Seraphim

The Angel of The Lord and His Heavenly Hosts

The Angel of The Lord and His Heavenly Hosts

We begin with the Cherubim and Seraphim angels, their ministry to God, and the Tabernacle of Moses. Cherubim first appeared at the Garden of Eden entrance and later in constructing the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant. Inferring a correlation to the Garden of Eden, Cherubim were woven into the inner veil that separated the holy of holies. Our Sages wrote that Cherub angels have a child-like appearance, hence their portrayal in Christian art as babies with wings. Ezekiel refers to them nineteen times, with many believing they are synonymous with the four living creatures described in Revelation. In his vision, he saw four Cherubim angels in the midst and around the throne of God, ministering to the Lord.
