Topical Encyclopedia

In the context of the Bible, the term "aroused" often refers to the stirring of emotions, actions, or divine intervention. It can denote both positive and negative connotations depending on the context in which it is used. The term is used to describe human emotions, divine actions, and spiritual awakenings.

Human Emotions and Actions:

1. Anger and Jealousy: The Bible frequently uses "aroused" to describe the stirring of anger or jealousy. For instance, in the account of Cain and Abel, Cain's anger is aroused when God favors Abel's offering over his own (Genesis 4:5). Similarly, in 1 Samuel 18:8-9, Saul's jealousy is aroused against David when the women sing of David's greater victories.

2. Compassion and Love: Positive emotions can also be aroused. In the Song of Solomon, love and desire are frequently aroused between the bride and the bridegroom, symbolizing both human love and the love between God and His people (Song of Solomon 2:7).

3. Courage and Zeal: The Bible also speaks of courage and zeal being aroused in individuals. In Judges 6:34, the Spirit of the Lord clothes Gideon, arousing him to lead Israel against the Midianites.

Divine Actions:

1. God's Wrath: God's wrath is often described as being aroused in response to sin and disobedience. In Deuteronomy 9:7-8, Moses reminds the Israelites of how they aroused God's anger in the wilderness by their rebellion.

2. God's Compassion: Conversely, God's compassion can be aroused. In Isaiah 63:15, the prophet appeals to God, asking Him to look down from heaven and let His compassion be aroused for His people.

Spiritual Awakening:

1. Revival and Renewal: The concept of spiritual awakening is also present in the Bible. In Romans 13:11, Paul urges believers to awaken from their slumber, for salvation is nearer now than when they first believed. This awakening is a call to spiritual vigilance and renewal.

2. Stirring of the Spirit: In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in arousing believers to action and faith. In Acts 4:31, after the believers prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

Biblical Examples:

· Samson: In Judges 16:20, Samson's strength is aroused when he is awakened by Delilah, though he does not realize the Lord has left him.

· David: In 2 Samuel 24:1, the anger of the Lord is aroused against Israel, leading David to take a census of the people, an act that brings consequences.

· Jesus: In John 11:33, Jesus is deeply moved and His spirit is aroused with compassion and sorrow at the death of Lazarus, leading to the miracle of raising him from the dead.

The concept of being "aroused" in the Bible encompasses a wide range of human and divine experiences, reflecting the dynamic interaction between God and His creation. It serves as a reminder of the powerful emotions and actions that can be stirred within individuals and by God Himself.
