When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The living creatures' wings 'like the sound of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty' - direct source of 'the voice of many waters' AND its conjunction with 'the Almighty' (pantokrator) in Rev 19:6. Verbal volume + Ezekiel throne-vision context very strong.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Ezek 1:24 supplies the same 'voice/noise of many waters' simile, here joined to 'the voice of the Almighty,' reinforcing the theophanic register. Slightly less close in wording than Ezek 43:2, so medium and arguably the secondary Ezekiel source.
