The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

history is the very first one brought on by God to penalize the antediluvians for their sinful impenitence. In prophetic contexts, floods symbolize the overwhelming. They reflect being swept away by something, good or bad. Jeremiah 46:7; Nahum 1:8; Matthew 24:38–39; Genesis 9:11; 2 Peter 2:5; Revelation 12:16. 522. Flowers—Flowers are tokens and symbols of love, victory, and good will. In prophetic contexts they can indicate a season of spring that is blossoming or the shortness of a human’s existence or cycle of life. Flowers are often depicted spiritually as signs of short-term conditions or states of life. 523. Foot—Symbolic of a ruler’s foundation. It is expressive of heavy-handed or oppressive power. See Feet and Big Toe. Leviticus 8:23; Psalm 38:16, 68:23, and 121:3; Isaiah 41:2; Luke 4:11; Revelation 10:2–3. 524. Forest—The primitive place of mysteries where mystics went to obtain occult knowledge. It also represents the achievement of that knowledge in the adult world. Forests were the dwelling places of minor gods and spirits, especially terrorist spirits who feast on fear. Jeremiah 5:6, 10:3, 21:14, and 46:20–25. 525. Foreshadow—A) An immaterial event or object that bespeaks an impending one. For instance, the Law of Moses foreshadows (sketched a visible outline) Christ’s redemption. B) A spiritual appearance of something that indicates the approach of something else to come in the future. Practically, one would understand this as a free wardrobe they receive, for example, that comes just before the job the Lord promised them they would get. The wardrobe foreshadowed the job because it was what was lacking, or the unseen token of the need to shortly be fulfilled. 526. Foretelling—Predictive prophecy. 2 Corinthians 13:2. 527. Fornication—Sex outside of marriage as an offering to a prostituting god or goddess. Both Hebrew and Greek terms link fornication to cult prostitution and ritualistic intercourse where the performers are responsible to the gods of those they copulate with, or serve, through the act of copulation. Recreational sex, that is sex for sex’s sake, is never indicated by the word’s definitions, even when adultery and incest are both involved. In modern times we would define this as pornography from the Greek terms porneo, porneous, and porneia. We would understand the terms today as referring to pornography. See Pornography. Fornication and whore-mongering are synonyms. 2 Chronicles 21:11; Isaiah
