Answer # 1
The four faced winged creatures (there were four creatures, each with four faces) is mentioned in Ezekiel Chapter 1. Ezekiel is describing what he see's before hearing the voice of God instructing him to speak to the rebellious house of Isreal. The 'meaning' of the creatures is not explained though there are similarities to references of the faces being 'like an ox, like a lion, like and eagle, like a man' in Daniel and Revelations - both of which refer to nations being represented by these animals.
Answer # 2
Ezekiel later identifies the four living creatures he saw as cherubim, a type of angel:
I saw there the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain. The cherubim were stationed to the right of the temple; these were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar, whom I now recognized to be cherubim. Ez 10:4, 10 NAB
