God commands images made.
Exodus 25:18-22
And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work
shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on
the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the
cherubims on the two ends thereof.
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high,
covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces
shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the
faces of the cherubims be.
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in
the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee
from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims
which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I
will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
Exodus 26:1,31
Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of
fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with
cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them....
And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it
be made:
Numbers 21:8-9
And the LORD said unto Moses, "Make thee a fiery serpent, and
set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one
that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and
it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he
beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Solomon's temple: statues and images.
1 Kings 6:23-29, 35, 7:25, 29
And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree,
each ten cubits high.
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five
cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part
of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten
cubits.
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were
of one measure and one size.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of
the other cherub.
And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they
stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing
of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other
cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one
another in the midst of the house.
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with
carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers,
within and without....
And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open
flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved
work....
It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was set upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward....
And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions,
oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base
above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions
made of thin work.
Elisha's bones.
2 Kings 13:20-21
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the
Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold,
they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the
sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and
touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his
feet.
Peter's shadow.
Acts 5:15-16
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets,
and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the
shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto
Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with
unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Woman healed by touching Jesus' garment.
Mark 5:25-29
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent
all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew
worse,
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
touched his garment.
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and
she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
