What Does 2 Chronicles 3:10 Mean?
Inside the inner sanctuary Solomon sets two large cherubim, freestanding sculptures overlaid with gold. These join the cherubim woven into the veil and graved on the walls, surrounding the holiest place with images of God's heavenly attendants.
The cherubim are not idols but witnesses, figures that point beyond themselves to the living God enthroned among His people. They show that the unseen courts of heaven press close upon this room. Where God dwells, the worship of heaven and the worship of earth meet, and the seen and unseen creation bow together before Him.
