Cherub -- a cute little chubby angel like the ones in fine old oil paintings and scarf collars? Wrong! Are cherubim reincarnate human babies? No! What are they then? They are fiercely powerful beings that guard the glory of God and protect us from danger. When we study the Bible, we must redo our idea of what cherubs look like.
When God turned Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eve, he placed cherubim to guard the gate. (Genesis 3:24) These protectors were not the popular wide-eyed rosy-cheeked soft creatures of mythology.
In the scripture we encounter our Lord, who has infinite supernatural power surrounded by warrior cherubs guarding His glory.
