To: Hebrews 11:6

I enjoyed the images of the cherubim in the Holy of Holies.

59 has 6 wings - that’s a seraphim, as described in Isaiah 6.

But it gives you a good perspective on the size of the Holy of Holies - at a minimum, it was a 30-foot cube (18” cubit, 20 cubits on a side). It may have been a 40-foot cube with the 25” cubit. The cherubim in this picture tower over the high priest.

60 has the cherubim with 4 wings, but lacking the 4 faces.

62 has them pretty much as I imagine them from Ezekiel 1.

The Temple is to picture back the Garden of Eden and God’s original plan to dwell with man.

Cherubim are described in Ezekiel 1. Quite formidable.

So glad I was finally able, in context, to present the Ezekiel critters you requested, Jeff. I KNEW you’s take notice! Of course, if I could have figured out a way of omitting them, just to annoy you....i still have a while before reaching Ezekiel, though, but that will take some doing. I probably just need your IP address, and then I can post a doctored thread just to you. Stocking up now on midnight oil.
