This text became an important starting point in the Jewish mysticism (later Kabbalah). In this vision there were four divine beings and later in Christianity their faces were used as the symbols of the four gospels.
Quote:... As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces...
Maybe these faces could also correspond to the four elements. Man - earth, eagle - air, lion - fire, ox - water.
Yes they correspond to the fixed Zodiacal signs (as Aion mentioned) which then correspond to the elements.
Man = Aquarius = Air
Eagle = Scorpio = Water
Bull = Taurus = Earth
Lion = Leo = Fire
The Eagle is attributed to Water. Scorpio has a few symbols: the scorpion, the serpent, and the eagle.
