The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

Lord said the development process that starts out secretly eventually shows itself when the corn appears in its ear. Spiritually what enlarges this parable is that, historically, corn represented in nomadic times a symbol of a king’s seed. What makes it even more impressive regarding our Savior is that seeds only grow by first bleeding and then dying. Thus the Lord Jesus, in talking to His audience in their own language and comprehension, revealed Himself to be the King who would bleed and die for His seed to grow in the earth. First as a blade and then the ear in the blade. After that the entire corn would show up in its ear. Of all the vegetables He could have used to make His point, ironically, corn—being symbolic of a king’s seed—was what He settled upon. 316. Corridor—Same as hallway, it is an enclosed pathway that limits, but compels, one’s transition. Corridors represent internal, often submerged or concealed, transition. Forward or backward are the only choices. Corridors indicate the beginning and the end of a very focused, usually restricted, journey. Doors along the way signify options and opportunities the narrow path offers. Doorways along the way symbolize only two choices in route to the end, forward to one’s destination (destiny) or backward to one’s place of beginning. Lighted corridors indicate an enlightened journey. Dark corridors (or those dimly lit) represent obscured vision or a blind course of travel. The positions of the lighting, too, should be observed. Lights at the outset dimming and disappearing down the corridor indicate the trip starts out clear but dims in progress. If the reverse is the case, it means the darkness lifts as you come to the end of the path. Clear corridors say the course is virtually obstacle free. Clutter in the way signifies obstacles and oppositions or distractions along the way. Constant light and an uncluttered pathway says the only thing the dreamer will encounter along the way is a narrow road with limited or no options or opportunities as they go forward. 317. Cosmic Tree—Venerated since ancient days, the cosmic tree is what Scripture calls the “tree of life.” Prior to Judeo-Christian revelation, pagan religions all venerated a tree they saw as the center of the universe, connecting heaven and earth. Some religions believed such trees spawned the offspring of the gods. Others believed them to be the haunts of gods and fairies, and so instruments of divination. In Norse mythology, among others, the Celts worshipped the mighty oak for its longevity and supposed divinatory oracles. Aside from being the haunts of demons and other spirits, the cosmic tree claimed to be the supposed meeting place of humans and deities. Few ancient religions excluded cosmic tree lore. Realizing that the antediluvian history would be
