Commentators agree that Ezekiel's statement identifies the cherubim here with the 'living creature' from his first vision in chapter 1. John Calvin explains that God repeats the vision to confirm His message and overcome doubt. This repetition adds authority and makes the prophetic teaching clearer and more impactful for God's people.
