⁵⁶ R. Guénon, 'Le Roi du Monde', "In the figure of the celestial Jerusalem the circle is replaced by a square. The sphere represents the development of possibilities by expansion of the primordial and central point. It transforms into a cube, when this development is achieved and the final equilibrium is attained in that cycle". The vision of Ezekiel (41, 1) describes the Tabernacle as 6 cubits square. The brazen altar in the Tabernacle in the wilderness (Exod. 27. 1) and the oracle in the temple of Solomon (I. Kings, 6. 20) are square in plan. The oracle in the Temple, and the heavenly city of the Apocalypse are cubes.
