The cherubim no are angels

Revelation 7:11 says:

"And all the angels were standing around [...] the four living creatures"

Notice how the cherubim are not included in the creation angelica

because it shows a gap between angel and cherub.


Revelation 5:11 says:

"And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures"

Again they were not mentioned as angels of high rank,

but as separate creations.


To find out why we call living creatures cherubim Ezekiel 10:15 says:

"And the cherubim were lifted living creature

I had seen on the river Chebar "

Also Revelation 4:9,10 says:

"And whenever the living creatures offer glory [...]

the 24 elders fall before the one who sits on the throne and worship "

We note that the cherubim chair or take the initiative and the 24 elders the seconded

this indicates that the cherubim are a very old creation, by heading into the

worship to the elderly.


Different thing with Satan in 1 Timothy 3:6 says:

"Not a man fearing recent convert to swell

and fall into the judgment passed upon the Devil "

We note that Satan is compared to someone recently,

it would be meaningless to compare veteran with someone recently become


So why Satan is compared with a cherub in Ezekiel 28:14

"Thou art the anointed cherub that covers"

The Septuagint supports another translation for this verse

"I placed the cherubim"

"It happened that you were the anointed cherub that covers"

So Satan is a cherub, it is a young creation.

Only Jehovah has control over the cherubim.

2 Samuel 6:2

"Jehovah of armies sitting on the cherubim"

2 Kings 19:15

"Oh Lord God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim"

Psalm 99:1

"Lord [...] seated on the cherubim".

We note that only God has control over this creation.


An important function was entrusted to the cherubim is ...


1 Kings 8:7

"The cherubim covered in a protective [...] the Ark"


In conclusion the cherubim no are angels.
