The Mystery of the Cherubim: Guardians of Divine Glory By Damiano B. Centola

Cherubim are not the soft, winged figures imagined in modern art.
In Scripture, they are beings of overwhelming majesty, positioned closest to the presence of God.

When God revealed His throne, the cherubim were there.
When He placed a boundary at Eden after the fall, the cherubim stood guard.
When the mercy seat was crafted for the Holy of Holies, He commanded that two cherubim overshadow it with their wings.

They are not symbols of sentiment — they are symbols of holiness.

Their posture is always the same:

Wings outstretched.
Heads bowed.
Eyes fixed on the glory of the Lord.

Their wings cover — signifying protection.
Their gaze beholds — signifying worship.
Their position blocks the unholy — signifying separation.

The cherubim teach us something vital:

The glory of God is not casual.
It is not common.
It is weighty, radiant, overwhelming, and beautiful.

To draw near requires awe, purity, and humility.
Just like the priests of old, we must approach with clean hands and a reverent heart.

The cherubim guard what is sacred
until the heart is ready to enter.
