The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

625. Helmet—Spiritual thoughts or control deliberately exercised over one’s thoughts. The power of the invisible to protect in battle. An object that guards the head in warfare. 626. Heman—A prophet in 1 Chronicles 16:41–42 who served during David’s era. Heman was a prophet by way of psalmism and the music ministry of the sanctuary. He had a staff of priestly musicians who praised God in song and in music. He was also called the king’s seer. Refer to 1 Chronicles 25:1–8. 627. Hen—Symbolic of a female necromancer. Also a suffocating and fussy mother. 628. Hera—See Juno. 629.

In Galatians 5:20, heresy is presented as commensurate with sedition, a form of treason. Heresy is hairsplitting, hypocritical doctrine that declares and peddles the opposite of what Scripture truth reveals and intends. It is a doctrine from man, for man, to man that completely ignores and drives the Lord’s veracity into disrepute. Ultimately, its achievement is that the Gentiles blaspheme the Lord’s name (Romans 2:24). Being a product of the self-will, heresy seeks to promote itself by overthrowing established truth. Its strategies include a redefinition of previously defined doctrine and its vernacular. It concocts privately developed procedures for applying its new dogma, as the heretic devotes himself completely to spreading the errant doctrine. Heresy intends to aggravate, destroy, divide, and
