The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

If it is a natural tunnel, then the point being made is that the reason for being underground and confined has to do with one’s humanness and God’s treatment of that humanness for His divine purposes. See Corridor and Hallway for other meanings. Naturally, location and modes of entrance and exit are worthwhile observations. 1553. Turban—A) An ancient headdress worn by those in authority to signify their faithfulness to duty in office. B) A symbol of the legitimate right to enter divine service. C) A spiritual sign in dreams of induction into divine service. D) Also called a miter in the Old Testament. Ezekiel 21:26; Zechariah 3:5. 1554. Tutelary—A) Guardianship by an ancestral god or goddess. B) A guardian spirit. C) The source of prophetics that comes through these spiritual agents. See Teraphim. Judges 17:5; Hosea 3:4. 1555. Tutelary Spirit—An ancestral spirit guarding a family, a work, or a human vessel by inhabiting them. 1556. Twelve—A) The number of divine government and apostolic rule. B) The number twelve represents the epitome of consummate divine and human rulership under Creator God. C) Twelve is the number of God’s covenanted ones in power and authority. D) Whereas twelve is the number of natural creatures holding spiritual power and its governments in their hands, seven designates the same thing in the reverse; that is, spiritual power embodied in natural vessels wielding the highest catalytic authority in God’s creation. 1557. Twilight—Twilight is a significant time in prophetic activity. In biblical contexts it signals the end of the workday, a time to quit. In natural terms, as an example of God’s creative work on earth, this applies to God and man. The Bible says that for God the work day ended in the evening and resumed in the morning. Twilight, then, bespeaks transition. A different kind of work ensues at twilight—that of the spiritual sort. Twilight was when offerings and sacrifices were made. It was when the night creatures left their dens and lairs to roam, wail, and howl. Humans’ identification with the creatures of the night joined them in roaming, wailing, and howling. Thus many crimes are perpetrated at night as the darkness gives the greatest advantage, that of anonymity. Twilight is when change comes, as that is when day workers depart from their workplace and shift into domestic and social activities. It is usually when the moon is brightest and appears closer to the planet for night light.
