Ezekiel 10 describes a vision that the prophet had from the throne of God and the cherubim, which are angelic beings. During the vision, Ezekiel observes the presence of a being similar to a man who performs God's command. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Ezekiel 10:
Isaiah 6:1-2: "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a tall and exalted throne, and the flap of his dress filled the temple. Above him were seraphim; each of them had six wings: With two covered the face, with two covered their feet and with two flew. " This verse describes another view of a prophet of God's presence in the temple, surrounded by angelic beings.
Revelation 4:6-8: "In the center, around the throne, there were four living beings, covered with eyes, both inside and outside. The first living being was similar to a lion, the second looked a bull, the third He had a face as a man, the room looked like an eagle flying. Each of the four living beings had six wings and was covered with eyes, both inside and outside. DAY AND NIGHT they never stopped saying, 'Holy, Holy It is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was, who is and who will come. '" This verse presents a vision similar to that of Ezekiel, with angelic beings surrounding the throne of God.
Psalm 99:1-2: "The Lord reigns! The peoples are treated! He is enthroned over the cherubim; shake the earth!" This psalm describes the presence of God enthroned over the cherubim, as seen in Ezekiel's view.
1 Kings 6:23-28: "Within the saint of saints, Solomon made two olive wood cherubim, each four and a half meters height. One wing of each cherub was two meters and twenty-five centimeters long, And the other wing, two meters and twenty -five centimeters, so that their wingspan was four and a half meters. The cherubim were placed in front of each other, so that the wings touched in the center of the room. The cherubs' wings were so large that they stretched throughout the width of the room; one of the wings touched one wall and the other wall, and the other two wings touched in the middle of the room. Solomon covered the gold cherubim. " This verse describes the construction of cherubim in the temple of Solomon, similar to those Ezekiel saw in his vision.
Hebrews 1:14: "Are not all ministering spirits, sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" This verse refers to angels, which are seen as servants of God sent to help believers on earth. This relates to Ezekiel 10, since the vision the prophet had in the chapter included the presence of heavenly beings, possibly angels, who performed the divine orders.
