“Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. stretched: or, divided above”
Ezekiel 1:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 1:11
Wings 'stretched upward' toward God demonstrate perpetual worship and readiness for divine commands. Two wings touching another cherub shows interconnectedness of worship—God's servants minister in community, not isolation. Two wings covering their bodies (cf. Isa. 6:2) represents humility and reverence before God's holiness. Even sinless beings cover themselves, acknowledging the gulf between creature and Creator. This models proper worship: community, reverence, and readiness.
