Ezekiel
Ezekiel 10:5ESV·traditional attribution

And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

John Calvin Reformed

God marks His presence by signs that shake the world. The cherubim's wings roar like His voice thundering from heaven, a concussion so violent that nothing can match it. This terror was meant to fill the Prophet so he could bear witness to all people of the change God was working.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

What we glimpse here of the invisible world should strike terror into us. God sits enthroned above the cherubim in a sapphire brightness that no earthly throne can match; His infinite power and dominion dwells there, beholding all the children of men. The angels serve Him absolutely, and so must we.

Commenting on Ezekiel 10:1-7

John Gill Reformed Baptist

The Gospel sound travels everywhere, swift as cherubim's wings, reaching all flesh with news of grace and mercy. It is God's own thunder, the voice of Christ the Almighty, working with divine power: quickening the dead, opening blind eyes, softening hearts, turning sinners from darkness to light.
