THEIR WHEELS LIKE A WHIRLWIND. Isa. 5:28 Both wheels and whirlwind are intriguing. As used in his portion of the Word, they indicate judgment. Jer. 47:3 The rumbling or the tumult of the chariot wheels created great consternation and fear. This in a natural battle or warfare. How much greater will that fear be before the supernatural army of the Lord. Isa. 66:15 To see the power of the Lord that is to be seen in the time of His coming is impressive. It staggers the imagination. Repeatedly
the Word speaks to us about His coming with fire. This time the speed and force of His coming is like a whirlwind or a tornado. Jer.23:19 A storm of the wrath of God will break forth from the Lord. The wicked will be the recipients of His anger. Not a good future for the unrighteous.
THE HEBREW WORD FOR WHEEL IS; galgal. Strongs; a wheel; by analogy, a whirlwind also dust (as whirled). KJV. heaven, rolling thing, wheel. Gilgal is a variation of Galgal and bears the same meaning. A wheel or rolling thing. Josh. 4:19 The children of Israel crossed Jordan and pitched their camp in Gilgal. Josh. 4:20 It was the tenth day of the first month or the Passover month and the day when they were to chose a lamb of sacrifice. It was a new start for them. They were now in the
promised land but much labor was before them before they could inhabit it. Josh.5:7 While the scripture does not specify, that tenth day would have been a good choice for the next great even in their lives. Josh. 5:9 They were circumcised and the reproach of Egypt was removed from them. Because of this ceremony, the place was called Gilgal or rolling. Rom. 2:29 Circumcision of the heart must be executed in order to truly follow the Lord.
WHEELS OF GLORY. Dan. 7:9 The vision the Lord gave to Daniel was of that enduring, everlasting throne. The throne of fire. We shall live with the eternal glory of the Lord. The wheels were also of fire. Truly, our Lord is a God of fire. Eze. 1:4 Ezekiel saw an opened heavens. He also beheld a massive fire storm approaching. A hugh cloud formation filled with all manner of electrical activity, lightning and a bright gleaming light. He also saw the middle or the center to be like bright glowing metal. God, who is light will lighten up His throne presence with a glory that is beyond description. There is no night in His presence. No darkness nor shadow of darkness. No wonder the former things will never come to mind. Eze. 8:2 He gives us a word picture of the occupant of the throne. Warm glowing fire from the waist down and the brightness of glowing metal upwards. The Lord will be seen in all of His glory and majesty throughout the ages to come and we will be privileged to behold Him and be filled with that same glory and marvelous light.
