Ezekiel 1:25

25. “When they stood, they let down their wings” (Hebrews) This statement is important. It shows that Ezekiel received his commission after the movement of the wings had ceased. The voice which he heard was not the confused “voice of speech,” which the wings imitated. He wished no one to be deceived by any such imagination, and therefore repeated the statement that before the voice spoke to him, the cherubim had let down their wings. The voice came from “above the firmament” and was the voice of One upon a throne, which throne he saw when the cherubim let down their wings.

What but God,

Inspiring God! who, boundless Spirit all

And unremitting Energy, pervades,

Adjusts, sustains, and agitates the whole.
