Scripture is not iconoclastic, there are extensive passages in the Old Testament regarding the liturgical worship and the use of icons.

In 1 Kings 6:23-35 Solomon makes carvings of Cherubim in the Temple, in Exodus 25:18-20 once again Cherubim are placed on the Ark of the Covenant, in Exodus 26:1, 31-33 images of Cherubim are placed all around the Tabernacle, and in Exodus 41 there's a long detailed description of a new temple with images of Cherubim carved all over the walls.

Iconography was present in Jewish synagogue worship prior to Christ as well, have you seen the Dura-Europos Synagogue? With walls covered in iconography? What about examining pre-Nicene Churches and caves? Once again walls covered in iconography.

To deny icons is to deny the incarnation, we can depict Christ because He came down in an incarnate state, as a man. If there is no issue depicting humans who lived in the past, why would we not be able to depict Christ's likeness as a man?
