Mary as the burning bush icon - a representation of the holy of holies and the heavenly throne of Ezekiel.abijah wrote: ↑November 27th, 2022, 2:28 pmThis is a good point and one I've been thinking about. This really comes through in images like JHWH sitting above the Ark of the Covenant, or baby`Jesus sitting on Mary's lap, in both of which the sacred feminine functions as God's throne
I wonder how this applies to the merkabah`chariot Ezekiel saw in his vision (ch 1), which is essentially a throne in vehicle form, a throne that's mobile, and what the implications would be in terms of this idea of feminine thrones, and why *prayer* (to tie it back to the op) isnt the proper way in which we interact this.
The Ark was also a portable throne, (the kind one would certainly use while wandering in the wilderness), though the priesthood were the ones in charge of handling its transportation.
Blasphemy? Or the original temple theology?
