CHERUBIM are the second highest order.

The Bible depicts Cherubim as powerful and majestic angelic creatures who surround God’s throne (see Ezekiel l :5 – l 4; 28: l 2).

They are also depicted on the Ark of the Covenant as its Guardians.

God sent them to guard Eden after the expulsion of Adam and Eve:

After He drove the man out, He placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis :24).
