The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

shaman travels between all the worlds, intercepts and guides departed souls to their right destination, and wrestles for the healing and deliverances of tribal members. The shaman exercises enormous spiritual authority over the tribe and enjoys considerable supernatural powers as well. The crux of the shaman’s abilities lies in drug addiction. To operate in the invisible realms of the spirit the shaman must do so with the aid of hallucinogenic drugs to open up to the guide and traverse the spirit realm with their assistance. 1344. Shamar—A Hebrew word for the prophet as a watchman. The shamar aspects of the prophet pertain to the officer’s role as a gardener tending to the flock over which he or she has care. It also applies to the guardianship, sentinel, and protective function of the office. To shamar a people or work prophetically is to encircle it, build a divine wall or hedge of protection, or to seal the hedge in which the devil has broken with satanic assaults, attacks, and warfare.

B) Sheep was the term applied to the citizens of ancient villagers. In the New Testament, sheep represent the people of God; in particular, their souls. C) Black sheep are typical witchcraft sacrifices ordinarily rendered to the gods of the dead, that is the gods of the nether world. Since nomadic life prevailed during the assimilation of the biblical era, animals often provided the symbolism for people, their behavior, and creation purpose.
