The churches by the ministers: of these "wheels", and why the churches are so called, and of their number "four", and their situation "by" the cherubim, See Gill on "Eze 1:15";one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: a minister to a church; every church has its own pastor, elder, or overseer, by it, and over it:and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone; a precious stone of a sea green; See Gill on "Eze 1:16".
