An explanation of the wheels Ezekiel saw in chapters 1 and 10 of his book as being the realms and dimensions, with a broken down list and illustrations.

Ezekiel’s Vision of Wheels Explained: Realms and DimensionsI/W: 2021 TheoryThis post specifically looks at the wheels in Ezekiel’s vision talked about mainly in Chapters 1 and 10, but also mentioned in 3 and 11, of his book Ezekiel, being the realms and dimensions. It links to other posts from this blog to fill in context and hit on other parts of his vision. Reading these two posts first will fill in pretext:The Twelve Dimensions: A Simple ExplanationThe Four Realms: Spirit, Soul, Future/Past, and UsHere is a visual representation I put together of what the dimensions and realms theoretically look like together:A full circle represents a completed realm, which is labeled at the top of each circle. The numbers 1 through 12 on their own each label a dimension. One realm is made up of length, width, and height, each represented by a dimension.Here’s another picture with each realm separate to help visualize it easier if that one is confusing at all:It’s not a perfect visual representation of what they look like but it at least gives a pretty good idea for the purpose of this post. Each dimension is infinite so it’s technically impossible to draw them accurately. Where you see dimensions 1, 4, 7, and 10 represented as a line, it’s really an infinite amount of the dimension before.The Twelve Levels of Infinity of the Twelve DimensionsEzekiel’s Description of the Wheels and How They Are the Realms and DimensionsHere is a broken down numbered description list with verse citations of the wheels Ezekiel sees based on his description. These descriptions are taken from the English Standard Version Bible and another English translation from safaria.com. I used two translations to try and get a more accurate description from the passages.Under each bullet point description, I explain how the wheels are the same as the dimensions and realms. Any discrepancies are a result of either the complexity of the content, the translation from Hebrew to English, a failure of Ezekiel describing what he saw, a failure by me in any capacity, or any mixture of these things.1) “wheel”First, it’s important to note he used the word wheel. A wheel is different in nature than a circle or sphere. The suggestion is what he saw has movement. The realms have constant movement within them and the content within them are continually moving outward (ex. 3D universe). Also, a wheel doesn’t have points around its circumference, like a square for example, which is closer to the idea of infinite dimensions that don’t have points. This idea of infinity connects to point 7 too.2) One wheel for each creature (Ez 1:15)I explain this in the four realms post I linked above. Realm = wheel. Realm 1= human. Realm 2 = lion. Realm 3 = eagle. Realm 4 = cherub. Ox meaning is described in bullet point 9.3) Appearance like gleaming beryl (Ez 1:16; 10:9)Beryl is many things at once. Different colors, textures. It’s specifically talking about its appearance. This is what the 3D universe is like. There are stars in it that shine, different colors, and it’s all one. The higher dimensions and realms are “extensions” of the 3D universe which I explain in the twelve infinites post linked above, so they’d have a similar appearance.4) All four wheels have the same form or likeness (Ez 1:16; 10:10)Each realm/wheel has a length, width, and height, each represented by a dimension in the wheel, giving the same form or likeness to each wheel. But they are also different which you can see in the second picture above. It’s specified there are four wheels and one for each creature in bullet point 2, which suggests they are different in nature as well. If they weren’t there would more likely be one because they’d all be the same, or they would be described as four wheels that are the same as opposed to the same likeness or form which suggests they only have one or a few similar attributes to each other. For example, size and scope can be different than form or likeness. Bullet point 3 also hits on how they are similar in form or likeness.5) Appearance and structure of each as of two wheels cutting through each other or as if a wheel within a wheel (Ez 1:16; 10:10)This is referring to dimensions 2-3, 5-6, 8-9, and 11-12, each within their respective wheel/realm. I leave out dimensions 1, 4, 7, and 10 because they are only the length, you can’t get a wheel from the length component alone but need to add width to give it “form.” Ezekiel uses the term wheel in a different context here as it refers to a dimension as opposed to a realm. This bullet point (5) only refers to two wheels. I’ll just look at 2-3 in realm 1. Because the 3rd dimension is infinite there isn’t a start place so the 2nd dimension would be within it and/or cutting through it because it’s infinite too. It can’t be at the start or finish of the dimension, so it’s in the middle. Technically the 3rd dimension should be cutting through the 2nd dimension as well based on the description. It is going through it but cutting i...
