Th Spirit repeats twice the line, "wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went. Jesus similarly sent his disciples to do their ministries. The four living creatures darted to and fro like the appearance of a flash of lightening..
The wheels primarily refer to the throne of God in Dan.7:9 I t is judgement time and of angelic revolt is not relevant for the present but what the Spirit wants us to understand is that Judgment is set and the books were opened.

The sound of the wheels and the wings have their own coloring and meaning. In this context what shall we make of the cloud mentioned in Ch.1:4?
