We have to face it... I know the human ego wants to be the center of it all. We want it to be all about us. But there are greater creatures in this creation that are higher than man. Fearsome, strange, and downright freaky creatures. Are they some sort of living hieroglyph? I think the idea is cool... clearly these very real beasts represent a greater reality. Every lamb slaughtered in the OT was a literal lamb, but typified Christ. These can be literal angelic creatures and be living hieroglyphs. I see them as living celestial representatives of creation itself. They are seen when all creation is giving praise to the Lamb of God.

I cast out devils, seen cancers healed and use word of knowledge, so the supernatural is not something we explain away at all. lol. Angels are not cherubims. They have the faces of earthly creatures and I believe were very literal beings, but even existing in reality are still symbolic. So I think they are literal creatures. Yes. But they are representative. Living hieroglyphs.
Cherubims were on the ark over the mercyseat indicating we are seated with Christ on his throne over all powers.
CHERUBS are COVERING entities. Covering means authority and power. Adam had authority in the Garden over the earth. TRADITION says the king of Tyrus was satan, but that is tradition. It may be right. But I lean towards Adam.
