The ark was a container which symbolically speaks of the heart, Psalm 119:11 states: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” Instead of guarding the Word of God, this Cherub called the king of Tyrus, twisted, polluted, corrupted and attempted to destroy mankind by his everlasting desire to rid the earth of the Word. The next function of the Cherub is the worship of Abba Father continually without ceasing. When we worship the Lord GOD, our adversary flees because worship is initiated at the throne of God where the living Word lives and this fallen one is prohibited to enter.

This fallen Cherub was also successful in perverting a large host of other angelic beings and they too, became morally corrupt themselves. The ultimate goal of this disgraced Cherub’s scheming was to gain unlawful access to the throne of God, to sit above God and to be worshipped as God.

This angelic being was lavishly created with precious stones and the ability to emanate melodious praise unto the LORD God that could be heard throughout the kingdom of heaven. This
