In the context of the temple, they symbolize divine protection and the holiness of the space. The presence of cherubim in the temple's design echoes their role in the Garden of Eden, where they guarded the way to the Tree of Life (<a href="/genesis/3-24.htm">Genesis 3:24</a>). Palm trees, on the other hand, are symbols of victory, peace, and eternal life. Their inclusion in the temple's design may reflect the prosperity and peace that come from God's presence. The combination of cherubim and palm trees suggests a sanctuary that is both protected by divine beings and flourishing with life.<p><b>from the floor to the space above the entrance</b><br>The detailed carvings from the floor to the space above the entrance indicate the comprehensive nature of the temple's decoration, emphasizing the sacredness of the entire structure. This vertical span of decoration signifies that every part of the temple, from the foundation to the highest point, is dedicated to God's glory. The thoroughness of the design reflects the meticulous care and reverence required in worship and the construction of a place where God dwells. This attention to detail can be seen as a call to believers to dedicate every aspect of their lives to God, from the most mundane to the most exalted.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel receives visions from God, including the detailed vision of the new temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/cherubim.htm">Cherubim</a></b><br>Angelic beings often associated with the presence and glory of God, symbolizing divine protection and holiness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/palm_trees.htm">Palm Trees</a></b><br>Symbolic of victory, peace, and eternal life, often used in the Bible to represent prosperity and blessing.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_main_hall.htm">The Main Hall</a></b><br>Part of the visionary temple described by Ezekiel, representing the place of worship and the presence of God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_vision_of_the_temple.htm">The Vision of the Temple</a></b><br>A prophetic vision given to Ezekiel, symbolizing God's future restoration and the establishment of His presence among His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_divine_presence.htm">Symbolism of Divine Presence</a></b><br>The cherubim represent God's holiness and His protective presence.
