Angel An angel, especially according to Abrahamic religions, is a spiritual being superior to humans in power and intelligence. Angels are typically described as benevolent, dreadful, and endowed with wisdom and knowledge of earthly events, but not infallible; for they strive with each other, and God has to make peace between them. Most of them serve either as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits.
Cherub A cherub ( ; also pl. cherubim; Hebrew: כְּרוּב‎ ‎ "kərūv", pl. , "kərūvîm"; Latin "cherub", pl. "cherubin, cherubim"; Syriac ܟܪܘܒܐ) is one of the unearthly beings who directly attend to God according to Abrahamic religions. The numerous depictions of cherubim assign to them many different roles; their original duty having been the protection of the Garden of Eden. Angelic status is not attributed to cherubim in the Old Testament (at least not explicitly); only in later sources such as "De Coelesti Hierarchia" are they identified as a hierarchical rank of angels.
