4 are not brutes like those in ch. 13, but are altogether different. There are four cherubim in Ezekiel, indicating their relationship to the world. Man as the highest of God's created beings, the calf as symbolic of domestic animal life, the lion as the representation of untamed animals, and the flying eagle as a picture of the fowls of the heavens demonstrate the purposes of God in created life. These cherubim are God's agents in the implementation of the decrees of God in His creation.
Numerous eyes indicate spiritual perception, insight, and knowledge.
Thus, the heavenly scene depicts the angelic messengers and the redeemed, resurrected human beings all worshipping, honoring, and extolling the eternal God. And the first beast was like a lion , and the second beast like a calf , and the third beast had a face as a man , and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle . I believe the beast represent different things in how Christ affects our lives. The lion would make me think of the power and raw strength given to the church. The calf would seem like to me to represent of the sacrifice that was made by the people of God before his son.
