The time of Ezekiel's prophecy at Chebar.4. His vision of four cherubim; 15. of the four wheels; 26. and of the glory of God. but each had four faces The phrase "but each had four faces" introduces us to the extraordinary vision of the cherubim that Ezekiel encounters. The Hebrew word for "faces" is "פָּנִים" (panim), which often signifies presence or countenance. In the context of Ezekiel's vision, the four faces symbolize the multifaceted nature of God's creation and His omniscience. Each face represents a different aspect of creation: the lion (wild animals), the ox (domestic animals), the eagle (birds), and the man (humanity). This imagery underscores the completeness and universality of God's dominion over all creation. Historically, the number four is significant in biblical literature, often representing completeness or universality, as seen in the four corners of the earth or the four winds. The cherubim, with their four faces, serve as a reminder of God's all-encompassing power and presence. and four wings Four wings.--In Revelation 4:8, six wings are mentioned, as also with the seraphim of Isaiah 6:2. The cherubim in Solomon's Temple had two (1Kings 6:27). In Ezekiel 10:21, as here, they have four. The number is plainly not important, though doubtless assigned to them with reference to the number of creatures, and of their faces, and of the wheels; but that they should have more than the normal number of two is here appropriate, partly to concur with the other indications of the fulness of their life and activity, and partly because (Ezekiel 1:11) two of them were used to express their reverence, as were four of those of the seraphim in Isaiah. . . . Verse 6. - We note the points of contrast with other like visions.(1) In Isaiah 6:2 each seraph has six wings, as each "living creature" has in Revelation 4:8. (2) In Revelation 4:7 the four heads are distributed, one to each of the "living creatures," while here each has four faces, and forms, as it were, a Janus quadrifrons.
