"The Angels and Celestial Beings of Heaven" Part 2

Genesis 3:24

And HE expelled the man; and at the east of the Garden of Eden HE had Cherubim dwell along, with the whirling sword of flame, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.

Exodus 25:17-19

You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. It shall be two and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide. And you shall make two Cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make the Cherubim at the two ends of the mercy seat, one Cherub at one end and the other Cherub at the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the Cherubim on its two ends.” 

Isaiah 6: 1- 6

In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw Adonai sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of HIS robe filled the Temple. Seraphim were standing above HIM. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. One called out to another, and said: “KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH Adonai-Tzva’ot! The whole earth is full of HIS glory.” Then the posts of the door trembled at the voice of those who called, and the House was filled with smoke. Then I said: “Oy (woe) to me! For I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I am dwelling among a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the Melek, Adonai-Tzva’ot!” Then one of the Seraphim flew to me, with a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with it and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips. Your iniquity is taken away, and your sins atoned for.”

Ezekiel 1:5-20

From within it came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had a likeness of a human, but each one had four faces and each one of them had four wings. Their legs were straight and the soles of their feet were like the hoof of a calf. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had faces and wings: their wings touched one another; they did not turn when they moved; each could move in the direction of any of its faces. As for the form of their faces, each had a human face, the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side and the four had the face of an eagle. Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings touching the wing of another, while another two were covering their bodies Now each being could move in the direction of any of its faces; wherever the Ruach would go, they went, without turning as they went. As for the form of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, resembling torches moving between the living creatures. There was brightness to the fire, and lightning went forth from the fire. The living creatures were running back and forth like flashes of lightning. As I looked at the living creatures, behold, one wheel was on the ground next to each of the four-faced creatures. The appearance and structure of the wheels was like the gleaming of beryl. The four had the same likeness, their appearance and their structure seemed to be a wheel within a wheel. When they went, they went in any of their four directions without pivoting as they went. Their rims were high and awesome—all four rims were full of eyes all around. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. Wherever the RUACH wanted to go, they went, in the direction the RUACH wanted to go. The wheels rose along with them, for the Spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

Ezekiel 28:12-15

“Son of man, lift up a lament for the king of Tyre. Say to him, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of YAHWEH. Every precious stone was your covering—ruby, topaz and diamond, beryl, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and emerald—your settings and your sockets a workmanship of gold in the day you were created they were prepared. You were an anointed guardian, Cherub. I placed you on the KADOSH mountain of YAHWEH. You walked among stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created until unrighteousness was found in you.

Revelations 4:6-8

Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were FOUR living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having six wings (not four), were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH,
ADONAI YAHWEH  Shaddai (most powerful),
Who was and is and is to come!”
