“And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.”
Ezekiel 1:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 1:23
The wings 'stretched upward' and 'straight' demonstrate the perpetual readiness and perfect alignment of God's servants toward divine purposes. Two wings covering bodies (parallel to Isaiah 6:2) represents reverence and humility even among sinless beings. The covering suggests recognition of creature limitation before Creator glory. This models worship's proper posture: reaching toward God while acknowledging our unworthiness. Even perfect beings recognize the infinite gulf between Creator and creature.
