Cherubim are the most mighty. They have a different body to man, and, they, like Christ, are supernaturally enhanced by atomic miniaturisation, 144,000 times more than man today. Their function is to give or withhold pleasures from men and angels, a function which Satan, who was the anointed cherub and has present power over the earth, now misuses to tempt to evil.

His wickedness, however, is limited by God, who has already punished him somewhat to deter him: Art thou not it that hath . . . wounded the dragon. (Isaiah 51:9) And there is worse to come for Satan, when: in that day the Lord with his sore great and strong sword shall punish Leviathon the piercing serpent . . . and shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Pleasures experienced today on earth are natural and not enhanced by cherubim as they were supposed to be. Nevertheless, by goodness and obedience and wisdom, peace and adequate pleasure may be obtained.

But in the future Satan will die, and his memorial will be a place of everlasting shame, covered with worms, and consumed by fire. In his stead will be four female cherubim, who also will be the future wives of Jesus. These cherubim will enhance pleasure for those in their kingdoms.

The cherubim are now as little girls, but during the last century of the millennium they will mature, and at the close of the millennium they will marry Jesus, and then for all eternity, Jesus’ four wives will bring him joy. They and Jesus, being dedicated to their duty, did not dream that the heavenly Father planned romance and a marriage for even them. Even now perhaps that believe not for joy.
