“When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.”
Wheels moved where creatures faced, binding wheels' motion to creatures' orientation, ensuring chariot-throne coordination between animate and inanimate components. Choreography establishes hierarchy in which living creatures possess initiative and consciousness while precious wheels remain responsive. Forward unwavering motion suggests exiles that divine judgment moving toward Jerusalem cannot be altered by desperate prayer or ritual. This coordinated movement may suggest even impersonal mechanisms of history serve divine-appointed purposes.
