then why did God design a temple with images of cherubim all over it?
did Satan deceive even God, too?
even the vision of Ezekiel:
did Satan deceive even God, too?
even the vision of Ezekiel:
And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with wood from the ground to the windows—the windows were covered — from the space above the door, even to the inner room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure.
And it was made with cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces, so that the face of a man was toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward a palm tree on the other side; thus it was made throughout the temple all around. From the floor to the space above the door, and on the wall of the sanctuary, cherubim and palm trees were carved.
The doorposts of the temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; their appearance was similar. The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood; and he said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”
The temple and the sanctuary had two doors. The doors had two panels apiece, two folding panels: two panels for one door and two panels for the other door. Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the temple just as they were carved on the walls. A wooden canopy was on the front of the vestibule outside. There were beveled window frames and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the vestibule — also on the side chambers of the temple and on the canopies.
(Ezekiel 41:16-26)
for bonus points why is it that the plan revealed to David by the Spirit and built by Solomon for the 1st temple, was covered in cherubim, palm trees & open flowers -- but in Ezekiel's vision there are not open flowers?
