The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

one separated from the body because they have no control of what happens after death. In addition, the cult promotes harm, hurt, and destruction of their followers, believing that life after death beneath the earth is better than life on earth. The idea of an eternal existence in heaven is shunned entirely. The most powerful death cult is that of the ancient Egyptians where exhaustive means were taken to assure the Pharaohs eternal dominion and hopefully an opportunity to rise from the nether world and be joined to the sun god Horus. See Necromancy and Wotan. 332. Cult Prostitute—A term that applies to the prostitutes of a religion. This word mostly pertains to males who were sodomites. Prostitutes were initially the carnal workhorses of ancient religions. As ministerial servants of the cult god, they dwelt in the temples where worshippers came to worship. Women were groomed, even birthed, for the purposes of mating with the worshippers, either publicly as a ceremonial act that was officiated by the priests or priestesses, or privately to satisfy the physical desires of special members.

Deliberately the prostitute, as a servant of the deity, performs the act to unite the body of the one with whom he or she fornicates with her god. See 1 Corinthians 6:15–16. The effect is the same with those who practice illicit sexual intercourse. They are joined, according to the Lord Jesus Christ, who knows that He never sanctioned a marriage union between the fornicators, to another god in communion and fellowship. 333. Cup—Vessel of the vine, a spiritual symbol of oblations and outpouring. Also symbolizes the heart, its offerings, and even in modern times, achievement. Cups can also be symbolic of an experience, call to purpose, assignment, or a charge delivered from the spirit world to our natural one. Usually these are seen in dreams by a hand extending the cup outward to the dreamer. A hand drinking from the cup means the spirit being is communing with the dreamer or visionary. Special ones were used in ancient times for divination. Genesis 40:11; Psalm 116:13; Isaiah 51:22; Jeremiah 16:7; Mark 10:38. 334. Cupid—Another name for the god Eros whom Psyche fornicated with at
