Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
In Genesis 1:8, “And God called the firmament heaven.” He separated the waters on the earth from those above the earth so that we could have a breathing space to live. He called the firmament heaven. When you come to the description in Ezekiel 1 of the throne chariot, four cherubim formed a chariot and were transporting the glory of the Lord to the earth to meet Ezekiel. When he talks about the likeness of the firmament, there is a connection because the throne chariot and four cherubim come out of what the Lord called heaven. It was a preincarnate appearance of Jesus Christ which is the glory of the Lord who appeared to Ezekiel in the last part of Ezekiel 1. The living creatures are part of this habitation, the firmament/heavens.
