Ezekiel 9:3-4 & Ezekiel 10:1-22
In Ezekiel 9:3-4, the cherubim are associated with God’s glory and presence:
“Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, ‘Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.’”
Ezekiel sees a vision of the cherubim with God's glory departing from the Temple:
“Then I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of sapphire above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim. The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, ‘Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.’ And as I watched, he went in.”
In these passages, the cherubim are associated with God’s presence and glory. In Ezekiel's vision, the cherubim are positioned above the threshold of the temple, and they play a crucial role in the departure of God’s glory from the Temple, symbolizing the divine judgment on the people of Israel for their sins.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Dalí would emphasize the mystical and surreal qualities of this moment, blending themes of divine judgment and the departure of God’s glory from the Temple. By using abstract, fluid forms and cosmic imagery, Dalí would explore the profound spiritual significance of this biblical event.
