A few days ago, the Lord emphasized the word ‘relocation’ (Hebr. ‘nāśā`’), which in Hebrew is connected with ‘the blowing away of chaff by the wind or the relocation of a man by the Spirit of God’ (note: explanation of the word ‘relocation – nāśā`’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 5464).
The Water Wheel and the Shift to a Higher Place
As I was led to the word explanation, I had an open vision in which I saw a water wheel with its blades shoveling water from a flowing body of water with living fish upwards into a stagnant body of water that appeared to me like a large reservoir or sea.
The Hebrew word used for ‘relocation’ is a word that begins with the Hebrew letter ‘Nun’, which means ‘fish’.
Joshua, who led the people of Israel into the land of promise, was a son of ‘Nun’, which means that it is God's plan to lead us as His people into a higher spiritual realm. The wheels of God’s throne chariot play an important role in this. They help to bring us with our inner being in the form of spirit and soul to a higher place of the spirit.
This is related to the presence of God, where we see the face of God in the form of a bull, which includes the cherubic presence. This presence goes hand in hand with the righteousness of God, through which His judgment is passed to establish justice on earth.
It is clear from Ezekiel 1 and Ezekiel 10 that these are two different spiritual realms, since the four beings with their wheels are described in Ezekiel 1 as living beings that go along with the visitation of God in the midst of captivity.
This is the dimension of the ‘life of God’ because the wheels of the four living beings carry their spirit within them and the face of the bull is mentioned in the third place in link with the left side (cf. Ezekiel 1:10.19-21).
Ezekiel 1:10.19-21:
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. …
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
The presence of the wheels goes hand in hand with the fear of the LORD, as the wheels reveal a greatness of vision that caused the prophet Ezekiel to be in awe (cf. Ezekiel 1:18).
Ezekiel 1:18:
18 Their rims were high and awesome (note: dreadful), and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
We know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and thus leads us to a higher level of heaven, which is also connected to the depths of the Son of God (cf. Psalm 111:10a; Proverbs 9:10 i.c.w. Colossians 2:3).
Psalm 111:10a:
10a The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; …
Proverbs 9:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Colossians 2:3:
… 3 in whom (note: Christ) are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
In Ezekiel 10 the four creatures are predominantly called cherubim, whose wheels, wings and body were full of eyes, with the face of the cherub (note: bull) being mentioned in the first position. This vision of the cherubim goes along with the process of God's judgment over the city (cf. Ezekiel 10:1-2.9-14).
Ezekiel 10:1-2.9-14:
1 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli (note: sapphire) above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim.
2 The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in. …
9 I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.
10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels” (note: Hebr. ‘Galgal’).
14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Their movement was so powerful that in this heavenly realm they were called ‘Galgal’ by someone ‘who remained hidden’, which means ‘whirling wheels’. This word is also used in Ecclesiastes 12:6 for ‘a wheel at the well’.
The Rotating Movement of the Wheels and the Hand of God
Based on this, the wheels of the beings or cherubim create a whirling suction in the spirit through their rotating motion, so that the particular believer is led by the hand of God, which seizes the glory already established with the Holy Spirit in the respective believer. This believer is thus led with ‘clenched fist’, i.e. with great effect, into a higher dimension of the spirit, in order to see the things there that the Lord wants to reveal. (see Ezekiel 3:12a; Ezekiel 8:3a-b).
Ezekiel 3:12a:
12a Then the Spirit lifted me up, …

Ezekiel 3:12a:
12a Then the Spirit lifted me up, …
Ezekiel 8:3a-b:
3a-b He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven …
It is the hand of God in the form of a ‘clenched fist’, which is associated with a contraction and can change the levels of the heavens according to His plan (cf. Isaiah 11:15).
Isaiah 11:15:
15 The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand (note: fist) over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.
The deep dimensions of the heavens are connected with the hand of God, since He measures the waters with the hollow hand (cf. Isaiah 40:12a).
Isaiah 40:12a:
12a Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, …?
The structure of the kingdom, in that we move as God's people, with its different levels of the heavens is coupled to the element of water according to the Hebrew word ‘mamlākāh’, which is used for the term ‘kingdom’.
This Hebrew word begins twice with the Hebrew letter ‘Mem’, which among other things is connected with ‘water’ and carries the numerical value of ‘40’. The Hebrew word for ‘water’ used in the Word of God is ‘majim’ and is used exclusively in the plural form. It begins with the Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ and ends with it. (note: part excerpt from the Elberfelder Study Bible for the word ‘mamlākāh – kingdom’ with the word key number 4542)
The structure of the kingdom and its connection to water is also evident in the spiritual realm through the geographical location of the throne of God, which is connected with the presence of the crystal sea (cf. Revelation 4:6a).
Revelation 4:6a:
6a Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. …
The Wheels bringing Changes
When the Lord moves us to a new spiritual realm, we cannot neglect to be shaken by the Holy Spirit in our inner being, so that whatever is obstructing our spiritual vision is removed, so that we may remain near Him and see the revelatory truth in His light (cf. Matthew 3:12 i.c.w. Psalm 36:9; John 8:31-32).

Matthew 3:12 i.c.w. Psalm 36:9; John 8:31-32).
Matthew 3:12:
“… 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
John 8:31-32:
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
John 8:31-32:
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
It is the process of winnowing with a winnowing shovel, which in Hebrew (Hebr. ‘misräh’) is also a word that begins with the Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ and is closely related to the wind of the North (Hebr. ‘mĕsāräh’) where ‘the mountain of God – the city of the great king’ is located (cf. Psalm 48:2).
Psalm 48:2 (KJV):
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
(note: explanation of the words ‘misräh – winnowing fork’ and ‘mĕsāräh – north wind’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: *4288, *4289)
Among other things, it is the north wind that accompanies the awakening or rising (cf. Song of Songs 4:16).
Song of Songs 4:16a:
16a Awake, north wind, …
Since ‘Mem’, as already mentioned is connected with the element of ‘water’ and the north is in link with ‘the city of the great king’, I see a connection to the realm of the throne room of God, which has a crystal sea, as well as to His sovereign intervention to separate the chaff from the wheat.
This winnowing procedure goes hand in hand with the vertical movement of the winnowing shovel, in which we can also see a connection with the upward movement of the wheels of the living beings or the cherubim of the chariot of God’s throne (cf. Ezekiel 1:19).
Ezekiel 1:19:
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
Let us, then, as God's people, find a clear and inner agreement to every change and process of the movement of the Spirit, in order to be ready to let go of what we no longer need in that higher realm of a renewed perspective and fresh, living vision, so that we may reach the goal of our calling.
Amen and Amen.
In His Wisdom,
Daniel Glimm
