得窺天境

得窺天境,須看透紅塵萬丈;人神相通,隻憑借靈犀一縷。信靠耶穌,此外路路是絕望;堅定不移,萬裏迢迢聚天堂。

Figure 1.D Winged Protector

A cherub (Hebrew plural cherubim) was not a cherry-cheeked child, such as we might imagine Cupid with his bow and arrow. In the ancient Middle East a cherub was a man-headed lion or bull with eagles' wings that stood guard outside Mesopotamian temples. The term cherub appears to derive from the Akkadian word kuribu that was attached to such protector figures.

Layard (1850), page 76.
