The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

provisions of the spirit that God assigns to people to see that the enemy has hardly any access to them or their possession. The destroyer, no matter how he tries, cannot come near their dwelling. The spirit of Psalm 91 expresses this most effectively. Also Ezekiel 13:5. 618. Hedge of Thorns—Meaning crises, problems, and the cares of the world. According to the Lord Jesus Christ, such hedges mean a person is encamped by troubles and calamity in life. Such a hedge can be self-erected by people who are lazy, irresponsible, and generally ineffective in life. Ecclesiastes 10:8; Proverbs 15:19. 619. Hegemon—The Greek equivalent of what we would call a principalic ruler. A term that defines gubernatorial rule that supremely applies to Christ, according to Matthew 2:6. Throughout its New Testament usage, the word hegemon was translated as “governor.” 620. Hegemone—An old Greek word for a queen or a woman in sovereign power. 621. Hegemony—The provincial territory of a great king or ruler with military, judicial, and gubernatorial authority. Hebrews 13 applies the term to the rulers of the New Testament church and its leaders and shepherds. 622. Helios—Greek god of light. 623. Hell—The word for the infernal resting place of dead humans and doomed angels. Deuteronomy 32:22 identifies it as the place where God puts His burning anger so as not to destroy the earth before its time. The Bible teaches that hell is deep, has levels (the lowest hell), and is vulnerable to its Creator God. Hell is accessed only through death, where only the soul can enter. It has a guardian and angels who transport doomed souls there. Hell’s neighbor is Abaddon, the wandering destroyer who spends his time deceiving and seducing people into deserving it. Christ says it is fiery, the place of the doomed, the cursed of God which the Creator prepared as a place for the devil and his angels. See Matthew 25:41. Isaiah 14:9 agrees with this description. The Hebrew word for it is sheol. Hell, from all passages addressing it, is the place of God’s waste, anger, and destruction. It houses and contains these in anticipation of the devil’s fall and humanity’s exercise of its free will to reject His redemption from sin. 624. Hell Hound—The companion of Hecate, the death goddess who guides souls to hell. Dogs were sacrificed to her.
