Cheetahs can represent speed, energy, power, gracefulness, and beauty. This animal is the fastest among the land animals. It is a symbol of strength and independence.
In general, it can mean that someone is in a hurry or trying to accomplish something without thinking about the possible dangerous consequences.
It may also represent that one is taking on too much at a given time, rushing from one thing to another. It might also be a warning not to underestimate an opponent or look down on others.
Biblical Symbolisms Of Cheetah In Dream
Hidden Knowledge
According to Eastern philosophy, cheetahs symbolize hidden knowledge that can be learned by people willing to walk the spiritual path. This animal has an excellent ability to control speed. It uses this ability when it needs to kill its prey.
However, not all humans can use their God-given abilities because they do not have the willpower or motivation. In other words, they do not have the hidden knowledge to control their true self.
Jewish Tribe Called As Cheetah
In Israel, a tribe called Q’rania has links with cheetahs. According to one legend, the residents of this tribe descended from a young man who a cheetah adopted.
Since then, the tribe has been known as Q’rania. In another legend attributed to this tribe, it is said that Moses helped them from being slaves of pharaohs during his time.
However, the most popular story that links with Q’rania is that a hunter chased a cheetah one day. The cheetah ran to the tribe’s settlement and asked for help from them.
All the members of this tribe turned into cheetahs, thus, protecting themselves from being hunted by that hunter.
Cheetah As A Worship Of Sun God
It is believed that before Islam was introduced in Arabia, people usually worshiped the cheetah as a symbol of the sun god. Even today, there is an Islamic tradition of offering prayer before the picture or figurine of the animal.
However, it can be concluded that this practice has nothing to do with Islam, and it comes from the pagan belief that associates this animal with sun god.
Black Shaped Cheetah
According to Jewish folklore, cheetahs have black-colored skin impervious to the sun. There is also another story about how it can be tamed by those who wear a special belt around their waist and walk with its tail over their shoulder.
The animal cannot harm the wearer of this belt because it feels as if its tail is on fire, and its pain is transferred to the cheetah’s body.
Cheetah As A Symbol Of Love & Gracefulness
Cheetah can represent love and gracefulness because of its slender and graceful figure. It has a pretty face similar to human beings, unlike other animals such as donkeys, sheep, cows, horses, camels, wolves, wild cats, etc.
Cheetah As A Symbol Of Aspirations And Achievements
It is believed that cheetahs can represent someone who has very high aspirations and achievements in life. However, it would be better to control their desire because achieving something is meaningless when this person harms others in the process.
Cheetah As An Animal Of God
The cheetah is not regarded as an evil animal that represents the devil. It is rather an animal of god, i.e., God created this animal with special abilities to kill its prey faster than any other animal. However, it can be tamed very easily because it does not have a strong instinct to attack human beings.
Cheetah As A Symbol Of Machinery And Technology
Today, cheetahs are often used to symbolize machinery and technology because they are the most advanced animals created by God with special abilities to travel long distances quickly. Scientists have also learned how this animal can run fast without tiring quickly.
Cheetah As A Symbol Of High Quality And Class
Cheetahs are considered the highest quality animals by hunters because they are very rare to find in the wild due to their extremely fast speed.
This animal also stands on two legs when hunting its prey which makes it look like a human being. That is why hunters regard it as a very classy animal and spend all their money to hunt.
Cheetahs As A Symbol Of Autism And Sociopaths
A Cheetah is not considered an evil animal by man, but some people regard it as evil because of its lack of control over its instinct. The majority of these people are the parents of autistic children.
Most autistic children are being treated with cheetah pictures by some parents whose children have this disease because they believe that it will cure their children of autism.
However, scientists do not acknowledge any scientific proof which says that animal pictures can be used to treat illnesses in humans.
Cheetah As A Symbol Of Aggression And Violence
Cheetahs are aggressive animals by nature. Most cheetah attacks on humans result in fatalities because this animal is so fast that it cannot be seen when attacking. That is why people see it as an evil animal with violence inside its heart.
Cheetah As A Symbol Of Elegance, Gracefulness & Style
This animal is extremely graceful and elegant. Most cheetahs have black skin, making them stand out from other animals easily, especially at night or during dawn or dusk. Therefore, cheetahs can be used as a symbol to represent these three things: elegance, gracefulness, and style.
Common Dreams About Cheetah
Being Chased By A Cheetah
People who are fast enough to escape from a cheetah will not be harmed by it, but those too slow to run away from its attack will end up in fatalities. This is similar to how God sees people when they sin against Him.
He entirely created us and gave us everything we needed; however, if we try to sin against Him, He will not just laugh at us if we can escape from His punishment. Rather, He will punish us severely because that is the only way to our salvation!
Being A Cheetah
People who are fast enough to catch their prey will benefit greatly; however, those too slow to catch them will end up with nothing. This is also true in the spiritual life of Christians.
If we are not faithful enough to catch God’s blessings, e.g., by praying for others or doing charity work, our effort will be useless.
Stalking A Cheetah
God desires that people should seek Him, just like a cheetah wants his prey to be aware of its presence so that it can catch them easily.
If the normal instinct of human beings is changed, e.g., God gives people too much confidence or pride, or they focus so much on their own life instead of focusing on Him, they will end up with a terrible ending.
Freeing A Cheetah
This symbolizes the human race is freed from Satan’s control. The only way for us to be saved is to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, who sacrificed His one and only son on the cross for us so that we can live forever with Him in Heaven after we die.
Hunting A Cheetah
When someone hunts a cheetah, it symbolizes that person fulfilling their hunting passion. This symbolizes victory over Satan (e.g., becoming more spiritual) or achieving something challenging fighting corruption in politics.
