"And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear."
In the inaugural vision of Ezekiel we have the same voice as was in the vision of John, "And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings." Here the living creatures obey the voice from the midst of the four beasts, and it is indicated by letting down their wings. They stood as the Memorial about the throne stand, "Holy, holy, holy,LordGod Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come" is the affirmation of the Word or the Law of the Spirit.
The Spirit gives the voice of the Lord God who rides upon a cherub or the four living creatures as one. (Ps.18:10; Is.66:15)The 'likeness of the glory of Lord' is seen and and heard by Ezekiel what we covered in Re.4 we have the four beasts worshipping God in the beauty of holiness. " Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."(Ps.29:2). This expression of 'likeness' and 'like unto the Son of man or Son of God" is Word- based so it always points to the Word made flesh-Jesus Christ. ("one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven,-Dan.7:13; Dan 3:25) It is in this context God addresses the prophet, 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee."(Ez.2:1). Ezekiel is 'after our likeness' referring to the Word made flesh. For this reason the Spirit supplies us with the action. "Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel./So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll." (3:1-2) This foreshadows why in the fulness of time God sent Jesus Christ to the world. The Man component in the covenant is made clear. (Ge.1:28). It also explain the expression 'the only begotten Son.'
