Ezequiel 1:1
It was not enough for one heaven to be opened; a greater number was opened, so that the angels descended not from one, but from all the heavens on those who were to be saved. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 1:7
Ezequiel 1:3
If you want to understand that this word is said about the Savior, do not hold back. The allegory has its own meaning as well, in this way: the Word of God comes to us as he who was born of the virgin, that is, man; as the Word who lives always in the Father. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 1:10
Ezequiel 1:4
When you have been purified by the sweeping wind, to the extent that it has swept away every evil from you and everything of evil character in your soul, then you will begin to benefit from the great cloud that envelopes the sweeping wind. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 1:12
Ezequiel 1:5
The cherubim are interpreted as the fullness of knowledge. Whoever is full of skill becomes a cherub that God drives. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 1:15
Ezequiel 1:16
If you consider the way in which the universe moves in different and contrary ways, whether you think it is in error or whether you think it is of a different nature from us, you see the meaning of "a wheel within a wheel." But as far as all that is concerned, the God of the whole universe directs everything and makes everything to move where he wills, in Christ Jesus, to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 1:16
Ezequiel 1:28
It is clear … that Ezekiel saw the cherubim and their course, and the firmament above them and the one seated on the throne. What could be more glorious and exalted than these things? — COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6:23
