The Third Eye in the Bible
The concept of the “third eye” is often associated with spiritual insight and enlightenment. While the Bible does not explicitly mention the word “third eye,” it contains numerous references to spiritual vision and enlightenment. These passages can be interpreted as alluding to a deeper, spiritual understanding that goes beyond physical sight. Let’s explore some of these scriptures.
Matthew 6:22-23, Jesus says, “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.” Some interpret this as referring to a spiritual eye that allows one to see truth and righteousness.
Similarly, in Ephesians 1:18, Paul prays that “the eyes of your heart may be enlightened.” This has been interpreted by some as referring to a spiritual or metaphorical third eye that allows one to perceive spiritual truths.
While these interpretations are not universally accepted and are subject to debate among scholars and theologians, they highlight the Bible’s emphasis on spiritual perception and enlightenment rather than a literal third eye.
Spiritual Enlightenment in the Old Testament
1 Samuel 14:27“But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath; wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.”
1 Samuel 14:29“Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land; see, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.”
In these verses, Jonathan experiences physical enlightenment through the act of eating honey. This can be seen as a metaphor for gaining spiritual insight and clarity.
Job 33:30“To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.”
Here, enlightenment is associated with being brought back from despair and into the light of life, symbolizing spiritual awakening and renewal.
Psalm 19:8“The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.”
Spiritual Enlightenment in the New Testament
Ephesians 1:18“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.”
Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians is that their spiritual eyes be opened to understand the hope and riches of God’s calling.
Hebrews 6:4“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost.”
This verse speaks of those who have experienced spiritual enlightenment and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
My Third Eye in a Dream
I had a dream that the matrix was for real. In the dream, I was placed into something like water, and then I appeared back into society. It wasn’t everyday society, because I had a third eye in the center of my forehead; it was bloodshot red. When I saw it in the mirror, it scared me, but then I grew to like it. In the dream, people who didn’t have a third eye would be arrested.
In the dream, someone stole my third eye, so all I did was lay my head into the pillow on the bed, afraid that I would be arrested. Also in the dream, I was an officer, and officers have a tattoo on their upper back; my tattoo had been stolen, removed with a laser. So in other words, I was an officer who could not prove that he was an officer because my tattoo was removed and my third eye removed. I don’t really remember all the dreams, but I do know that God shut down the matrix and put everyone back on Earth. Note: In my dream, not everyone from earth was in the matrix.
Conclusion
The Bible does not directly reference a “third eye,” it is rich with imagery and language that speaks to spiritual enlightenment and inner vision. These scriptures encourage believers to seek a deeper understanding and connection with God, illuminating their spiritual path and enriching their faith journey.
