The Providence of God - Ezekiel 1:15-19

The conveyance of the mysterious and almost bizarre vision that Ezekiel shares as a representation of God's providence are a great blessing in helping us to better grasp God's glorious providence.

"Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four of them. The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another. Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved. As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about. Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also." - Ezekiel 1:15-19

Probably one of the strangest visions in scripture. The similarity to descriptions of UFOs is interesting.

The wheels signify divine providence. The Greeks and Romans used the wheel to represent the wondrous works of God.
