Introdution
The following pages contain a glossary of the figurative terms found in various versions of the Holy Bible along with their literal interpretations as found in the Christian scriptures. Usually the scripture verses adequately define themselves so as no commentary is required. In some cases, especially with prime words, the author has added his own comments in order to attempt to make the term as understandable as possible. The basic principle that, if the word’s literal definition cannot be found in the canonized Bible then it must be considered a prime word, must be remembered when using this dictionary. If a word cannot be found in this glossary the, as least until someone does find that word’s literal definition, researcher must accept the English dictionary definition for that tem; as unacceptable as that may be. This dictionary is meant to be used as a study tool. It is hoped that you will look up the terms presented in your Bible so you can begin to know the full meaning of the words Scriptures contain.
Dictionary Code
The directory below was developed to help readers quickly decipher the definitions used in the Prophets’ Dictionary which follows. It is suggested that a few moments be taken to become familiar with these codes so as the greatest benefit can be obtained from the information given in the next few pages. The code was developed to help abbreviate the mass of information which has been accumulated by the author and his students during over twenty years of research without burdening the reader with rereading the same information over and over. Thus, just as Scripture locations are commonly listed as GEN 1:2, which means The Book in the Bible entitled Genesis, chapter one, verse two; as also do these codes eliminate many otherwise redundant words without losing the meaning.
(In the 2016 edition of this book this code was revised due to the advent of advanced computer technologies, making it possible to have better typesetting capabilities. If you have used a previous edition of this work and are now using this electronic edition you will want to take a few minutes to see the changes in this dictionary code to know how to best do research with the knowledge presented here. Some of the changes are significant. Also, for quick reference we have added a quick word search list at the back of this book, in an appendex, which lists only the figurative, scriptural word and its alliterative definition. This has been added for quick reference, but once you find the interpolation of the word you question if you want to know the scripture supporting the “translation” or other information, click on the literal word and it will automatically take you to the standardized dictionary entry.)
a(Scripture) = this scripture shows the antonym a(opposite) meaning of the word being defined.
ACE – Acronyms show resource information; see Bibliography for complete list (viz.: KJV). Generally, Bible books are shown by the first three letters in that book’s title (i.e.: GEN = Genesis; 1PE=First Peter), however since there are repetitions to the use of letters some creativity had to be used in this rule. A complete list of the Holy Bible book titles’ acronyms can be found listed with the Reference Bibliography called, Bible Book Titles, Assigned Reference Acronyms at the end of this book. These acronyms can also be used in other parts of the book to make reference to general resource citings like research tools and evidence/comments. These acronyms were developed to assist the researcher in the technological age to be able to make quick reference to information resources without the burden of footnotes and standard bibliographies. The source reference can be found by searching for that acronym in the Reference Bibliography.
A double line is used to separate words to be defined.
===Prime Word=== This asterisk, used mainly in text printing, shows the use of a prime-word which is recognized as seeming to need interpreting but which is actually self-defining. It is placed by prime-words to let the reader know that the possibility of a word needing interpreted was noted.
Bold typed words = literal words and/or phrases as defined by this dictionary.
[brackets] + Scriptures fall between these brackets unless a short quote landing inside a commentary in which regular quotation marks are used. Note: type style of print indicates the version of Scripture being quoted.
c(Scripture word) = this Scripture denotes one of the c(I am’s) of Christ.
cword = this is a word of clife which Jesus identifies himself as being.
(cS.S.) or (cX.X.X.) + gives credit to the contributor of a definition by that person’s initials unless that person’s work has been published wherein such work is cited as is normally done throughout this text.
d(Scripture word) = This Scripture gives a direct defintion; (i.s.: d[this IS that])
- Scripture plus double dash shows reference location of Scripture/s supporting statements made in text of material.
+Doctrinal Word+ The word being defined is a basic Christian doctrinal word and not found in Scriptures.
i(Scripture word) = this Scripture shows an indirect definition. 1[“This”, along with several other words which may or may not have relevance to the definition of “this” means something similar to it, and the word that may not be used at all but in a logical way the word that can be deduced.]
Numbers: 1. Bold word
2. second word = used when there is more than one definition.
p(Scripture word) = this Scripture has a parallelism definition, showing two closely related terms in a comparison relationship.
See: (Scripture) This indicates other words which one may want to look up in the Prophets’ Dictionary which can help better explain the word originally looked up.
Word/distinguishing = this slash, usually not underlined, indicates that they word following the slash refines the meaning of the word in front of the slash. Thus the word here is not just any word but a “distinguishing word”, or a word which can be set apart as being different or more precise than if the word stood alone.
Regency type = author’s commentary.
SCRIPT type = quotations for the New International Version of the Bible (used by permission).
“quotation” = quotation marks are used normally within NIV quotes or within the author’s commentary.
(viz.: Word = another word = third word) = several interlinking synonymous words within a definite relationship.
Underlined Type are quotations from the King James (Authorized) Version of the Scriptures used in determining the prophetic definitions; however scriptual quotes are not all underlined to prevent typesetting overload.

adultery: idolatry
d{and WITH their idols THEY HAVE committed adultery] – EZE 23:37; [Thou hast also taken the fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them]—EZE 16:17; (see: JER 2:8; & EZE 16:1-63) ; (see also: fornication; whore).
*** Ά & Ω ***
anoint: unite in joy;
(Note: Since ointment is unity, and since oil is joy, then to anoint is to unite in joy.) (see also: ointment; oil.)
*** Ά & Ω ***
angel/God’s: ministering spirits;
d[But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? ARE they not ALL ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?] – HEB 1:13-14; d[Who MAKETH his angels spirits] – PSA 104:4; (see also: spirit, demon). (Note: There is a specification given here for the type of spirit; distinguishing between God’s spirits and those of Satan. Here the reference is to God’s (1053) angels which is defined as ministering spirits which, though they were once among these created beings, have since been cast out of Heaven and now serve Satan—JUD 6; REV 12:7. Thus though all angels are spirits and spirits are angels, not all angels are necessarily ministering spirits. They could be Satan’s fallen angels which spirits are committed to the devil and thus are mankind’s adversaries – 1PT 5:8 (cE.T.). In general a person can distinguish these two groups of opposing angels/spirits in Scripture by whom they serve; God or Satan.); (see also demon; devil; Satan; spirit.)
*** Ά & Ω ***
antichrist; deceiver
p[For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus is com in the flesh. This is a deceiver AND an antichrist.] –2JO 7; [Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He IS antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.]—1JO 2:22; [And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is com in the flesh is not of God: And this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even no already is it in the world.]—1JO 4:3 (se also: Antichrist; Christ; Messiah).
*******
antichrist:
=DOCTRINAL WORD=
(Note: Christian doctrinal word not found in Scriptures in other than its general sense indicating a personage who in the “end time” will establish himself as the Judaic Messiah and who will be accepted worldwide as an international leader. There is much confusion concerning this term in as much as not everyone agrees that this person must be of Jewish descent, or even that the Jews will have anything to do with him other than being the instruments of God to eradicate him and his followers from the Earth. Others believe that the whole Jewish nation, since they do not believe in Jesus as their Messiah, is figuratively this Antichirst. This term has been attached to numerous famous public figures including the seat of the Bishops of Rome—the “papacy” as well as some of the Popes themselves, Martin Luther, Adolf Hitler, the Rockefeller family, Vladimir Lenin and others; however, though it cannot be said that the verdict is in on all of these families or groups, the evidence tends to refute the idea of anyone yet having ever accurately pinned the label of “Antichrist” on anyone. The basis of this word comes from both the general word “antichrist”, which means “deceiver” as defined by the Apostle John, and Second Thessalonians where the Apostle Paul warns the Thessalonians to [Let no man deceive you by any means: For that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.] -2TH 2:3-5
This person who is presumed to be a world leader due to well established doctrine backed up by numerous Scriptures – REV 13:11-18; 2TH 2:4; 1JO 2:18- becomes accepted not only as the world “emperor”, but will by necessity of prophecy, be a Jew who will fulfill their ideal of a longed awaited Messiah. This final great delusion leads mankind toward a great epoch where the only way for any of the believers of the true Messiah to survive will be by an invasion of the Earth by the forces of Heaven lead by Jesus Christ himself. – REV 19:9-21); (see:ISA 65:8-9; ZED 14:1-4; MAT 24:21-31); (see also: Christ; Messiah; Jew).

apostle; witness of Christ’s resurrection
d[Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us., beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us OF his (Christ’s) resurrection… that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship…] – ACT 1:12-22 & 25; (Note: Ones chosen by Jesus from among his multitude of disciples to serve as vocal witnesses as to his resurrection—LUK 6:13. It was meant to be the permanent position of the authority in the Church – 1CO 12:28; but which has long since disappeared along with the office of prophet being replaced largely by business managers of denominations and some other offices – i.e.: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ Prophet, the Catholic Pope. It is the first of what is commonly called the “Fivefold Ministry” which is listed by Paul as being apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers – EPH 4:11. Peter, James and John were noted by Paul to be “pillars or shall it be said, heads of the apostles – GAL 2:9. Although there are some denominations and independent churches who believe that there are current day apostles and/or prophets a warning is strongly given to not follow false apostles – REV 2:2; thus considerable care must be given in testing who a professing apostle claims to be following – 1JO 4:1).

These “beasts” often were shown to have several smaller kingdoms within these by the fact of the number of horns that a beast had. When the angel, Gabriel, interpreted one of the dreams which Daniel had the different types of animals (beasts) which Daniel had seen in his dream became major historical nations – DAN 9:20-21. And Peter’s vision of the knitted sheet descending upon him which had “all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and and wild beast, and creeping thins, and fowls or the air” on it became a pronounce-ment that he must go out and proclaim the gospel of Christ to not only the Jews, but the Gentile nations also when he said, “of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him”—ACT 10:11-35.); (see also: horn; king).

And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.]—MAT 15:14; a[…and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and darkness.]-ISA 29:18; (Note: Since blindness is speaking of a person’s eyes, and since eyes figuratively means spirit, then the literal meaning of the word blindness is the “inability to see spiritually.”); (see also: eye).

i[…These bones ARE the whole house of Israel]—EZE 37:11; (note: Though this scripture specifies Israel, it is conceivable that other bones in some other field could be of some other tribe or nation; thus the primary definition of “bones” being “people” in general and not confined solely to those of Israel alone.)

*** Ά & Ω ***
branch: 1. Servant [I will bring forth my servant, the branch.]—ZEC 3:8; 6:12; (Note: The idea of a servant being a branch off of a larger unit (tree, vine) is indirectly referred to by Paul when he talks of the parable of the olive tree. The branch which was to come, talked of in prophecy, was Jesus. However, as seen below, Jesus, the branch, later grew through his followers to be quite large indeed.—ROM 11:15-26).
2. Believers; i[I am the vine, ye (the believers) are the branches] – JON 15:; (Note: Thus here Jesus becomes the branch which touched the earth and took root, making it possible for his followers to then become branches.); (see also: tree; vine).

cake/not turned: Ephraim;
d[…Ephraim IS a cake (not turned). – HOS 7:8 (Note: The “cake” spoken of here is like a current day pancake (hot-cake) which has been cooked only on one side and ready to turn over; thus the NIV translation of: d[Ephraim is a flat cake not turned over.]).

And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks.]—REV 1:11-12; (Note: The indication is that there was a turn in the way John perceived the things of the Universe after he had a personal encounter with the Christ. Thus when he “turned around” (NIV) and saw Jesus as he really was, that being the Christ, he saw everything differently, through spiritual eyes. A similar incident occurred to the blind man who Jesus healed who first saw “men as trees, walking”—MAR 8:24.)

*** Ά & Ω ***
cedar: Lebanon; Lebanonite;
d{…cedars OF Lebanon.] JUD 9:15; PSA 29:5; ISA 2:13; (Note: Since a cedar is a type of tree, and since a tree is figuratively representative of a person (viz.: “man” –MAR 8:24), then the phrase could be interpolated to say the “people (men) of Lebanon” or Lebanon’s citiaens: thus Lebanonites. The type of tree being cedar simply denotes that the people described are most usually thought of as being from that country or heritage called Lebanon.); (see also: tree).

Though this interpretation is bound to be controversial, the facts should not be overlooked when these chariots are described in the Scriptures without the influences of manmade doctrine.); (see: EZE 1:4-28); (see also: cherub; cloud).
- *** Ά & Ω ***
Cherub:
===PRIME Word===
[He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coal of fire. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them, and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.] –PSA 18:5-14; (Note: Although this whole passage is obviously in figurative language, the fact remains that the “cherub” or flying angel which the Lord rode from the “dark waters… of the skies” can relate to the citings of unidentified flying objects in the skies today; the plural is probably cherubim); (see EZE ch. 1 & 10); (see also: cloud; whirlwind).

(Note: Clouds could be deduced to mean a massive gathering of people since they are usually made up of water and water means people. Thus the chariot could be a cloud of people which carries the Spirit of God. However such a definition was not found in Scripture and thus disallowed as, a possible definition.)
*** Ά & Ω ***
cloud/without water; ungodly men;
d,a[For there are certain men crept in unawares,… ungodly men….clouds THEY ARE without water]—JUD 4&12; (Note: Since clouds are usually made up of water, which prophetically means people, this negative definition is showing that the ungodly men who had crept into the church and teaching falso doctrines were actually but wisps of nothingness: ones who though looking like real people were actually quite artificial. The difficulty in understanding this definition comes from the extensive use of the prophetic – figurative language by Jesus. It may be easier to read verse twelve already interpreted:
“…ungodly men they are without people, carried about of prophets, people whose righteousness withereth, without righteousness, twice dead, pluckup by the fathers;”—LAV)

d[…crown OF glory] –PRO 4:9; 16:31; ISA 28:5; 1PE 5:4; (see: JER 13:18); (Note: These three words interrelate in as much as a “crown of glory” indicates ownership of “riches” and power; and to God, the most glorious riches possible is existence, life, proven by it being the promised gift to anyone who accepts his son—JON 3:16; however the full understanding of this word “crown” can be obtained only by those to who God reveals it: i[Even the MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this MYSTERY among the Gentiles: WHICH IS Christ in you, the hope of glory.] – COL 1:26-27. A more complete explanation of what is meant here is given by Jesus in the book of John, chapters 14-16; however, only those who have the Holy Spirit of God living within them are fully aware of the true meaning of having been given a “crown of life” with all its “riches” and “glory”.); (see also: life).

daughter:
*** Ά & Ω ***
city/descendant;
Since a daughter literally is a female descendent of a man and woman; then spiritually, since a woman is a city and a man can be said to be representative of a nation, then a daughter can be said to be representative of a city which was built by the united efforts of both a nation and a city. Thus we find in Scripture phrases like: “daughter of Zion”; “daughter of Babylon”; “daughter of the Chaldeans”, etc. (See also: daughter of (city name), man, woman.
*** Ά & Ω ***
Daughter/of Zion: City of Jerusalem
p[…He shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.]- ISA 10:32; p[On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ….And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon: as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: Behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.]-JOH 12:12, 14; (see: ZEC 9:9; 2KI 19:21, ISA 37:22; {Note: “Sion” is simply another spelling for “Zion”.) (see also Zion}

- one thousand years
(historical reference) thousand years. d[…One day IS with the Lord AS a thousand years, and a thousand years AS a day.]—2PE 3:8; (Note: This reference is often disputed as meaning a literal millennium because of the fact that it is shown to be a two way definition; that is, not only does 1 day = 1000 years, but also 1000 years = 1 day. Thus many commentators say that this verse shows the irrelevancy of time to God. Though this statement is true –see point three in this entry-the fact is hard to deny that a figurative day equals 1000 years literally when we look at historical prophecy. Viz.: Hosea prophecied. {Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.]- HOS 6:1-
2. This correlates precisely with the period of two-thousand years of time where the Jews have been “torn” away from the Truth, that being that Jesus IS the Christ, which is now drawing to a close. Though we still see multitudes of Jews who are opposed to the acceptance of Jesus as their Messiah, groups like the “Jews for Jesus”, and others whose mission is specifically to the Jews are reaching and converting more of “God’s chosen people” to Christ than ever in history since the early Church. This does not discount the fact that the Antichrist will come from the Jewish people; but only shows that there is definitely a standard being established by the Spirit of the Lord against this false Messiah that Satan is establishing—ISA 59:19); (see also: Antichrist; Messiah).
3. eternity
I[For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.}- PSA 90:4; (Note: This verse taken along with 2PE 3:8 is taken to indicate that time to God is eternal and irrelevant. Though this may be true, it is important to understand that this particular verse puts the events of a thousand years being as a short time in the past and does not mention the future. Thus it could be said that when speaking of the past in the sight of God time is but a fleeting thin; but when speaking of the future, or recorded time for the benefit of man it takes on both historical and/or prophetic significance.)
*** Ά & Ω ***
dead/physically;
==PRIME WORD==
(Note: The body without life entirely. a[God is not the god of the dead, but of the living.} –MAT 22:3; thus the soul is asleep because the spirit which gave it life has been separated from it’s body –GEN 2:7; JON 6:63; ACT 7:59. The dead cannot praise God – PSA 115:17. A “living dog” or literally “living wicked person” is more useful than a dead “lion” or Jew, or believer, to God; the reason is that for the ones yet alive there is yet still hope, but for the dead there is no hope –ECC 9:4; (see also grave; life; resurrection; sleep; soul).
dead/spiritually:
==PRIME WORD==
(Note: The initial cutting off of the Spirit from the body causing the body to begin to age, decay and eventually be destroyed in death – GEN 2:17, described well by David when once he was ill and feared he was dying for some unknown sin: {O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: Oh save me for they mercies sake. For in death there is no remembrance of Thee: In the grave who shall give Thee thanks? I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies…] – PSA 6: 1-8. The face that mankind’s separation from God due to his sin does not cause immediate death, but instead causes a slow process of deterioration which leads to death, indicates that there is a “residue” of spirit, called the “spirit of man” by some theologians – ROM 8:16, which sustains a person until it becomes too weak to operate the bodily functions. Thus we see mankind age steadily decreasing throughout the first three millennia after Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden. However, true to the warning God gave them, since they chose not to trust God neither they nor their descendents have lived to be more than one prophetic day old, that is over one-thousand years old literally, while still on this planet – GEN:2:17. If a body is separated from the source of Spirit due to sin, and thus is unable to be regenerated, it is commonly called “spiritually dead”.; (see also: day; death; grave; sin).

Referred to as “sleep: prophetically – MAT 9:24; MAR 5:39; LUK 8:52; JOH 11:11-14. The process of destruction of the physical body—JOB 28:22; which causes a person to be unable to remember God – PSA 6:5.

d[For to be carnally minded IS death: But to be spiritually minded is life and peace.]—ROM 8:6. (Note: The act of deciding not to trust the Word of God, thus separating the literal body from the source of Spirit – GEN 2 16-17, 3:1-24; causing it to be required to draw from its remaining reservoir of spirit until there’s no more to draw upon; requiring them to become dependent upon the ground for their sustenance and life energies- GEN 3:17-19, resulting in physical death.”; (see ROM 5:12; 6:23;7:5); (see also: dead/physical/spiritual; death/physical; life; resurrection).
*** Ά & Ω ***
death/second:
==PRIME WORD==
(Note: The final process of separation of the Spirit from the resurrected body of the unbeliever which results in the “everlasting destruction: which Jesus described as the killing of “both the soul and the body in hell (the grave)” –MAT 10:28; 1TH 1:9. Since the Spirit after the second death never again reunites with a body then that particular soul, never regains its ability to “awaken” from its “sleep: and thus goes into oblivion. Jesus explained this as follows: [Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.] –MAT 5:15; MAR 4:21; LUK 8:16. When a light is turned on in a room it lights up the whole room- except possibly for shadows. Where does the darkness go? No one knows. It is somehow engulfed by the light—MAR 5:14 – would be cast into outer darkness: which figuratively is saying “outer death” or “outer destruction”—MAT 8:12; 22:13; 25:30. Since LIGHT=LIFE and since DARKNESS=DEATH=DESTRUCTION then the only logical conclusion to be drawn is that those experiencing the “second death” will never again see life.); (see also: darkness; dead/physical/spiritual; death/physical/spiritual; life/physical/spiritual; light; sleep; soul).

Devil:
==PRIME WORD==
(Note: A reference to Satan when preceded by the English word “the: (…The angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day]—JUD 6. These are called devils (interpreted from the Greek as “demons” – ARV and “evil spirits” –NIV) and were driven to Earth during the battle between Michael and Satan nearly two millennia ago –REV 12:7-9 & 12. In following their leader, Satan, they attempt to posses people’s bodies that they might better influence mankind toward Satanic says (via their doctrines—ITI 4:1); but while doing so their powers are so great that they often find it difficult to control the body and thus a seizure, or sorts, is inflicted upon the person whose body is being possessed – MAT 4:24; 8:16, 28, 33; MAR 1:32; LUK 4:41; 8:2, 36. However, these demon caused “seizures” should never be confused with those having a medical, physiological origin, such as epilepsy. Devils are subject to the authority of Jesus and must obey anyone who is called of Christ who have this “gift” of casting out demons as long as it is done only in the name of Jesus—MAR 9:38-40; 16:17; LUK 9:1 & 49-50; 10:17; JAM 2:19. They have been and are worshipped in place of God – LEV 17:7; DEU 32:17; 1CH 11:15; PSA 106:37.

2. Egypt;
(Note: This word could also be interpreted as nation sice it describes a “beast”; in fact it is the last beast in Daniel’s prophecy of the four beasts (DAN 7). However, the Scriptures here specifically interpret the word “dragon” as being Satan (REV 12:9; 20:2). Thus the last nation in Daniel’s series of nations is Satan; that is, Satan is the name Scripture gives to this nation. Prophetically it shows a nation of great population-watery-and of massive land size- monstrous. Definition shows that the word “dragon” also means Egypt: viz.: r[…Pharoh King of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers….]—EZE 29:3. Though this does not seem to fit well into Bible prophecy, one must remember that during the time that Christ was on Earth, Egypt was ruled by Rome. Even the shape of the land mass of the Roman Empire strangely resembles that of a dragon attempting to swallow its own tail. Most certainly one can see the symbolism of the serpentine trail of the Nile river in Egypt. However, since the word “Egypt” does not fit the prerequisite of “making sense in all instances where the defined word is interpolated”, because Egypt was not, when The Revelation was written, and has not since been a world power for the interpretation of Scripture but rather it has been subjugated to other greater powers viz.: Rome. The word “Rome” cannot be used because there is no reference given to it as actually being the dragon in canonized Scripture. Thus the spiritualized word “Satan” must maintain preference when interpolating the prophetic language. However, when attempting to correlate prophecy with history it is important to keep these facts in mind.); (viz.: DRAGON=SATAN=ROME or EGYPT); (see also: beast; Satan).

r[And the slain of the lord SHALL BE at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;…dung upon the ground.]—JER 25:33; (see: JER 8:2; 16:4). Note: The only time this was as having occurred in the Bible was when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus and Jesus identified himself as the one they were looking for. At that moment the soldiers “went backward and fell to the ground.”—MAT 18:6. However, evidently they were not dead for they went ahead and did their deadly duty of arresting the Christ. There are parts of the church which have gained a practice of seeking the gift of the Holy Spirit until they collapse and fall backward, allowing someone to ease them to the floor; this they call being “slayed in the Spirit.” Although authenticity cannot be made as to its origin being of God, it is important to note that the only time that the term is used in Scripture is toward the Lord’s enemies; and then he says they are as “dung”. Perhaps the churches practicing this should reconsider this practice in the light of Scripture; or at least consider renaming it.)

hell: 1. grave; “Hades”; “sheol”;
2.second death; “geenna”;
3.spiritual prison; “tartaroo”
i{They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword….The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. Asshur is there and and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave….]-EZE 32:20-23; 1[…when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit *grave….]-EZE 31:16—KJV;
i[…when I brought it down to the grave with those who go down to the pit.] – EZE 31:16—NIV; (Note: The word translated into the word “hell” in the KJV is usually translated “grave” in the NIV, in the Old Testament. The reason for this is that is what the Hebrew word “sheol” literally means in English as can be shown by the definition shown in Strong’s Concordance—hcd 7585, “grave, hell, pit”. The same is true for the Greek word “Hades”—which means literally, “grave, hell” according to Strong’s gdt 86. She:ol can be best understood when seen in the Psalms where, in verse 6:5 David says: “For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?”; “…let them be silent in the grave.”—31:17; and Heman the Ezrahite said, “Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. Shall they lovingkindness be declared in the grave or thy faithfulness in destruction? Shall they wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?”—88:10-12. The word used here interpreted by the translators of the KJV is the same word, sheol, hell, grave, when used in this way means simply the state of the dead without their source of Spirit. No other term was interpreted to mean hell from the Old Testament Hebrew; however the New Testament Greek shows two more words besides Hades which too was interpreted as the grave. One of these was “geenna”—which Strong’s defines as being the “valley of (the son of) Hinnom; gehenna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerus, used (fig.) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment :-hell.”—gdt 1067. Being used only eleven times in the New Testament this word shows the place of eternal torment which most Christians today consider to be the place of eternal punishment where one goes after physical death; however Jesus seems to have said something quite different when he said to “fear not them which kill the body” and place it in the grave “but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (geenna).”—MAT 10:28; LUK 12:5. Here is the fire of eternal destruction thought by so many to be the fate of the wicked immediately after death; but the Apostle James said that this hell was not to be found in the grave but rather “the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell (geenna).”—JAM 3:6. It will be what people say and do which will determine if they will enter this eternal punishment which will be judged after the person’s death—HEB 9:27, and even this is not to be where the one punished is conscious through-out eternity as many teach; instead it is a punishment unto eternal destruction—PHL 3:19; 2TH 1:9, never to live—JOH 3:36. Finally the Apostle Peter used the Greek word “tartaroo” which Strong’s defines as being “to incarcerate in eternal torment: cast down to hell”-gdt 5020; which he mentions to be done with the fallen angels—PET 2:4, and which is implied to be done in the future with Satan—REV 20:2. The word used here must therefore be determined by the original Greek word used. In The Revelation it is always in reference to the grave.); (See: Lesson 12.23.3 “Is Hell Eternal?); (See also: death; life; second death).

jasper/stone: Judah/ Tribe of
p[Although the jasper was the last stone on the double breastplate of the priest of Israel—EXO 39:13, the name engraved on it was surely that of Judah. The reason for this is as a partial fulfillment of the prophecy given by Jesus that “many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first” –MAT 19:30. The recognition of this fulfillment comes not only in the fact that Jesus was of Jewish descent—MAT 1:1-2; LUK 3:21-33, and was recognized by his own brother, the Apostle James, as “a kind of first fruits of his creatures” –JAM 1:18, and by Paul – 1CO 15:20-23; but also in the prophetic fulfillment that Judah is found listed first in John’s listing of tribes in The Revelation—REV 7:5, and the jasper stone is found to be the first foundation of the New Jerusalem—REV 21:19.)

Most of the Psalms were written by him and one of the most important duties which the Lord appointed him to do was to assign to the Levites to appoint certain ones to be singers and musicians—1CH 15:15-18. It should be easily recognizable that music, and poetry, have a language of their own.
However, poet’s use of the words are far different than those same words when they are found in Scripture; but by reading a poem one can understand that the main topic of a poem is not so much “Sunshine and Rain” as it is “pleasure and pain”, a poet simple uses these other things to describe emotional sensations. The parallelisms define a poet’s use of these words even as has been described in this book as having been done throughout the Holy Bible. The same is true of songs. However the songs which were to be sung by the musicians which David had appointed were all written in the Prophetic Language which knowledge or key to understanding evidently David had.)

resurrection:
===PRIME WORD===
(Note: The reuniting of the spirit of man with a physical body; however, this time instead of the physical body seemingly taking the prime importance in the person’s being, it is the spiritual part of the being which is most influential and thus is in the rulership position in the person’s life. -1CO 15:42-43. However, the people who do not know Christ at the time of physical death are not promised this future resurrection into the perfection where the Spirit rules. Instead are they told that they will resurrect into another life of corruption where once again their bodies will lead them to the grave as they did during the unbelievers first lives. –JOH 2:18. In fact, Flavius Josephus, supposed Bishop of Jerusalem, claimed “that we have not rashly believed the resurrection of the body; for although it be dissolved for a time on account of the original transgression, it exists still, and is cast into the earth as into a potter’s furnace, in order to be formed again, not in order to rise again such as it was before, but in a state of purity, and so as never to be destroyed any more: and to every body shall its own soul be restored; and when it hath clothed itself with that body, it will not be subject to misery, but itself pure, it will continue with its pure body, and rejoice with it, with which it having walked righteously now in this world, and never having had it as a snare, it will receive it again with great gladness; but as for the unjust, they will receive their bodies not changed, not freed diseases or distempers, not made glorious, but with the same diseases wherein they died; and such as they were in their unbelief, the same shall they be when they shall be faithfully judged.” –WOJ;dch:5. Thus, if Josephus’ description is accurate, can be seen the case where “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement.”—HEB 9:27. If a person dies to the lifestyle of this world, the spirit of it, and accepts the spiritual lifestyle of Christ and his salvation then shall he be made alive through that spirit even unto eternal life; but if a person first dies a physical death without ever having known Christ and having experienced a death to this world, and the resurrection comes to those who have slept in the graves, the unrepentant shall be easily seen for what they truly are. They shall return to the grave eternally as the ones who chose to trust Christ shall enter eternal life.)

(Note: Said to be the first stone in the priest’s breastplate –EXO 39:10; however, the tribe of Benjamin in The Revelation 21:20, as the last tribe to receive its seal of faith and the tribe of Judah to be the first, while the stone of Judah was said to be the last setting of the breastplate – EXO 39:13. Thus does this help explain the saying where Jesus said that “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and the sevant of all”—MAR 9:35. The Apostle Paul, who was of the tribe of Benjamin – ROM 11:1 and known as “an Hebrew of Hebrews”—PHL e:5, considered himself as being amongst the leadership of the Pharisees in his knowledge of the law who acted as a judge of the believers in Jesus as the Messiah –ACT 7:58; but later he said this position within the Isaraelie nation brought him to the position he held in the Church; not by his perfection, but instead by God’s grace –PHL 3:1-14.

spirit: angel; emotion/attitude
i(Note: Although all angels are spirits—PSA 104:4, not all spirits are good angels. Some spirits, which were numbered with God’s angles at one time but which Jude said “kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation”—JUD 6, are elsewhere called demons or devils. Spirits are often identified by the emotions which surrounds the person who perceives its presence: i.e.;
“spirit of wisdom”—EXO 28:3;
“spirit of jealousy”-NUM 5:14;
“an haughty spirit”-PRO 16:18;
“spirit of judgement” –ISA 4;44;
“spirit of wisdom and understanding”—ISA 11:2;
“spirit of council and might”—ISA 11:2.
“spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord”—ISA 11:2;
“Spirit of truth—JOH 14:17;
“spirit of devination” – ACT 16:16;
“spirit of holiness”—ROM 1:4;
“spirit of bondage”-ROM 8:15;
“spirit of adoption” –ROM 8:15;.
“spirit of error” –1JO 4:6
“spirit of prophecy” – REV 19:10;
The Apostle John said that Jesus told the woman in Samaria who gave a drink of water to the Lord that “God is a Spirit” – JOH 4:24; later John identified that spirit as being ‘agape’ love – 1JO 4:8, 16 which some scholars say was a term which did not exist before the time of the Christ’s walk on Earth. Strong’s Concordance defines this type of love as being ‘affection or benevolence…a love-feast:—(feast) of charity …dear, love’ Thus Jehovah God is said to be perfect, consistent, unconditional love. Thus, also, is the reason Scripture says that “No man hath seen God at any time” JOH 1:18, for except a spirit temporarily chooses to take on a physical form, they are invisible; something Jehovah has never decided to do but instead allows himself to be manifested through his only begotten son, Jesus—JOH 3:16; 1TI 3:16. In like manner is Satan a spirit which can be identified as “fear” of, that is “terror” due to the fact that Jesus, the Christ, the Spirit of Truth—JOH 14:6, cast out Satan, the King of Terrors—JOB 18:14, from Heaven and thus comes the statement by the Apostle John that “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love”—1JO 4:18. This then sets the Universal stage of the Spiritual battle which the churches have been attempting to teach about throughout the ages. However, quite different from the angels and demons being entities with physical form much the same as mankind’s; they are ethereal, usually without precise form, able to inflict themselves on people through their emotional influences. People, by their nature, will serve at least one of these beings; the one they choose to serve could mean the difference between eternal life and death.); (See also: angel).

tabernacle: human bodies;
i(Note: The word tabernacle is basically synonymous with temple as being a place of worship; however there is a difference whereas a tabernacle is basically mobile and made up of materials which are easily constructed and disassembled and which could be moved easily. A temple, on the other hand, was considered to be a place of worship which was built out of strong, heavy materials and which was not meant to be easily torn down or moved. The spiritual meanings of both these words could therefore be the same as being the human bodies of the Spirit; however one should be aware of the term used in the original language so as to know whether the term means a tabernacle which is mobile or one which cannot be moved. The body which can be moved is one which is growing, learning how to cope in its universe, viz: a body of believers, a church; however the one which cannot be moved is the one which has found the Truth which it has decided to base its life upon and, regardless the circumstances, cannot be moved from it.); (See also: temple).

throne: 1. Heaven:
d[Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne…] – ISA 66:1; (See: MAT 5:34; 23:22; (Note: The word “the” makes the term indicative of the highest Heaven and thus the term should be capitalized as meaning specifically God’s throne. Here is an interesting fact: Even as much as all the religions of the world indicates that the subterranean regions of Earth were the stronghold of evil as indicated in Scripture by the “bottomless pit”; so do they also represent the forces of good as coming from above. This, indicates that a least some of the “heavens” were above Earth’s atmosphere, or possible even were other planets since Job recorded that the Lord “walketh in the circuit of heaven” indicative of what Twentieth Century citizens of Earth would call space flight patterns. Thus the term “heavens” is indicative of the vast territory which modern people call the sky, reaching in all directions infinitely into space. However, when the term “the Heaven” is seen it indicates a specific location which seems to be beyond this physical pattern of space and somehow above it; probably via another dimension. This complex of dimensions proposes a seven dimensional Universe with the three dimensions commonly known to mankind: height, length and width; being overviewed by the commonly accepted, though unreal dimension of time. Intermingled with this dimension called time is a dimension of light and darkness which influences the physical dimension toward either construction of destruction. This supra-dimension called time will necessarily need to be circumvented by mankind if we are ever to find space travel feasible. “above this supra-dimension of time are two competing guiding forces called the Spirit of Agape Love and the Spirit of Absolute Fear. These two forces are at the same time both pulling mankind into unity with the Universal Kingdom of Heaven, or into eternal destruction. The Kingdom of Heaven, being full of light, draws mankind toward the stars of heaven; by crating curiosity within them, mankind dreams of reaching out to the stars. This spiritual kingdom of light, which represents truth, is the first heaven which Paul indicated existed when he wrote his second epistle to the Corinthians 12:2. In opposition to this is a Kingdom of Darkness wherein the fallen angels maintain influence over people to believe in so-called human limitations. The sixth dimension consists to two answers to the problem concerning how someone could travel throughout the Universe taking into account its vastness which scientists must measure in light-years. The first answer is the fact that since Jesus arose from the grave into eternal life and that all who accept this fact could also obtain eternal life; thus destroying the imaginary time barrier. However in opposition to this is the Spirit of Death which says that all of mankind; and once dead, always dead. Finally, the seventh dimension, the third heaven or Paradise as Paul called it –2CO 12:4, is that location called “the Heaven” in Scripture. This is the place from whence Jehovah rules. It is, in fact, Jehovah, God, himself. From here does all energy flow; and no thing which has life can obtain or maintain it without contact with this dimension. It is from here that pure light, pure life, pure love, pure energy flow; but in opposition to this is the “bottomless pit” wherein lies the source of lies, darkness, fear, and avoid of nothingness. These higher dimensions do not lie one above another such as space lies above the earth. Instead they are all intermingles one with the other three dimensions of man’s acknowledged Universe. Since when a void is opened to the atmosphere it instantly becomes filled with that atmosphere; it can be seen that the dark side of the spiritual universe is having light forced into it and quickly is being dissipated to someplace beyond mankind’s current comprehension outside of this sphere of the seven dimensional Universe God is completing. Once completed the whole Universe will be full of light, life and love eternally.); (See: 2.4.5. and Fig. 2.4.5

i[…And the Valley of Achor a place for the herds to life dlown in, for my people that have sought me.]-ISA 64:10; (cT.C.); (Note: This second definition is actually supportive of the first one inasmuch as, for the believer, to hope is to be in a place of rest; while for those of the world who try to consistently press upward and onward that same valley seems to be one of stagnation and depression.)

i[Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of the people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.]-EZE 33:1-9; (Note: Ezekiel was a prophet, thus the definition).
*** Ά & Ω ***

weed; son of the devil;
(See also: tare.)
*** Ά & Ω ***
week: seven years;
(Note: This is simply a prophetic day times seven, “Seventy Hebads” means seventy weeks of years in Hebrew – DAN 9. This is an important concept to comprehend since as it is used in both prophecy and historical writings in Scripture.); (See also: day).

whirlwind: chariots (of fire);
r[And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot (of fire), and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.]-2KI 2:11; (Note: This is possibly the most controversial definition to Twentieth Century Christians since it connotes that Elijah was carried away by some form of space-craft. Whether that craft was totally physical or spiritual or partially made up of both is never disclosed in Scriptures. A much come complete description of similar craft is given by Ezekiel –1:4-28. Here one reads in detail objects which artists depict to look very similar to those of the Twentieth Century “U.F.O.” Without a doubt they were objects of transportation and destruction as can be seen by the descriptions of them given by both Jeremiah -4:13, and Isaiah-66:15.) (See: 2KI 2:1; JER 30:23-24; NAH 1:3; and EZE 1:4-28 for detailed description). (See also: wing.)

i[And he rode a cherub, and did fly; yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.]-PSA 18:10; (Note: This term seems to be very similar to the term “whirlwind” which seems to describe a space vehicle of some sort.); (See also : whirlwind); (See: 2SA 22:11; REV 9:19); (See also; cherubim).

wolf/ravening: false prophet;

*** Ά & Ω ***
woman: 1. City
d[…the woman which thou sawest IS that great city…,]-REV 17:18; (Note: Many theologians claim that a woman denotes, also, a church. Though this is logically true since it can be found that most metropolitan cities have the roots or headquarters of one or more churches or denominations, the fact remains that Scripture defines the prophetic word “woman” as literally manning “city” withholding the term “church” for the figurative word “wife”. If logically considered this makes considerable sense. Since the Scriptures are concerned mainly with the joining of planet Earth with the heavens then it will only be those who are in the group of true followers who will make up that last city, or as Augustine described it, “society” which will become Christ’s bride and wife. If will be this society of believers who will make up the true Church. All other societies, or cities, though they may assume the name of a church or chruch denomination, will not be accepted by Christ as his bride. Thus is seen a pulling away from the hard stance denominationalism of the past tot eh uniting of Christians under the banner of Christ. The various societies, or cities of Christ of the past few centuries which have been so called denominations are finally uniting together to become the Bride/Wife of Christ instead of widespread societies of God.); (See also: wife; whore).
*** Ά & Ω ***
wood: people;
d[…Because ye speak this word, behold I WILL MAKE …this people wood….]-JER 5:14; (Note: This is a very logical depiction since the prophetic definition of the word “tree” is “man”.); (See also: tree).
*** Ά & Ω ***
wool: pureness;
r[…like the pure wool….]-DAN 7:9; (See: REV 1:14).
*** Ά & Ω ***
Wormwood: 1. bitterness;
d[But her end is bitter AS wormwood….]-PRO 5:4; i[And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters because they were bitter.]-REV 8:11; (Note: Amos 5:7 indicates that “wormwood” could be defined as being “judgement”; however this is an unusual case where the wording is instead meaning that the judgement has been turned into bitterness—the literal meaning of wormwood.)
Z
Zion: Bethlehem;
(Note: Although Jerusalem is often currently accepted as being Zion today, Scriptures seem to indicate that it was rather Bethlehem that was referred to as Zion originally. Second Samuel 4:7 records that “nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, the city of David” while Luke 2:4 records Joseph took Mary and they were counted in the census at “the city of David, which is called Bethlehem”. This correlation of the town of Christ’s birth, Bethlehem, with the city where David first settled after defeating a place call the “fortress of Zion” is a precise indication as to where Zion is. Mt. Zion, located north of the city of Zion/Bethlehem –PSA 48:2); (See also: Mount Zion; daughter/of Zion).
