Cherubim are often associated with the presence and holiness of God, as seen in <a href="/genesis/3-24.htm">Genesis 3:24</a> and <a href="/exodus/25-18.htm">Exodus 25:18-22</a>, where they are depicted as guardians of sacred spaces. The palm trees symbolize victory, peace, and eternal life, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/23-40.htm">Leviticus 23:40</a> and <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>. The combination of these symbols on the doors of the outer sanctuary suggests a representation of divine protection and blessing. The carvings mirror those on the walls, indicating a consistent theme of holiness and divine presence throughout the temple structure.<p><b>and there was a wooden canopy outside</b><br>The wooden canopy, or vestibule, served as a transitional space between the outer court and the inner sanctuary. This architectural feature highlights the progression from the common to the sacred, emphasizing the sanctity of the inner areas. Wood was a common building material in ancient Near Eastern architecture, often used for its availability and ease of carving. The use of wood here may also symbolize humanity, as wood is a natural, earthly material, contrasting with the divine imagery of the cherubim and palm trees.<p><b>on the front of the portico</b><br>The portico, or porch, was a prominent feature in ancient temple architecture, serving as an entrance to the sacred space. It provided a place for worshippers to gather and prepare themselves before entering the more sacred areas of the temple. The presence of the canopy on the front of the portico underscores the importance of this transitional space, marking the boundary between the secular and the sacred. This architectural detail reflects the temple's role as a place of meeting between God and His people, a theme echoed in other biblical passages such as <a href="/psalms/84-10.htm">Psalm 84:10</a> and <a href="/1_kings/6-3.htm">1 Kings 6:3</a>.<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 a new temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/cherubim.htm">Cherubim</a></b><br>Angelic beings often associated with the presence 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 temple decorations.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/main_hall.htm">Main Hall</a></b><br>The central area of the temple, representing the place of worship and communion with God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/w/wooden_canopy.htm">Wooden Canopy</a></b><br>A structural element that may symbolize covering and protection, possibly representing God's sheltering presence.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_cherubim.htm">Symbolism of Cherubim</a></b><br>The presence of cherubim in the temple design underscores the holiness of God and the need for reverence in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/palm_trees_as_symbols_of_victory.htm">Palm Trees as Symbols of Victory</a></b><br>Palm trees remind believers of the victory and peace found in Christ, encouraging them to live victoriously.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_in_worship.htm">God's Presence in Worship</a></b><br>The detailed design of the temple highlights the importance of God's presence in worship, calling believers to seek His presence earnestly.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/continuity_of_god's_plan.htm">Continuity of God's Plan</a></b><br>The consistent use of symbols like cherubim and palm trees from the tabernacle to the temple and beyond shows God's unchanging nature and plan for His people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/protection_and_shelter.htm">Protection and Shelter</a></b><br>The wooden canopy symbolizes God's protection, encouraging believers to find refuge in Him amidst life's challenges.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_41.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 41</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_ezekiel_41_with_1_kings_6.htm">How can Ezekiel 41's instructions be reconciled with the different layout presented for Solomon's Temple in 1 Kings 6?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/do_angels_possess_wings.htm">Do angels possess wings?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_do_ezekiel's_cherubim_differ.htm">Why does Ezekiel 41:18-19 describe cherubim with faces that seem inconsistent with other biblical angel descriptions?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_nomads_craft_gold_cherubim.htm">Exodus 37:1-9: How could ancient desert nomads craft such detailed cherubim from pure gold with the tools and resources supposedly available?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/41.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(25) <span class= "bld">Thick planks.--</span>After stating that the doors just described were ornamented like the walls, the prophet speaks of something that was on the outer front of the porch.

Perhaps the best suggestion is that it may have been a moulding of wood.
