The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural
divine, that inducts one into the official position. The benefice or office by which a special (transmission) transfusion of power and authority endows and imbues a person for religious, political, and royal service. Enduement supplies that which dispenses the deity or authority’s ability and wisdom for sufficiency in their service or position. The induction is usually to a post of prestige, power, and authority among a higher class of servants, officials, or ministers. 2 Chronicles 2:12–13; James 3:13. 465. Enki—Babylonian wind god of water. 466. Enlil—Babylonian god of air. 467. Enoch—The seventh of the antediluvian (pre-flood) patriarchs. He was the very first prophet recorded in Scripture. His words remained for the better part of the ancient world, even up to the time of compiling the New Testament. Jude records a sermon from his works. Enoch’s name means “dedicated and initiated.” Negatively, the name means “mortal one.” Genesis 5; Luke 3:37; Hebrews 11:5; Jude 14. 468. Ensi—A word important to prophetic symbolism as it defines the ancient priest-king that ruled a village or community that was birthed and established by, and therefore a theocratic site of, a deity. Melchizedek was just one such officer for the Most High God whose ancient stronghold was Jerusalem long before He presented it to Abraham’s seed. It explains how and why the Lord could, and did, cast out its former inhabitants to settle His people there as was customary for people’s gods to do. Once they engendered their own race of people, or nationality, they then settled their offspring in their own (that of the deity’s) land that was previously taken for themselves. Ordinarily, it was the site where they first landed when they descended to the earth. An example of such a descent would be Jehovah descending upon Mount Sinai. This common fact of the day explains why Jesus made so much out of His being born and not just another newly arriving god (Deuteronomy 32:12, 17) appearing out of nowhere. He is the door of the sheep because He came in by the doorway of the sheepfold, that is as a human being is born into the world. The priest-king motif of the early world stemmed from this event that set in motion all that would happen in a land under the joint leadership of a spirit being and a human. See Portals, Jerusalem, and Melchizedek. 469. Entertainment—A) To hold (by entering within), to maintain influence or control over one’s mind. B) To engage by diverting the attention from
