Symbolism of Shape

The circle or sphere has no beginning or ending point, just as the Lord has no beginning or ending. The circle or sphere can be seen as having 1 side or an infinite amount of sides, just as the Lord is called the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. The sphere can also be seen as having infinite dimensions, as opposed to man who lives in a three dimensional world.

Man has a beginning that ends with another beginning, which is shown with a line or in the representation of the 6 sided hexahedron which is made up of four sided polygons to represent our being made in the image of the Lord. The hexahedron is in three dimensions to represent our three dimensional world (from which mankind came and was born/raised into) that came into full existence on the third day. The cube is the closest hexahedron to a sphere to represent bringing man face to face into the family of the Lord through Yeshua. This is why the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle is always in the shape of a cube. New Jerusalem, the new Heaven/Holy of Holies (Rev 21:2, 10, 16), is also a cube for this reason.

An oval or egg shape is the representation of the Holy Spirit. It is the Lord the Holy Spirit that gives physical mankind the spiritual breath of life here on earth and in Heaven.

All shapes in-between the sphere and the hexahedron show a representation of something in the middle. The more curves or closeness to a sphere the more spiritual the representation, while the straighter flatter shapes represent more worldly symbolism.
