soul also to the knowledge of him, that knowing him, I may be growing up to the knowledge and love of him forever. And oh, precious Lord Jesus! as in thine infinite condescension thou didst once appear, as the intercessor of thy redeemed, give me to look up, and view thee in the same character still: yea, Lord, may I follow thee by faith, when thou goest up from the cherub, and see thee entered into the holy of holies, yea, into heaven itself, there to appear in the presence of God for us. Oh! thou dear, thou glory-man Christ Jesus; give me to be clothed with thy righteousness, that when thou comest finally to judge the world, and to scatter indignation and wrath upon all the adversaries of God, as the fire here spoken of was scattered between the wheels; in thy righteousness I may have confidence, and not be ashamed before thee at thy coming.
