The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

God gives His people in the way of positions, gifts, and talents to be used at a later time and place in pursuit of their ordained destinies. Isaiah 63:7; 1 John 3:1. 189. Beth Aven—A) House of idols. B) One of King Jeroboam’s two major idolatrous centers in Israel. It became the temple site of the golden calf worship.

Jeroboam took advantage of the site’s history and restored its worship, using his position as regent of the land to legalize its renaissance. See Bethel. 190. Bethel—Originally, the house of God.
