“Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.”
Ezekiel 1:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 1:9
The joined wings represent unity of purpose among God's servants—no independent action, but coordinated obedience to divine will. 'They turned not when they went' emphasizes unwavering focus; unlike humans who waver and look back (Luke 9:62), these beings move straight toward God's purposes. Going 'every one straight forward' pictures the directness of divine action—God's will advances without deviation or compromise. This challenges our tendency toward spiritual meandering.
