得窥天境

得窥天境，须看透红尘万丈；人神相通，只凭借灵犀一缕。信靠耶稣，此外路路是绝望；坚定不移，万里迢迢聚天堂。

Figure 1.D Winged Protector

A cherub (Hebrew plural cherubim) was not a cherry-cheeked child, such as we might imagine Cupid with his bow and arrow. In the ancient Middle East a cherub was a man-headed lion or bull with eagles' wings that stood guard outside Mesopotamian temples. The term cherub appears to derive from the Akkadian word kuribu that was attached to such protector figures.

Layard (1850), page 76.
