Cherubim

These curtains were to be made with cherubim of cunning work. The cherubim, as we have seen, speak of judgment. Here again, that which belongs to Christ is brought before us, for “The Father... hath committed all judgment unto the Son” (John 5:22). When “all nations” shall be gathered together before “the throne of His glory,” it is Christ who from that throne shall say, “Come, ye blessed of My Father,” and “Depart from Me, ye cursed” (Matt. 25). And when “the great white throne” is set, and the wicked dead are assembled there, Christ will be the Judge. Condemnation awaits all who will stand before that throne, for the sentence is “according to their works,” and according to this judgment none can stand, for “all have sinned.” Those who have taken shelter under the blood of the Lamb, will there be seated with Him on His throne. Judgment from God has fallen upon Him who took their place and suffered for their sins, and now they are exempt from the unending sorrow that must come upon those who “will not have this man to reign over” them. (Rev. 20; Luke 19:14.)
