The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural
Matthew 5:34. In the Lord Jesus’ kingdom, the government of the world will be divided into twelve territories over which the twelve apostles rule upon twelve thrones forever. Each territory, according to Christ, is to be named after one of the tribes of Israel as listed in Revelation 7:5–8. 1516. Thumb—A sign of power, the emblem of the warrior, executive strength, manual skill, and the brainpower for executive ability. Exodus 29:20; Leviticus 8:23 and 14:14, 17, 25, 28. 1517. Thunder—A) A symbol of divine might, spiritual warfare or activity. B) The voice and acts of God. Exodus 9:23; Job 26:14; Mark 3:17; Revelation 6:1. 1518. Thunderbolt—A) An ancient symbol of divine weaponry and spiritual assault on the celestial plane. B) An implement of cataclysmic change and the onslaught of divine beings upon humanity. C) A paradigm symbol. Job 28:26 and 38:25. 1519. Tiamet—The Babylonian aquatic goddess of chaos. Believed to be the female creator of sea creatures. Tiamet was depicted as a she-dragon and cause of chaos. Many ancients saw her as a female leviathan, often with seven heads that caused the chaos of the seas. 1520. Tiger—A) A sign of feminine occult power and defense from a female deity. B) An Asiatic symbol of supremacy over death and life. C) Also, it is a gambler’s emblem. D) In some cultures tigers signified the military valor of warriors who believed they embodied departed descendents. E) It is also a symbol of senseless anger. 1521. Tithe—A) The word means literally “one-tenth.” Ten is the number representative of the injunction of divine government. B) It is the number of the tithe, the Creator’s portion, sovereignly demanded by Him from His creatures in support of His economy. The idea behind God’s requirement for the tithe is its balance against the earth’s economy. Tithes paid properly were to offset the ravages and authority of sins against the planet. Their payment safeguarded it against waste, devastation, and destruction. This is the motif behind the Lord’s words of Malachi 3:11 about the devourer’s right to come into the home of the non-tither to retrieve through destruction his portion of their increase. Tithing, therefore, preserves the home of God’s covenanted ones and subdues and/or restrains its influence in a life or a land. It is especially important to those with whom He has forged a covenant.
