	Cherubim
		According to Ezechiel, xli, 18 sqq., in his visionary description of the Temple, the wall-space of the Sanctuary was ornamented with cherubim and palm-trees, and each cherub had two faces, that of a man and that of a lion, the faces respectively turned to the palm tree to the right and left.
		Ezechiel's vision of the Cherubim, which is practically the same in the tenth chapter as in the first, is one of the most difficult in Scripture, and has given rise to a multitude of explanations.
		And over the heads of the cherubim, so that they touched it with the points of their outstretched wings, was an expanse of crystal, and on this crystal a sapphire throne, and on the throne one resembling a man, the likeness of the glory of Jehovah.

	What Are Cherubim
		One is of Cherubim being the presence and terror of God as He is a consuming fire (Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 10:2), the warrior and Judge of all the earth.
		The faces of these Cherubim were to be turned one toward another, illustrating their communion or unity as one (the faces all symbolize some attribute of Christ), and their faces are towards the mercy seat, illustrating His favor upon man. God promised to meet with His people there.
		The Cherubim are symbolic imagery of the Glory of God Himself, and are intimately related to man. God is said to ride upon the Cherubim, because it is His vehicle, the symbolic figure of His strength of battle, as it appears a chariot and horses of fire.

		The cherubim represent the spirit, or will, in the wheels: at the direction of the spirit, the wheels are lifted up from the bottom and the chariot moves upward (Ezekiel 1:19 f.; Ezekiel 10:16 f.).
		Like the cherubim, the seraphim are the attendants on God as He is seated upon a throne high and exalted; they are also winged creatures: with twain they cover their faces, and with twain they cover their feet, and with twain they fly.
		There were also images of the cherubim carved on the gold-plated cedar planks which constituted the inner walls of the temple, and upon the olive-wood doors (1 Kings 6:29, 1 Kings 6:35; 2 Chronicles 3:7); also on the bases of the portable lavers, interchanging with lions and oxen (1 Kings 7:29-36).

	Cherubim and Dominion Feats
		Cherubim are wary of strangers except angels known to serve the same cause as they do, and they despise oathbreakers and those who shirk their accepted duties.
		Cherubim are sometimes depicted as plump, winged children, but they insist that such images are either a mistake on the part of the artist or the result of a deliberate deception by fiends intent on embarrassing them.
		Cherubim's dedication to duty gains them the respect of elves, though their staid nature is contrary to the more free-willed elven or halfling personality.

	Cherubim
		Cherubim are spiritual beings mentioned frequently in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament.
		Thus today's Biblical scholars have suggested that cherubim are "similar to the statues of winged, human-headed bulls or lions that stood guard at the entrances to palaces and temples in ancient Mesopotamia." (from the NIV Study Bible, the commentary on Genesis 3:24).
		For example, Ezekiel's cherubim have four faces and four wings, and have eyes all over their bodies (Ezekiel 10:12); whereas the ones in the temple have one face (II Chronicles 3:13) and two wings (II Chronicles 3:11) and nothing about their eyes.

		There were also cherubim woven into the texture of the inner curtain of the Tabernacle and the veil (Exodus 26:1,31; 36:8,35).

		"In their function as guardians of Paradise the cherubim bear an analogy to the winged bulls and lions of Babylonia and Assyria, colossal figures with human faces standing guard at the entrance of temples (and palaces), just as in Egypt the approaches to the sanctuaries are guarded by sphinxes." - ISBE 3.
		The 'face' and 'feet' imply a human form; something of a serpentine form (perhaps a basilisk's head, as in the temples of Thebes) may have been mixed with it: so the cherub was compounded of various animal forms.

	CHERUBIM over the ARK: Imaginations
		When some people are exposed to a little knowledge, their cherubim (imaginations, as the word denotes) delude them into thinking that the Bible is no longer of use, that since it is the letter that killeth, it has no place in their "deep spiritual" minds.
		This is also the same spirit and desire with the cherubim that stand over the mercyseat of the ark. They are in the image of God, but not as fallen men and covered with dust; but they are conformed men and made of pure Gold.
		It speaks chiefly of the flesh and the soul wherein the cherubim are cunningly woven.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cherubim
		The frequent sentence also: "who sittest upon the Cherubim" (1 Samuel 4:4; 2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Kings 19; Isaiah 37:37, 16; Psalms 79:2 and 98:1), though no doubt referring to Jehovah's actual dwelling in the Holy of Holies, yet is better understood as referring to the heavenly throne-bearers of God.
		(written about A.D. 500), the ninefold division of the angelic order has been practically universal; and the cherubim and seraphim take the highest place in the hierarchy, a rank which was ascribed to them already by St. Cyril of Jerusalem (370) and by St.

		Later, though, (by the 3rd century BCE) only the male Cherubim were associated with Yahweh; the female Cherubim were re-conceived as personifications of the Community of Israel.

		The curtains and veil speak of the physical makeup of man (his body of flesh) and his soul (mind, will, intellect, and emotions.) The cherubim are sown into the very fabric of man: in the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
		Like the cherubim of the veil, we see them revealing the glory of God in a measure; but in the Holy of holies it is on a higher plane.
		The overshadowing wings of the cherubim unfurled for a moment, and he gazed upon the One who would be slain for the sins of the whole world, and then sit upon God's throne of glory.
