The Meaning of Metatron’s Cube Explained

Gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of Metatron’s Cube and its spiritual significance. The Cube of Metatron is explained best by discussing the shape’s origin, its place within Sacred Geometry, and its differences from other Platonic solids.

Let’s explore how Archangel Metatron's mystical symbol influenced an entire field of spiritual study in Jewish mysticism.

What Is Metatron’s Cube?

Metatron’s Cube is a complex, two-dimensional design in Sacred Geometry.

It depicts a three-dimensional object found in the biblical Apocrypha.

According to some post-Second Temple Jews and early Christians, the cube emerges from the Archangel Metatron’s soul.

The Babylonian Talmud describes Metatron, a modernization of the Hebrew word "Mattatron," as the Heavenly Scribe. 

The cube is also a perfectly adorned Merkabah or throne-chariot, and serves as the means by which Enoch, Elijah, and others bodily ascended to Heaven.

Adept lightworkers may easily draw a connection between the Merkaba, Metatron's Cube, and the pineal gland.

The Archangel Metatron Sacred Geometry Symbol: Origin of Metatron’s Cube

The origin of the cube is mysterious because the geometrical shape was likely discovered in several places at different points in history.

Still, we have some idea of where the cube came from based on historical references.

Who Created Metatron’s Cube?

The person who discovered the Cube in Europe was Fibonacci, aka Leonardo Pisano, one of the world’s most famous mathematicians.

However, civilizations in Asia and Africa probably learned how to use Metatron's Cube earlier, most likely in Egypt and India.

Nevertheless, credit goes to Fibonacci in the West.

Archangel Metatron’s Cube and the Platonic Solids

You can begin to appreciate Fibonacci's creation once you realize Metatron's Cube includes all the geometric shapes found in our universe, including some of the building blocks to organic life forms and all five Platonic solids.

A Platonic solid is a three-dimensional, convex, regular polyhedron.

The five Platonic solids include the cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

The Greek philosopher Plato and other ancient Greeks revered the three-dimensional shapes for their positive energies.

The longer you stare at the cube, the more geometric shapes you discover.

For example, you may twice notice the three-dimensional Metatron’s Star, the 369 triangle, and an eight-pointed star with conical rays.

Six of the rays radiate sideways, while the other two point directly at and away from the viewer.

What Is the Significance of Metatron’s Cube in Sacred Geometry?

The meaning of Metatron’s Cube in Sacred Geometry depends on the viewer’s level of understanding.

Novices will see the Cube of Metatron as a two-dimensional object without knowing what the circles and straight lines represent, or failing to see the cube at all. 

Adepts who meditate on Archangel Metatron’s Cube may view it as a three-dimensional cube that contains all five Platonic solids.

A few individuals who meditate on the cube as a visual focal point may begin to see it in five dimensions, revealing new shapes and patterns over time (fourth dimension) as it moves through space-time (fifth dimension).

In some cases, Metatron appears to divulge heavenly secrets.

Metatron’s Cube Explained

Most people who first encounter the Metatron’s Cube symbol will immediately grasp its significance in some vague way.

The symmetry and complexity of the design speak to the organized parts of the human mind.

But, what does Metatron’s Cube represent? What is the true meaning of Metatron’s Cube?

Symbol of Our Universe

In Sacred Geometry, Metatron's Cube is the symbolic representation of our universe in its entirety.

All neatly packaged together in a little cube, we have all of the shapes necessary for Creation.

We also see order and dynamism, growth and restraint, clarity and mystery.

Symbolizing creation—Metatron’s Cube is the closest we will get to recreating all aspects of the universe in a physical form, especially the Big Bang.

Inherent Hierarchies

As a complex figure that depicts all the shapes in the material world, the cube also reminds us of the hierarchies present in nature, as well as spiritual hierarchies.

As King of the Angels, Metatron serves as the intermediary between God and any other high-ranking angel, although he will command lesser angels and give word to humans, as well.

The spiritual hierarchies found in the cube reflect the political hierarchies here on Earth.

Archangel Metatron’s Cube in 3D

Some viewers express difficulty in seeing Archangel Metatron’s Cube in 3D when looking at the traditional, two-dimensional design.

Many people wish to learn how to draw Metatron's Cube. To assist anyone who wishes to see Metatron’s Cube in three dimensions, we have included the following simplified image:

Most 2D depictions of the Cube include circles drawn on all eight corners of both the inner and outer cube because artists first draw circles to create the Fruit of Life as the starting point.

These circles intersect with many of the other shapes within the Cube, including the Merkaba. 

FAQ

At Galactic Federation of Light, we field dozens of spiritual questions every day. To assist our readers better, we answer some of the most common questions about the cube below.

Are the Merkaba & Metatrons Cube Symbol the Same?

The Merkaba & Metatrons Cube are not the same, although they are related. Metatron's Cube derives from the Merkabah and contains a Merkabah within itself. In a way, Metatron’s Cube represents the logical, geometric extension of the first Merkabah. So, the Cube of Metatron is a Merkabah, but it is not the Merkaba. 

Is Sacred Geometry Real?

Sacred Geometry is real and stems from observations of repeating shapes and patterns found in nature. Its study has generated advancements in nearly every field, including medicine, architecture, music, fine art, and more. Not only is sacred geometry real, but it also underpins almost everything we do while remaining hidden just beyond our immediate perception.

Are Metatron’s Cube and the Flower of Life the Same?

Metatron’s Cube and the Flower of Life are not the same, but they both fit onto a circle grid. However, The 13 circles of the angel Metatron Cube merely touch; whereas, the Flower of Life is composed of 61 overlapping circles.
