The Sacred Cube Symbol By Elyah Israel Symbols are powerful! Symbols express concepts that are difficult to articulate. The three dimensional Cube is a most interesting symbol, representing the Universe, the Planet Earth (the plane of physical manifestation), and the Human Body. The three dimensional Cube derives from the two dimensional Square. The Square is not a shape indigenous to Nature. The Square represents the strong and stable Foundation on which the Man of God stands. Esoterically, the Cube represents the Soul quarried from God -The Universal Spirit- refined, polished, and perfected through experience, trails, and hardships. The three dimensional Cube corresponds to The Holy Name Yahweh. The three dimensional Cube consists of 12 lines, 8 points, and 6 sides (12+8+6=26). The gematria of The Holy Name Yahweh is 26. The three dimensional Cube is The Holy Name of Yahweh expressed geometrically! The Cube is a very prominent symbol that is found in the three great monotheistic (One God) traditions of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. The Cube in Islam is the Kaaba ('Arabic for "cube") in the Holy City of Makkah, which houses the Black Stone. The Cube in Judaism is the Tephillin. In Christianity, the Cube is the Cornerstone of the Temple that the builders rejected. The Cross is the Cube unfolded. When the Cube is unfolded it forms a seven part Cross. The Cube (Yahweh concealed) is the Cross (Yahweh revealed). The Hebrew word Mitzvoth ("Commandments"), as found in Leviticus 4:27 has the gematria of 576 (12x8x6). One interesting concept is that the Ten Commandments were not "tablets" of stone, but "cubes" of sapphire stone, because the Hebrew word "luhoth" also means, "cubes." Each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph Beyt is a Cube, or a Building Block forming all that exists. Thusly, the Holy Hebrew Bible contains within it all that exists.
