How can someone be thrown from Heaven multiple times? And have a body and name change after the first time? How could Lucifer go from being beautiful, the choir director, to Satan a dragon-like demonic entity? Even a simpler question like ‘Where is God?’ Now this is a very simple question that we can’t answer. Sure we can say ‘In Heaven’, but that then only opens up the question of, ‘Where is Heaven?’ Doesn’t that bother you that you don’t have an answer? What the sun? I mean it came first right? But doesn’t scripture blatantly contradict that? Doesn’t any of this bother anyone else or are we just searching too deep?
Our world is ruled by two sets of beliefs: a belief based on faith in God or a belief based on faith in science. These two belief systems rule our world. So, as Christians, what happens if science and the Bible contradict? Should Christians believe science over the Bible? Does the science ever contradict the Bible anyway?

According to science, humans evolved from primates. In other words, apes. How does this match up with the Bible?
The Bible
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:26-27
According to the Genesis account, the Theory of Evolution is a direct contradiction to the Bible. So, if science got this wrong, is it possible they got other things wrong as well?
Cain has become the center of many conspiracy theories of the Bible. The biggest probably being his origin. Where did Cain come from? Now, this may seem like an easy question to many people, but many believe that Cain’s origins may have been a bit more interesting than just Adam and Eve. Many believe that Cain is the offspring of the Serpent and Eve. But is that true? Is Cain the son of the Serpent? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he investigates these claims of the Biblical origins of Cain in his video, Who Is Cain?

The Genesis Account of the Origins of Cain
1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.”
Genesis 4:1
John’s Possible Account of the Origins of Cain
12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous.
1 John 3:12
Jesus’ Possible Account of the Descendants of Cain
39 They answered Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are doing the works your father did.” They said to Him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
John 8:39-47
Conclusion
Cain is not the physical son of the Serpent, the Devil, but the Spiritual son of the Devil. Just like we are not the physical children of God or Abraham, but we are Spiritual children of God and the Spiritual children of Abraham. Those who sin, are children of the Devil, but those who walk in the ways of righteousness are the children of God.
Within the Bible, there are accounts of several different types of supernatural, spiritual beings, such as the Cherub, the Seraph, the Serpent, etc. Ezekiel goes into detail describing the beings he called a Cherub. So far, we’ve gone into detail explaining the meanings behind the Cherubim’s faces of a man, eagle, and ox, as well as their straight legs and calf-like soles of their bronze feet. But what does the Cherubim’s face of a lion mean? What do lions represent in the Bible? What are the Cherubim’s four wings for? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the answers in our fourth part, The Face of a Lion and Their Four Wings, of our miniseries What are the Cherubim?
8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 1:8-10
The Cherubim’s Face of a Lion
The Cherubim had the face of a lion because lion’s represent authority. Jesus told Peter that the Devil demanded to have him. Unless the Devil had some form of authority, he couldn’t demand to have Peter and then Peter given over to him to the point where Jesus says I prayed for you.
31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.
Luke 22:31-32
After this Peter then describes Satan as a prowling lion seeking someone to devour because lions represent authority, just like the Cherubim’s face.
8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9
Satan is portrayed as a roaring lion when he is demanding someone. Lions represent authority because they are a symbol of authority. This is the same idea with the Cherubim. The Cherubim have the face of a lion because they have authority.
The Cherubim’s Wings
11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.
Ezekiel 1:11
The Cherubim cover their bodies with two of their wings because they are like burning coals and torches with the glory of God. Two of their wings hold up the throne of God in glory and praise, this is why God rides on the wings of a cherub in the Psalms.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
Psalms 80:1
2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts who sits enthroned on the cherubim.
As we discussed in our two previous videos, the Cherubim are terrifying creatures with four faces and four wings. They have the face of a man, eagle, ox, and lion. They also have the likeness of man due to their connection with man. Not only do they have the likeness and face of man, but the Cherubim also have human hands. Their feet are like burnished bronze. But what does that mean? Why do the Cherubim have human hands and bronze feet? What does bronze represent in the Bible? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to explain the Cherubim’s hands and feet in part three of our What Are the Cherubim? series.
Romans 10:13-15 Ezekiel 1:7 Ezekiel 43:6-7a Deuteronomy 11:24 Isaiah 27:9-10 John 15:1-6 Matthew 13:24-30; 36-40 Revelation 2:18 Ephesians 6:15 Numbers 21:4-9 John 3:14-15 John 3:16 Leviticus 1 Matthew 10:13-15 Acts 3:6-7 Ezekiel 1:8 Ezekiel 37:1 Acts 8:39-40 Ezekiel 1:1-3 Acts 8:17-19 1 Timothy 5:22 1 Timothy 4:14 2 Timothy 1:5-7 Luke 22:43-44 Philippians 2:4-8 Hebrews 1:14 Isaiah 6:6-7
What Are The Cherubim? Pt. 3 Summary
The Cherubim’s Hands and Feet
7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:
Ezekiel 1:7-8
The Cherubim’s Legs
The Cherubim’s legs were straight, so that no one direction dominated. This is important because they had to be able to move in all for directions without turning.
9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went.
Ezekiel 1:9
If the Cherubim’s legs had knees that bent as we do, they wouldn’t be able to go in all four directions without turning. They would then also have one dominant side, and therefore all four sides could not be equal. This is important because each side of the Cherubim makes up an important piece of who they are. No one side is more important or dominant than the other, or when they went forward with the less dominant side, they would be at a disadvantage. This is why the Cherubim’s legs go straight forward; they need to go in any of the four directions without turning.
The Cherubim’s Bronze Feet
The Cherubim’s feet shone like burnished bronze because bronze is symbolic of the common man receiving healing, Salvation, redemption, etc. It wasn’t like gold, just for specific people, it was for everyone.
Examples of Bronze in the Bible
The Bronze Fiery Serpent in the Wilderness
4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. 5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.” 6 Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. 7 And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
Numbers 21:4-9
The Bronze Altar in the Tent of Meeting
29 The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels; 30 with it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar, 31 the bases around the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.
Exodus 38:29-31
1 The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of livestock from the herd or from the flock. 3 If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.”
Leviticus 1:1-3
Summary of the Bronze feet
In the Bible, one of the uses of bronze was to represent that it was for everyone, not just one kind of person. It was for anyone willing to receive. Anyone willing to accept and be healed. Anyone willing to accept Salvation and be saved, delivered, and redeemed. So, the Bible records the Cherubim’s feet as bronze because they are angels, ministering spirits, bringing Salvation, redemption, and healing to all people willing to receive it by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior. The Cherubim’s hands and feet are connected in the way that they both are representations of healing, redemption, and receiving Salvation.
The Cherubim’s Human Hands
The Cherubim have human hands because they can bestow the Spirit of God and the gifts of God upon those whom they lay hands on, as all angels, both spiritual beings and human beings, can.
17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:17
14 Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.
1 Timothy 4:14
5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
The Cherubim have the face of man, the face of a lion, the face of an ox, and the face of an eagle. We established in part one that the face of man and their likeness of man represented their connection to man. So, does the Cherubim’s face of an eagle and an ox represent their connection to those animals? What does it mean to have the face of an eagle and ox? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the answer in part two, The Face of an Eagle and an Ox, in our series, What are the Cherubim?
10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 1:10
The Cherubim’s Face of an Eagle
Eagles are associated with the presence of God. Eagles’ wings in particular are associated with the right and path to enter into the presence of the LORD.
4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.
Exodus 19:4
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. 11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions, 12 the Lord alone guided him, no foreign god was with him.
Deuteronomy 32:10–12
The Cherubim’s face of an eagle represents its connection and relationship with God. The Cherubim can enter into the presence and glory of God.
The Cherubim’s Face of an Ox
In the Bible, the ox is associated with winning souls for Christ.
17 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.”
1 Timothy 5:17-18
9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
1 Corinthians 9:9-10
The Cherubim’s face of the ox represents their job description as angels because they are ministering spirits.
Whenever we see Cherubim, we see them depicted as cute chubby little babies with wings. Often times we see them with a cute little bow and arrow ready to spread love, like Cupid. But is that what Cherubim look like? Aren’t the Cherubim cute, chubby little babies with wings? How does the Bible describe Cherubim? Does the Bible even describe Cherubim? Why did the Bible say that one of the Cherubim’s faces was man? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to find the answer to these questions in our video, What are the Cherubim? Pt. 1: The Face of Man.
5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, 6 but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.
Ezekiel 1:5-6
10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 1:10
The four faces of the Cherubim are the face of man, lion, ox, and eagle. The Cherubim’s face of man represents their connection to humanity. This is the same word used when describing the creation of man.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26
This is why they are described as having the likeness of man. They are connected to man.
Satan and Lucifer have to be two of the most talked about entities of the Bible. But Satan is our main enemy. We even refer to him as the king of the Kingdom of Darkness.

Is Satan Stronger Than Lucifer?
Satan and Lucifer
Satan and Lucifer are two different beings. Everything about Lucifer and Satan is different, including what type of being they are. Satan is a Beast of the Field, while Lucifer is a star-like celestial being.
Satan
1bNow the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
Genesis 3:1b
7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Lucifer
12 How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star (Lucifer), son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 13 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ 15 But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.
Lucifer is stronger than Satan for many reasons, but one main reason. Lucifer is an angel, while Satan is a Glorious One. Angels are stronger than the Glorious Ones because they have to fight off territorial spirits in order to bring messages between the realms.
10 and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
Like most Christians, when I was a child, I imagined that the Serpent in the Garden was a literal snake that once had four legs but was then cursed to slither on its stomach for the rest of its life. After much research, we found that that wasn’t quite Biblical. In our video, The Beast of the Field, we explained that the Serpent in the Garden of Eden was actually a dragon. Not only that, but it was actually Satan himself. So, if the Serpent wasn’t a snake that lost its legs, what was Satan’s curse for tempting the woman with the Forbidden Fruit? Join ArieRashelle in our video, What Was the Serpent’s Curse in the Garden?, as she searches through Scripture to find the answer.
14 The Lord God said to the serpent [Satan], “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
Genesis 3:14-15
How to Satan
11 And they have conquered him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
Revelation 12:11
1 I love you, O Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalms 18:1-3
Summary
Satan’s curse in the Garden of Eden was that he would have enmity between him and all of mankind above any animal or beasts of the field. He would also always go on his belly because his ways would always be detestable. And finally, he would eat the dust of the earth all of his days, because he would always be humbled by the Children of God because Christ finished it all on the cross.
Whenever we talk about angels, we think about a special race of celestial beings flying around in Heaven as they play harps and sing. We depict angels as human-looking beings with beautiful flowing hair, and usually, we depict them as women. But is this true? Are angels a race of celestial beings, or is there more to the story?

Gabriel
15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, and it called, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” 17 So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened and fell on my face. But he said to me, “Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”
Daniel 8:15-17
18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel.

12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. 13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, 14 and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”
Daniel 10:12-14
8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10 But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.

When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth 2 and said, “My lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will spend the night in the town square.” 3 But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:19-22
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
Hebrews 12:22–24
Summary
There is a Spiritual War for our souls going on right now. We don’t just have demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits, etc., surrounding us always. But, we also have Territorial Spirits that rule over the twelve regions of the earth. They have authority over those regions, which is one of the reasons God tells us we need to be born again so that our citizenship is in Heaven.
Because our citizenship is now in Heaven, those Territorial Spirits have no claim over us. We can overcome anything that comes in our way. Mountains are brought low before us, and seas are parted so that we may fulfill our call and live our lives for our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. Because of this, evil spirits, demons, unclean spirits, and all other beings cannot overcome us in this Spiritual War that we are fighting, for our soul belongs to God.
