The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.
The cherubim carved on these walls, each wearing a man's face on one side and a lion's face on the other, show us the character angels bear in their warfare against darkness: the wisdom of man joined with the courage of a lion, both fixed toward the palm of victory. These ornaments teach us that in the assemblies of God's people, the holy angels are present and active.

Commenting on Ezekiel 41:12-26
The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits,.... This was the altar of incense, and was typical of Christ in his intercession and mediation. It was made of "wood"; that in the tabernacle of Moses was of shittim wood, a kind of cedar; and that in Solomon's temple was of cedar, Exo 30:1 and may signify the human nature...
table . . . before the Lord--the altar of incense (Eze 44:16). At it, not at the table of showbread, the priests daily ministered. It stood in front of the veil, and is therefore said to be "before the Lord." It is called a table, as being that at which the Lord will take delight in His people, as at a feast.
