Exodus 37:9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
(Extensions of each end of the top of the atonement cover which would represent God's throne here on earth and one piece with that cover, the cherubim knelt in reverence facing each other with their wings pointing toward heaven in worship and heads bowed with their eyes cast downward
looking down on the atonement cover. The message for us today is that the Lord carefully guards the atonement that He has provided for us. The angelic beings bow before the majesty of the Lord, before His throne, and before the holy beauty of His atonement for man. Their wings express the praise that heaven and all created creatures give for God's merciful provision, and their gaze represents what God sees when He looks at our failure to fulfill His covenant with us through our inability to achieve God's perfect holiness and to keep His Law, the Ten Commandments.)
