_eaxn'r'snoon counts. 1loryand the of the God of Israel was above the cheruliims.'lghese cherubims are alively type of the Old andNew Testament. The signification of cherub is "fulnessof knowled e;" so is the vord of God, "that theman of God may ie thoroughly furnished, perfect in everyood work." They have the whole truth, all we canE-now about Jesus Christ in this state.

Candlesticks are used in Scripture in"the same sense as And Davidlanéps.says, Thy word isa lamp to my feet a light to my path." Therefore 1humbly believe that I have fairly and conclusively proved
