📚 Historical Context

The book of Ezekiel records visions given to the prophet Ezekiel during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, as a message of judgment and hope for Israel. In this specific vision in chapter 10, Ezekiel describes the glory of God departing from the temple in Jerusalem, featuring cherubim with wheels that symbolize the divine mobility and sovereignty of God. These wheels were part of a broader imagery illustrating God's active presence and judgment amid the nation's unfaithfulness.
