A brief analysis of the biblical story of the Garden of Eden tells us that there never could have been a Garden of Eden as described. The Book of Genesis identifies four rivers that went out of Eden, the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. The Tigris, and Euphrates are clearly known to us as being in south-western Asia, but the Gihon is described as being in Ethiopia, which is actually in another continent.
.
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that there can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. True, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the lands the text associates with the first two rivers are clearly separated from the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the first to the north, the second to the south. This geographical impossibility tells us that the Garden of Eden was a purely mythical place.
If there was no Garden of Eden, there was no flaming sword to block the path to the Tree of Life. In ancient times, with no concept of guns or land mines, a flaming sword seemed the most terrifying weapon to threaten anyone who attempted to find a way back.
Adam and EveAnswer:Genesis 3:24New King James Version (NKJV)24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
It is unclear in the Bible which angel held the flaming sword. Here is the scripture you perhaps mean: Genesis 3.24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
in the garden of good and evil protected by an angel with a flaming sword
Most likely this refers to the cherubims in Genesis who guarded the way back to the Tree of Life after the fall into sin by Adam and Eve. Genesis 3 v24 - After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
nowhere according to the bible it is blocked from human sight by a cheribum with a flaming sword

I'm not positive but I think the flaming sword in the bible means that all the worshipers are in love with God, so in other words God is their flaming sword (mine too).
The flaming sword is behind thr wizard in the purple robe in chapter IV - A Wizard's robe and tools.
