The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

Noon is also noted in the Bible as the time of the midday meal, the time for an afternoon rest, and the time of a death judgment. Acts 26:13 shows it to also be an effective time for heavenly visitation, the meal being delayed and the body needing rest from the early day’s activities. Noon is the halfway point to midnight where other extraordinary supernatural occurrences take place in a presumably sleepy world. See Midnight and South. 943. North—The point of coolness, cold, and gloom due to its frigid temperatures and lack of the sun. The north speaks to the dark and hidden. Job 37:22 reveals the north as the dwelling place of God Almighty. In God, Mount Zion is situated on the north as the city of the Great King, that is, the Lord Jesus Christ. 944. Nostalgia—Nostalgic dreams and visions in prophecy are speaking to a return to the old, pleasant, safe, and secure. They are sparked by a yearning on the part of the dreamer if not prophetic in origin. If the aim is depositing prophecy, such dreams are a revelation from the Lord of the mental, emotional, or spiritual imposition of the forces of another time period. The era in which the dream is set reveals the prevailing spirits in the person’s life at the time, as well as those engineering their revivalist actions behind the scene. Prophetically, nostalgic dreams provide insight into what is making its way back around to manipulate and control. Often nostalgic dreams are old familiar spirits’ way of maneuvering themselves back into the forefront of a society, or the dreamer’s waking life. What ruled one’s country or world ten or twenty years ago, or even a century or millennia ago, is important to research to understand the underlying message of such dreams. These can easily be the agencies fueling a resurgence of their day to takeover the ground His kingdom gained by the church. This is what the Lord is warning the prophet about in the dream. The climate of their influence at the time the dream portrays is also significant in identifying its source and purpose. A return to a more desirable or strategic era, dreamer desire, an upset in the present life, and emotional need, all contribute to the onset of nostalgic dreams. 945. Nostradamus—A physician in fifteenth century France, Nostradamus was a healing astrologer. His gift became renowned during the time of the plague. In addition to healing, Nostradamus was known for prophesying in rhyme. 946. Novice—One new, untrained, unskilled, and uninitiated in a call or profession.
