The Bible describes eyes as crucial windows to the soul, reflecting one's spiritual condition, with "healthy" eyes bringing light and "bad" eyes bringing darkness, influencing one's whole being and focus on God versus worldly things (Matthew 6:22-23). Eyes symbolize perception, focus, and desire, guiding believers to "fix their eyes on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2) and avoid lust or worthless things (Job 31:1, Psalm 119:37). God also has eyes, watching over the righteous and providing help.
For Jesus, the eye becomes an image related to either generosity or stinginess. The sincere or good eye represents a generous person who imitates God's generosity to others, while the bad eye symbolizes a self-consumed person who takes instead of gives and neglects the needs of others.
Matthew 6:22-23
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
The lust of the eyes subtly draws us away from the Word of God and eats away at our confidence in Him. We see what the world has to offer and desire it above our relationship with God. We begin to place more credence in our perspective of life than in God's plans and promises.
Protection: Eyes can symbolize watchfulness and approval. They are used to ward off bad luck and protect from harm. The Eye of God, Osiris, or Providence is a symbol representing divine protection, watchfulness, and support.

Jeremiah 33:3 is a powerful promise from God, often quoted as: "Call to me, and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known" (ESV), or "Call to me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" (NIV/NASB). The verse encourages prayer, promising that when people call out to God, He will respond not just with answers, but with profound revelations and understanding beyond human comprehension, especially during difficult times.
Ephesians 4:32 encourages believers to be kind, compassionate, and forgiving to one another, modeling their actions after how God, through Christ, forgave them. It's a call to put away bitterness, anger, and malice (mentioned in the preceding verse) and instead live with a loving, tender-hearted attitude, extending grace and forgiveness freely as they have received it.
“The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter – often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter – in the eye.” “The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart. “
Test Dreams and Visions Against the Word
If a dream or vision tries to convince you of something contrary to the Word of God, it is not from the Lord. He will never contradict His Word. First Peter 1:25 promises that “the word of the Lord endureth for ever” (KJV). It will never change or become irrelevant.
