Is the Ark of the Covenant symbolizing the cherubim guarding the Tree of Life?

2Ki 19:15
Then Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said: “O LORD God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

2Ch 5:8
For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

Eze 10:3
Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.

Eze 41:18
And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

two faces? good and evil?​

Eze 41:20
From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

If the temple is inside us, is it saying we have good and evil?​

If satan was a "covering cherub" in Ezekiel 28:16 of the OT, could lucifer have been a top cherub guarding the Tree of Life? Did both his faces turn evil?

Can the Tree of Life be guarded by hiding it with cherubim?
Are cherubim the reason a fallen condition can not see the Kingdom of God?

Exo 25:22
“And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

Num 7:89
Now when Moses went into the tabernacle of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice of One speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim; thus He spoke to him.

1Sa 4:4
So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

between the two cherubim ..where there isn't an illusion going on?​

1Ki 8:6
Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

Exo 26:31
“You shall make a veil woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen. It shall be woven with an artistic design of cherubim.

The veil has symbols of cherubim? hmmm​

Can satan deceive because he had the ability/free will as a cherub? Are there still good cherubim just doing their job, hiding the Tree of Life, without looking for worship?

Was the tempter a cherub? Do cherubim use death to hide life? Is it like a drug to them? Is death the Tree of Knowledge? Is this why they fell?

How many angels does it take to hide the Tree of Life? Are they not in a lake of fire right now because God is using them as a tool?

Ezekiel 28:16-17
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.​

Isaiah 14:12 (KJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
via crossnote

O Lucifer, son of the morning!​

Are these combined saying lucifer was a covering cherub and "son of the morning!" has something to do with stones of fire?

Does "covering" mean he is hiding something ..like the Truth?

Does each town have it's own hierarchy of fallen angels (cherubim) causing carnal man to be unaware of the spiritual?

12 Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.
13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
—Daniel 10:12-13, NIV

No one questions why cherubim were used as symbolism throughout the OT.

Cherubim are involved with finding God.

Jesus told us not to cling to this temporary physical life.
We are being tested to see if we can give it up and find God.


Matthew 6:22-23
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

//The eye is the perception of the mind. Do you see it God’s way?​


Proverbs 27:20
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.


Proverbs 16:2
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

//carnal perception​


Proverbs 21:2
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

//the spirit is connected to the mind and heart​

//Does your spirit run through your mind's eye perception to your heart?​


Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ..Money

Serving money is serving satan ..carnal​

To carry a cross is to become dead to temptations, ourselves, pride, and this fallen illusion world so that Christ can set us free to live away from Satan's perception. To have our spirit connect to God. The Way to everlasting life.


"So, when Jesus said that in order to follow Him we must carry a cross, He meant that something must die before we can live. We must die to ourselves, our rights, and our desire to be our own boss. We must die daily."

"we consider ourselves unable to respond to those temptations. A dead man has no personal agendas or rights. He is not tempted to sin because he is dead to everything around him. “You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world” (Colossians 2:20, NLT)."

What did Paul mean when he said, “I die daily” in 1 Corinthians 15:31? | GotQuestions.org


Our cross is our Lord’s cross. We were crucified with Him, therefore we consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God.

“…knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin,” Romans 6:6, 7.

via Jon David Banks​


Matthew 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


Colossians 3:12-13
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

cherubim hide the Tree of Life ..via the vail

2 Corinthians 3:15-16
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

satan hides The Way to the Tree of Life by blinding minds

2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
