My study continues ....Have you ever wondered how our emotions, energy centers, and spiritual life are connected? As I studied my scriptures this week, especially Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4, I was deeply moved by the layered symbolism and how it relates to our emotional and energetic health. Let’s explore what God's Word says about our body as a spiritual vessel, and how our feelings and chakras reflect God’s divine design.
Ezekiel 1: The Vision of the Living Creatures and Our Inner Landscape
In Ezekiel 1 (KJV), the prophet describes an awe-inspiring vision. A whirlwind, a great cloud with fire and amber—a scene full of divine energy and mystery. These vivid images point to the Holy Spirit of God moving powerfully within and around us.
The Four Living Creatures: Emotions in Human Form
- Verses 4–6 describe four living creatures, each with the likeness of a man but with four faces. These can be seen as symbolic of the four stages of life: child, teen, adult, and elder.
- In verse 10, we read that each creature had:
- The face of a man – symbolic of joy and the human experience.
- The face of a lion – representing courage, particularly in times of fear.
- The face of an ox – symbolizing righteous action in response to anger, especially when boundaries are violated (think of Jesus turning over the tables in the temple).
- The face of an eagle – signifying the ability to rise above grief, releasing sadness to soar spiritually.
These four faces represent emotional responses that guide our growth. Our feelings, when understood and channeled properly, are not weaknesses, instead they are our spiritual cues for movement and transformation.
Energy Centers & the Seven Spirits of God
- Verse 13 tells of each creature appearing like burning coals of fire—like lamps. These lights running up and down the body can be understood as our seven energy centers or chakras, corresponding with the Seven Spirits of God.
- Out of these centers comes lightning—a nod to our electromagnetic nature, where hormonal signals are constantly being sent through the body to keep us in balance. Each chakra is connected to a gland in the endocrine system, showing how deeply spirit and biology intertwine.
Wheels Within Wheels, Eyes All Around
- Verses 15–20 speak of "wheels within wheels" filled with eyes. This could represent our sensory awareness, always perceiving our surroundings and signaling emotional or hormonal responses. The "eyes" reflect the perceptive nature of our divine spirit—constantly watching, sensing, feeling.
- Verse 24 describes the sound of wings—a beautiful metaphor for how each chakra or energy center has its own vibration or resonance. If you have one, try placing an activated tuning fork over your third eye or crown chakra and feel the difference—they literally hum louder with vibrational energy.
God’s Glory Surrounds Us
- Verse 27–28 speaks of a brilliant aura surrounding the figure in the vision, "as the appearance of a bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain"—a rainbow. The rainbow is a symbol of the chakra system, with its seven distinct colors.
- This rainbow around us is the glory of God, our spiritual aura. It shines brighter the more connected we are to God.
Revelation 4: The Throne, the Rainbow, and the Energy of Love
Turning to Revelation 4, we see John taken in spirit to behold the throne of God.
- Verse 2–3 describe the throne surrounded by a rainbow, with green shining prominently. Green is the color of the heart chakra, the center of love. And what do we know? God is love. This rainbow isn’t just beautiful—it’s deeply symbolic of divine connection.
- Verse 5 mentions seven lamps of fire, again pointing to the seven spirits of God and their reflection in our energy centers.
- The four beasts appear again in verse 7—lion, man, calf (ox), and eagle—mirroring Ezekiel’s vision and the energy centers/chakras of mankind.
Spiritual Insight: Emotions, Energy & Divine Alignment
What stands out in both Ezekiel and Revelation is the sacred blueprint of the human being. We are emotional, energetic, and spiritual beings. Our:
- Emotions signal when something is aligned or off course.
- Energy centers (chakras) reflect our spiritual health and hormone balance.
- Aura shines based on our connection with God and our emotional clarity.
When our senses take in the world, we respond—sometimes with fear, sometimes with courage, sometimes with grief or righteous anger. These responses are spiritually significant. Our body becomes the temple where Spirit and emotion meet.
Final Thoughts
As you meditate on Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4, consider how God has designed your body not just as flesh, but as a vessel of light, energy, and divine reflection. Your feelings are not random. Your emotions are sacred messengers. Your aura is your testimony. And the closer you walk with God, the more your light shines.
Let your rainbow shine bright.
