RMB is probably correct (Lisa, we're talking the Rambam's shittah) that
the location of a mal'akh according to the Rambam could [and would--ZL]
be the part of the world where it is charged to act.
But in any case, the original issue was not whether the end of the eitz
ha-daas episode, with the keruvim, must be understood as a mashal. It
was whether the Rambam's thesis about man's perceptionability of
melachim would necessarily put the entire eitz ha-daas episode, from the
beginning, exclusively into the realm of prophetic vision and mashal,
making the only question "what is the nimshal in the nevuah?", not "what
species is the tree?". I think not.
