The Wheels within the wheels (Ezekiel 1:15-21)

 As I looked at these beings, I saw four wheels on the ground beneath them, one wheels belonging to each.  The wheels sparkled as if made of chrysolite.  All four wheels looked the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it.  The beings could move forward in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved.  The rims of the four wheels were awesomely tall, and they were covered with eyes all around the edges.  When the four living beings moved, the wheels moved with them.  When they flew upward, the wheels went up, too.  When the living beings stopped, the wheels stopped.  When the living beings flew in the air, the wheels rose up too.  For the Spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

I see these wheels within the wheels, each wheel within the big wheel crosswise.  The wheels as the son of man laying his life down across the big wheel of God in all its aspect, as the son of man, Jesus brought his life to God as a living sacrifice being to us an example of that conformity.  As the lion of Judah, being an example of worship since Judah means 'Praise'.  Canceling altogether the worship approach of the Law by sacrifices of animals.  The Lion of Judah being victorious over the battles of Israel, fighting for us and upholding us always.  The ox, a beast of burden, lifting our burden to the Father and being an example of prayer according to his will.  Finally, the eagle, an emblem of agility and precision and determination to rise above the winds of adversity and giving us the wisdom and foresight while facing them.  All the living beings working together and receiving life and guidance from the wheels in which is the Spirit.  Complex yet simple, the will of God should be yielded to, as Jesus obeyed it to the cross.  Thus the crosswise pattern of the wheels similar to the cross.  He laid his life within the will and hands of the Father, willingly and just said, "Here I come"

This fits perfectly as we follow through the rest of the chapters.  The message that Ezekiel was to give to rebellious Israel and then, its destruction.  Even the example of king Jehoiakin parallels perfectly with the destruction of the land of Israel, but as it is always the case, there's still hope at the end.  We will just have to wait and see.

Have a great day!
