Doctrine and Covenants D&C 77:4
"Q. What are we to understand by the eyes and wings, which the beasts had? A. Their eyes are a representation of light and knowledge, that is, they are full of knowledge; and their wings are a representation of power, to move, to act, etc."
New Testament Revelation 4:8
"And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within"

The vision counts the wings and locates the eyes; the section counts nothing and assigns each feature a meaning. The words the two share are the nouns and one adjectival phrase, and the section reuses 'full of' for a different object - the vision has them full of eyes, the section full of knowledge.
