Merkaba has ancient roots. Even sacred texts like the those in the Bible describe it being seen in visions, such as those seen by Ezekiel. There is a reference to him seeing four cherubim riding a chariot, but the word used is merkaba. In other places, it is referred to as the moving throne of God. Jewish mystic books include references to the merkaba (Yetzirah) and always speak of it as being a highly powerful and mystical construct.
The Chassidic Jewish take on the merkaba places a great depth to its meaning. It refers to taking a multidimensional approach to human nature, the environment, and Reality. To them, this symbol is a reminder to contemplate on becoming a better person.
