Cherubiel/Eyewitness

The Radiant Guardian of Hidden Realms

Cherubiel, also known as Eyewitness, is no ordinary angel—he is a prince of the celestial order, born from the clan of Archangel Gabriel, one of the mightiest heralds in all of Shamayim. In the vast universe of The 24 Elders, Cherubiel stands as a figure of profound wisdom, radiant humility, and unshakable loyalty to the divine order. Among the legions of light, his presence commands reverence; among mortals, his name echoes as a bridge between seen and unseen worlds.

Eyewitness is distinguished not only by his title but by his heritage. Being of Gabriel’s clan, his form bears a striking resemblance to humanity—light brown skin like that of the African race, a reflection of the warmth and brilliance that mark the essence of Gabriel’s line. His eyes shine with the memory of countless ages, and his aura glows with a light that humbles even the higher angels. He embodies the harmony between divine strength and gentle understanding, between heavenly discipline and infinite compassion.

But Cherubiel’s role extends far beyond that of a mere prince-angel. He is a messenger of revelation—one of the few chosen to walk the boundaries between divine and mortal realms. It is through him that Hakkadosh, the protagonist of The 24 Elders: Hakkadosh’s Ghost Tale, receives the sacred tale of creation, rebellion, and redemption. When Hakkadosh experiences uncontrolled astral projections, struggling to discern whether his experiences are divine visitations or demonic assaults, it is Cherubiel who appears as his guide and protector.

Through radiant light and calm authority, Eyewitness leads Hakkadosh across hidden universes—realms that even angels speak of in hushed tones. Their journeys take them first through Rahah-Kol, the universe of red stars and floating mats, where the history of creation is recorded and preserved in glowing memory fields. It is here that Cherubiel allows Hakkadosh to see the past and future simultaneously, revealing how the rebellion of Lucifer shook the very foundations of existence. Every step in Rahah-Kol becomes a lesson in humility and divine justice, for the mats they walk upon reveal not just celestial history but also the secrets of the human soul.

From there, Eyewitness leads his mortal companion to Olam-Machashebeth, the universe of eternal snowfall and fiery stars—a paradoxical realm of both heat and tranquility, where the Creator’s thoughts take form. Beneath the shade of a mysterious tree, Cherubiel becomes not just a guide but a teacher, instructing Hakkadosh on the language of stars, the birth of ideas, and the sacred laws that govern the multiverse. Each word he speaks carries both the authority of the 24 Elders and the tenderness of one who remembers the sorrow of the rebellion that tore creation apart.

One of Cherubiel’s most defining acts occurs upon the Road-of-No-Return, a spiritual bridge of immense danger and temptation that separates realms of light from the depths of darkness. As they walk this perilous path, Eyewitness gives Hakkadosh a pair of protective spiritual footwear, crafted from divine energy. This sacred gift shields him from the consuming flames of judgment that line the path—a symbolic gesture that marks Hakkadosh as one under divine protection. In that moment, the guardian angel becomes a living covenant, ensuring that the mortal chosen to bear the tale of creation survives his passage through forbidden realms.

Cherubiel’s title, Eyewitness, is no mere name—it is a destiny. He has seen the birth of stars from the fires of Yam-Esh, the creation of universes like Olam-Zaku and Tehom, and the fall of the greatest angels into darkness. His eyes have beheld both the love of Ahavah and the pride of Lucifer; he has witnessed the moment when light first defied shadow, and when mercy first conquered judgment. These memories are not simply visions—they are imprinted in his being, making him a living record of divine truth.

Yet beneath his radiance lies a quiet sorrow. Cherubiel remembers the friends and kin who followed Lucifer into rebellion. He recalls the brilliance of their light before it was darkened by pride, and he mourns them still. This empathy gives him a unique tenderness toward humanity, for he understands that humans are the reincarnated souls of those who once fell—beings given another chance through the mercy of Ahavah. In guiding Hakkadosh, he sees not just a mortal, but a reflection of the fallen angels’ hope for restoration.

Cherubiel’s loyalty to the 24 Elders is absolute. He speaks with their voice, carries their authority, and acts as their bridge to the worlds of men. His presence signifies divine approval, and his words often carry layered meanings—revealing truths only to those whose spirits are ready to understand. To Hakkadosh, he is both mentor and mystery, guardian and gateway, friend and fearful wonder.

In the hierarchy of light, Cherubiel stands as a herald of revelation, bridging realms that were never meant to meet. His radiance is not of glory but of purpose—to remind both celestial and mortal beings that even in mystery, there is divine order; even in the unknown, there is meaning.

His name, Eyewitness, reminds all creation that Ahavah leaves no act unseen and no truth forgotten. Through Cherubiel, the divine narrative continues—a story that connects the heavens to Earth, the angels to men, and the light to all that was once lost in darkness.

But who is Cherubiel beyond the titles and light?

He is remembrance itself—the living testimony of the Creator’s design, the watcher who bears witness to every fall and every redemption. And though he walks beside man only for a season, his gaze never leaves them, for he sees in each soul the faint reflection of a once-glorious angel yearning to find its way home.
