The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

triggers are words tied to specific predictive events that are recorded on God’s calendar. When the time appears, such as the end of the Babylonian captivity, the words of the prophet are rediscovered and revived to ignite the onset of the events and circumstances set to bring the word to pass. Examples of this are 2 Chronicles 36:22; Ezra 1:1; Leviticus 10:1–3; Matthew 1:22 and 5:18. 1188. Prophetic Vacuum—A situation where the prophetic exists but is confined to operate in a closed environment where its contact is minimal. The term aptly explains what happens inwardly with suffocated prophetics in a local church or ministry. 1189. Prophetic Vessel—A) One through whom prophecy comes even though he or she is without the prophet’s spirit. B) One very sensitive to prophetic and spiritual things. 1190. Prophetic Vision—An appearance or unveiling of the spirit world and its supernatural activities to a prophet, prophetic vessel, or a dreamer of dreams. Such visions are for the purposes of revelatory preparation, training, awareness, or other official action. The prophetic vision informs the dreamer of what is happening behind the veil of this world in terms and images that do not conform to the dreamer’s or visionary’s normal perceptions. As a matter of fact, they purposely conflict with their habitual thought-lines. The prophetic vision is dissimilar from the prophetic dream. It does not necessarily employ language, terminology, or symbolism readily understood by its audience. Instead, the prophetic vision is based on the perspectives, truth, and realities of the spiritual world and conforms to the dreamer’s understanding only to the point that the inhabitants of our world may translate their superior language and wisdom upon interpretation. The prophetic vision, for example, may show a person living in a house that is totally uncharacteristic of the one in which the subject of the revelation may live. In a prophetic dream, this disparity may define itself as something the dreamer and the subject share in common. With the prophetic vision, this is not the case. The common link between the dreamer or visionary and the spiritual agent of the production shifts. The emphasis now goes from the dreamer and the subject to the dreamer and the word of the Lord. Prophetic visions’ objective emanates from eternity to now and not from the present time to eternity. Its hierarchy is from heaven to earth and not from earth to heaven, which is more often the case with the prophetic dream.
