The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

being subject to or subdued by prophets. Thus the bird doubles as a solar symbol (because of its supposed enlightenment) of the oracular and is connected with the messenger birds of the day. Ravens are pet birds for witches who find their divinatory demons inhabiting them and so receive their oracles through the animal. The Lord had His prophet Elijah fed by ravens when he fled the face of Jezebel. The irony is that this represented the prophetic symbol of many false prophets of the day. To have them serve the prophet of the Most High God was a distinct statement being made to the forces of darkness that sought to destroy Elijah’s life. See Crow. 1238. Realm—A range or field of control, power, or other concentration of mastery and/or authority. Realms differ from spheres in that they are more concrete than a sphere. A country, for instance, is a realm; a particular area of influence or authority is a sphere. Empires and kingdoms are realms. They are ruled by sovereigns. Land is typically involved in realms.

See Psalm 34:7 and 142:7; 2 Samuel 21:5 (nkjv). Even the priests had their own territories (realms) that were populated with as many spiritual citizens as there were priestly citizens. See 2 Chronicles 11:13 (nkjv). Before the captivity, Jerusalem was just such a realm and the prophet Ezekiel took great pains to tell us how and when the Lord departed from there. See Ezekiel 9:3, 7. 1240. Red—The color of royalty in its duty to engage in war to defend its land and peoples. Red is also the color of sin and death and of warfare and its bloodshed.
