The Inner Temple
And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; Eze 41:18
it was made... These cherubim with two faces and palm trees between were carved on wood or sculptured on the walls throughout the temple from the floor to above the doors (Eze. 41:18-20).
Not only were all the measurements to be accurate, but the beauty of it all was not overlooked either. The cherubims and palm trees were for decorations. The wainscoting was decorated with beautiful carvings.
Figures of angels with palms between them (possibly to depict life and fruitfulness of God’s servants), were on the walls of the temple proper and on the doors (verse 25). Each cherub (unlike that of chapter 1:10), which had 4 faces of a man a lion an Eagle and an ox, possibly to represent the humanity and kingship of Messiah.
Carved cherubim and palm trees were etched into the wood that covered the interior of the temple building. The carved cherubim represent the guardians of God’s dwelling place (cf. Eze. 1:4-28; 10:1-22).
