Summary
Details

"Who or what are cherubim and seraphim? I never gave much thought to the question until I was teaching through the book of Ezekiel. Despite ""scholars"" defining them as angels, upon further study, it became clear that cherubim and seraphim are anything but angels. This book takes a deep dive into the real nature of these creatures by using all the biblical texts that are applicable to them in both Old and New Testaments. In the pursuit of exegeting the related Scriptures concerning this class of being, I was forced to consider other classes of beings that surround the throne of God together with historical events and places that are linked with the cherubim and seraphim, thus the subtitle to the book: ""Heaven's Beasts and Other Assorted Beings, Events, and Places Associated with Them.""

This is why it was necessary to travel side paths that intersect with these creatures in question. Examples include cherubim and seraphim's role in the throne room of God, the Holy of Holies. Thus, I show their relation to the Ark of the Covenant, the mercy seat, and all creatures that attend God in this holy place.

I also speak to the present heaven whom many assume is only spiritual, and yet the Scriptures give us a much different picture. Traveling further down this path, I then address the ultimate kingdom of God the Scriptures call the new heavens and new earth, which is the final destination for all believers in Christ.

Upon discovering the real nature of the cherubim and seraphim, I also make the connection to what Ezekiel describes as the spirit of the living beings residing in their wheels and the spirit of earthly animals in which resides the ""breath of life,"" revealing where that animal's spirit goes at death. Yes, this means all animals with the breath of life, including your pets, have a life after death. Is there a ""doggie"" heaven? This book answers that question and much more while focusing on the life of the cherubim and seraphim and their role in the kingdom of God."
