Word of the Day - 6/2/2008

Premonitory

Premonitory means giving premonition; serving to warn beforehand.

Pontius Pilate's unnamed wife had a premonitory dream advising her husband of Jesus' innocense (Matthew 27:19). The story appears only in the Gospel of Matthew.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him." (Matthew 27:19, NASB)
