Profile

Origin

The cherubim, also known as the living creatures, are celestial beings mentioned in the Bible. After Adam and Eve are banished from Eden, God places cherubim at the east side of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24). Cherubim are also mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel, which describes their appearance in Chapter 1 and Chapter 10. Chapter 28 mentions a cherub that was in the Garden of Eden.

According to Pseudo-Dionysius's On the Celestial Hierarchy, cherubim are the second highest rank of angels; this celestial hierarchy is accepted by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Trivia

  • In Shin Megami Tensei II, Ophanim's depiction closely resembles a Cherub as described in the Book of Ezekiel (having the heads of a human, a lion, an ox, and an eagle), suggesting that Ophanim may have been a misnomer and that the demon was actually intended to be a Cherub.
  • Leftover data and art assets for Cherub exist within Shin Megami Tensei: Nine's code.[1]
