When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn`t turn from beside them.

God's Perfect Control

The synchronized movement of the cherubim and wheels illustrates a profound truth: nothing in the world happens by accident. Commentators like Calvin and Henry explain that this vision shows God's sovereign providence, where all events and spiritual beings are directed by His single will and purpose. The wheels follow the cherubim because they are both moved by the same Spirit of God.
