Angels, and the cherub among them, have become a thing of worship in cults and pop culture today. We see them relegated to whispy floating ladies (or babies) with wings. Even in some quarters, they are pictured as bodybuilders with swords. 

The Bible gives us a totally different picture. Access the full article by clicking --> here <--

Excerpt:

"In the OT, cherubim guarded the way to the tree of life (Gen. 3:24). In the tabernacle and the temple, cherubim hovered over the mercy seat, symbolizing their guarding of God’s presence (Ex. 25:18–22; Num. 7:89; 1 Kings 6:23–28; 8:6, 7). Cherubim were also woven into the curtains of the tabernacle (Ex. 26:1; 36:8) and carved on the walls of the temple (1 Kings 6:29, 32, 35; cf. Ezek. 41:18, 20, 25). The OT speaks of Yahweh being enthroned on cherubim (1 Sam. 4:4; 2 Sam. 6:2; 2 Kings 19:15; 1 Chron. 13:6; Pss. 80:1; 99:1). In Ezekiel the cherubim play an important role as God’s presence leaves the temple because of Israel’s sin (Ezek. 10:1–22; 11:22). "
