Cherubim enjoy the second place around central operations and they descend from the terrible monster guardians of Babylonian and Sumerian temples called Ka-ri-bu.
They:
A. Disguised their magnificent and awesome selves inside sweet, tiny, rosy-cheeked winged babies under mysterious circumstances and got away with it
B. Started out as monsters but fell into some Disney dust—it goes way back—and turned into cute cherubs
C. Were big and horrible monsters until they looked around and said—God, this is way too trendy so they decided to surprise everyone in newer cuter duds.
Some food for thought:
A. The Old Testament never mentions fallen angels and features no evil Satan, Ha-Satan—the Adversary—comes up but this seems more an office than a particular angel and not a wicked one at that. The office-holder is beloved by God and nothing like the New Testament Satan.
B. The Iranian angel Vohu Manah (Good Mind) revealed God’s message to Zoroaster 2,500 years ago and the Archangel Gabriel dictated the Quar’an to Mohammed over a millennium later.
C. It is reasonable to assume that everything you wanted to know about angels would be found in the Christian Bible but surprisingly this is the last place to find such data—they are hardly mentioned.
