Cube in a dream
Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa
Also: Square block, Hexahedron, Perfect cube
What it means
Divine perfection, complete holiness, and the absolute presence of God. Because a cube has perfectly equal length, width and height, it serves as a geometric symbol of ultimate balance, stability and unchanging truth.
The Holy of Holies: the innermost chamber of the tabernacle and of Solomon's temple was a perfect cube, twenty cubits long, wide and high. It represents the secret place, God's presence and God's sovereignty.
The New Jerusalem is likewise measured with its length, breadth and height equal.
✦ When it is positive
- God's ultimate nature
- His presence
- Ultimate power
- Divine being
- Stability and unchanging truth
⚠ When it is a warning
- A cube treated as an object of power in itself
How to tell the difference
PROPHETICALLY IN RELATION TO MAN, the cube represents the three spatial dimensions — length, height and width — and so what affects the material world, what is temporal, the material realm. Establish whether the dream concerns God's presence or man's temporal realm.
Scripture
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
