Cody's Eye Spiritually Discerned Prophetic Art-
Cody's Eye- White Feathered Wings in the Air and on my chest- The Blessing of Jesus.
Depictions of Jesus with angel wings symbolize his divine nature, his role as both God and man, and his ability to move between the earthly and heavenly realms. Wings can also represent his protection, a connection to the spiritual realm, and his ultimate victory over death. The imagery draws from traditional iconography, such as the winged man representing Matthew's Gospel, and from biblical descriptions of heavenly beings like the seraphim.
Symbolic meanings
Incarnation: The wings on a human-like form represent the incarnation—the event of God becoming human in Jesus—highlighting both his divine origin and his humanity.
Spiritual authority and connection: The wings symbolize Jesus's connection to the spiritual realm, his role as a divine messenger, and his authority over heaven and earth.
Protection and guidance: In some contexts, wings represent divine protection, guidance, and the sheltering presence of a higher power.
Freedom and victory: Wings can symbolize spiritual freedom, and in the context of Jesus, they can represent his resurrection and ultimate victory over sin and death.
Iconographical and historical context
Medieval art: Depicting holy figures and even Christ with wings was a practice common in medieval art, often used to show the divine nature of the soul or the spiritual state of a saint.
Winged Man of Matthew: A traditional symbol for the Gospel of Matthew is a winged man, representing the divine and human aspects of Jesus. This imagery also informed the broader depiction of winged figures in Christian art.
Crucified Seraph: Icons of the "Crucified Seraph" are a specific type of iconography that combines the image of Jesus on the cross with seraphim, who are described in the Bible as having multiple wings and a high rank.
