I got stuck on the Cherubim today...and pomegranates and gourds. Why were gourds used in the design? I thought they were symbolic of poison or some such thing? I really want to see what other people think all this looked like but i haven’t found a good detailed piece of artwork to save my life. I looked up all three of these items and their images elude me.
What little treasure did I find in all of this? I suppose the fact that all the materials were the finest around, crafted by the finest men and still this comes to mind...The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods. But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before him? 2 Chronicles 2:5-6 (ESV)
