What Does Psalms 18:10 Mean?
Cherubim are God's heavenly servants; the wind is his agent of movement and power. 'Rode upon a cherub' shows God using the supernatural realm to move with impossible speed and authority. 'Flew upon the wings of the wind' doubles the image: speed beyond human comprehension.
For the ancient reader, this spoke to absolute divine sovereignty over all realms—heaven, earth, and the invisible. Enemies on land cannot touch a God who commands the very wind.
