Ezekiel 1:21

When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood ,.... When ministers are active and lively, then the churches are; but when they are indolent, dull, and inactive, then the churches are so likewise:

and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them ; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19 ;

for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels ; or, "the spirit of life", as in Ezekiel 1:20 ; see Revelation 11:11 .
