The four wheels move with the Cherubim because the spirit of the Cherubim is in them. The late Second Book of Enoch (20:1, 21:1) also referred to them as the " many-eyed ones ". The First Book of Enoch (71.7) seems to imply that the Ophanim are equated to the " Thrones " in Christianity when it lists them all together, in order: "...round about ...
The description parallels the wheels that are beside the living creatures in Ezekiel 1:18; 10:12, which are said to be "full of eyes all around".

The second meaning implies that Jesus, speaking in the open air, pointed to some birds nearby while speaking these lines.
