- W215455411 abstract "The four elements - earth, air, fire, and water - are a tetrad associated with both divinity and creation, in Greco-Roman paganism and in Judeo-Christian tradition. God is their Creator, controlling them yet apart from them and not affected by them. (Islam also reflects these concepts regularly.) They are the primordial opposites, and He alone can subdue and harmonize them. Symbolically, they can be seen as the four animals of the divine chariot in the vision of Ezekiel; and they are controlled by a divine charioteer. This dense cluster of intensely symbolic, cosmological quaternities merges naturally with the image of the Cross. The coincidence of the four-lettered name of the primal Man, Adam - as a subject of cosmological, symbolic interpretation - with the fact that the Tetragrammaton has four letters, lends support to the Christian reinterpretation of these themes in the light of the Incarnation: Adam= YHWH. The solar deity and quadriga of the four elements or Evangelists at the center of the Zodiac represent Christ, or, for Jews, Ezekiel's chariot with Michael. The mystical journey from the earth of a heliocentric system to it is progress from the outside towards the center, and a descent: perhaps this is one of several reasons an early description of the mystic's ecstasy was called in Hebrew yeridah la-merkavah, descent into the chariot." @default.
