How do we know that cherubim represent God in Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Cherubim, as revealed in Scripture, are often depicted as the guardians of God's holiness and the coming of God to His people.

The cherubim are detailed throughout the Bible, particularly in the books of Ezekiel and Revelation. In Ezekiel 10:20, the prophet explicitly identifies these living creatures as cherubim. They are marked by their proximity to God, being found 'in the midst of the throne' and 'round about the throne' in Revelation 4:6. Their characteristics, such as being full of eyes and involved in ceaseless worship, highlight their role as God’s chosen instruments to reveal His holiness and majesty. Furthermore, the cherubim's involvement in the mercy seat (Exodus 25:20-22) establishes them as vital mediators of God's presence, signifying His covenantal engagement with His creation.
