Cody's Eye Spiritually Discerned Prophetic Art- The Sphinx Hand of God 2025A.D.
The Sphinx is called the "Strangler" (from the Greek sphingein, "to squeeze") because Greek mythology portrayed it as a monster that strangled those who failed to solve her riddle. Jesus connects to the Sphinx symbolically through early Christian theology, where the Sphinx’s four-fold nature (man/lion/bull/eagle) is linked to the four Evangelists and Christ’s roles in resurrection and ascension.
"Sphinx" is a Greek corruption of the Egyptian shesepankh, meaning "living image," referring to the statue rather than the beast.
Connection to Jesus
Four-Beast Symbolism: Early Christian tradition, such as that of Irenaeus of Lyon, connects the four-fold nature of the Sphinx (representing man, lion, bull, and eagle) to the four Evangelists and the attributes of Christ.
Archetype of Humanity: The Sphinx is sometimes interpreted in anthroposophy as a "Luciferic phenomenon" representing animal forces within humanity that are overcome through the sacrifice of Christ.
