The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

high descend or what is lowly to arise. They enable the passage of smaller and lighter objects. Primarily, though, what goes through a window is usually airborne such as wind, the elements, and birds. In addition, windows were considered dual sources of light and air (wisdom and spirit), and the conduit of heavenly blessings that result in complete happiness. The Bible’s mentality concerning windows included the niche for birds, an outlet for smoke, and a crack for seepage or outpouring. These ideas share one spiritual significance. Birds in olden days were thought of as carriers of spirits. Smoke was a type of spiritual apparition, and water the baptism or washing of or for spiritual orientation and development. See each one under its own separate heading. The Bible depicts windows as a means of pouring out blessings from heaven or divine judgments. Windows may be seen as the opening that permits the earthly to receive or appear before the heavenly. John’s Apocalypse speaks of the window in heaven where the Lord showed him the ark of God after which the earthly Levitical ark was made and numerous other details of the spirit realm that he would have otherwise been unable to know. Scriptures that allude to spiritual windows include Genesis 7:11 and 8:2; Isaiah 24:18; 2 Kings 7:2, 19; Ecclesiastes 12:13. See Gate, Gateway, and Door. 1618. Wine—An intoxicant believed to possess some sort of lifegiving force and to communicate spiritual blessings. Initially, before the new covenant in Jesus Christ, wine was characteristic of a sort of salvation, joy, truth, and healing. It was further celebrated for its perceived transformative effects. This idea arose from its change from a grape to the fruit of the vine. For these reasons, wine was heralded as a divine blessing. Wine had several virtues associated with it, such as healing, truth, reformation, liberty, and spiritual nourishment. In activating or imparting these powers, wine is partnered with water. Symbolically, a spiritual intoxicant believed to manifest truth and promote spiritual wisdom and insight, wine was usually drunk by spiritual types and ancient prophets to conjure up visions or prophecies. As a libation it was ingested to commune with the spirits worshipped for it. In the New Testament wine represents the Holy Spirit along with the water that completes it. That is why the Spirit of Truth is symbolized by wine. The analogy sprang from wine’s well-known affects of opening the heart and relaxing the guards of people normally protected by various inner restraints. In
