John Calvin Commentary Ezekiel 10:5

"And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh." — Ezekiel 10:5 (ASV)

In this verse, the Prophet also confirms the vision, because God always gave signs of his presence. But it also seems to have another object, since the cherubim, by the sound of their wings, point out a remarkable change, both unusual and incomprehensible. For he says, there was a noise which shook the place, just as if God was speaking. Therefore, when we hear God’s voice, the Prophet means to say, it is just as if God thundered from heaven and made the whole world tremble; for no concussion can be more severe than that sound of the cherubim’s wings. From this, a certain wonderful change must be perceptible, since God so filled his Prophet with terror that he would be a messenger and witness of it to all others.

Prayer:

Grant, Almighty God, since you now place before our eyes proofs of your anger, that we may not perversely provoke your wrath, like your ancient people; but rather, may we so profit by this teaching as to grow wise in time, and strive to be reconciled to you, and to cast away all our depraved desires, until finally we will be gathered into that blessed rest which your only-begotten Son has procured for us by his blood. — Amen.
