Helmet
( or kob, kob, ), a military cap for the defense of the head in battle (1 Samuel Helmont, FRANCOIS MERCURE, baron VAN, was born at Vilvorde in 1618. In his youth he studied medicine, and applied himself especially to alchemy. He then joined a band of gypsies, with whom he traveled through part of Europe, but was arrested in Italy in 1662, and cast into the dungeons of the Inquisition. In 1663, being liberated, he went to Sulzbach, where he worked with Knorr of Rosenroth at the Kabbala denudata. He published, about the same time, a work on the alphabet of the primitive tongue, i.e. Hebrew (Sulzbach, 1667, 12mo), which, according to him, is so natural that every letter expresses merely the position of the lips while pronouncing it: he pretended to teach the deaf and dumb to articulate all the sounds of his alphabet at first sight. He believed in the transmigration of souls, the universal remedy, and the philosopher’s stone. He traveled afterwards through England, and returned through Hanover to Berlin, in a suburb of which city he died in 1699 (Moreri says he died at Cologne; Toppens, in Switzerland; Wachter, at Emmerich, in Dec. 1698). Leibnitz wrote on him the following epitaph:
Nil patre inferior,
jacet hic Helmontius alter,
Qui junusxi varias mentis et artis opes:
Per quem Pythagoras et cabbala sacra revixit Elcensque,
parat qui sua cuncta sibi.
Besides the alphabet above mentioned, he wrote Opuscula Philosophica, quibus continentur principia philosophie antiquissim et recentissimae, etc. (Amsterd. 1690, 12mo): Quaedam prcemeditatae et consideratce Cogitationes super quatuor priora capita libri primi Moisis, Genesis nominati (Amst. 1697, 8vo): De Attributis divinis, etc. See Adelung, Hist. de la Folie humaine, 4:294-323 Moreri, Grand Dict. hist.; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Gneral, 23, 864.

Helmet
For the protection of the head, as worn by warriors. See ARMOUR. In the Christian’s armour the helmet is ‘salvation,’ or ‘the hope of salvation.’ Eph 6:17; 1Th 5:8. It is those who know their salvation that can take part against the wicked spirits in the heavenlies. It is to be remarked that Jehovah (Christ) in a future day will Himself put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation, to avenge His people by punishing their enemies. Isa 59:17.

Helmet
from peri, “around,” and kephale, “a head,” is used figuratively in Eph 6:17, with reference to salvation, and 1Th 5:8, where it is described as “the hope of salvation.” The head is not to be regarded here as standing for the seat of the intellect; the word is not so used elsewhere in Scripture. In Eph 6:17 salvation is a present experience of the Lord’s deliverance of believers as those who are engaged in spiritual conflict; in 1Th 5:8, the hope is that of the Lord’s return, which encourages the believer to resist the spirit of the age in which he lives.

Helmet
Isa 59:17 (a) A symbol of the blessing that comes to the one who is saved. His thoughts are guarded and his decisions are in the fear of GOD.
Eph 6:17 (a) This represents the provision GOD has made in His salvation for protecting the mind, the thoughts, and the mental processes. The mind is renewed by the Holy Spirit. It is enlightened by the Word of GOD and all of this is compared to a helmet. (See also 1Th 5:8).
