Definition: Animatistic refers to a supernatural, imaginative or dream-like state. In the Bible, this term is used to describe human behavior in times of fear, panic, or despair. A summary of its meaning can be found in Genesis 28:9 where Job imagines that he will die and become God himself: "Job said, 'My Lord, if you are willing, may I see your face?' The angel replied, "No man shall ever know the face of God." The word comes from Greek (meaning "to dream") and can be found in several New Testament passages where Job's imagination leads him astray.
