Topical Encyclopedia

The term "entereth" is an archaic form of the verb "enter," commonly found in the King James Version of the Bible and other older English translations. It signifies the act of going into or coming into a place, condition, or state. In the context of Scripture, "entereth" often carries significant theological and spiritual implications, particularly concerning the Kingdom of God, salvation, and the presence of God.

Biblical Usage and Context

1. Entering the Kingdom of God: The concept of entering the Kingdom of God is central to the teachings of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 7:13-14 , Jesus uses the metaphor of gates to describe the path to eternal life: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it." Here, "entereth" underscores the deliberate and often challenging choice to follow Christ and live according to His teachings.

2. Entering into Rest: The Epistle to the Hebrews speaks of entering God's rest, a theme that draws from the Old Testament promise of rest in the Promised Land. Hebrews 4:10 states, "For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His." This passage highlights the spiritual rest and peace believers find in Christ, contrasting it with the physical rest of the Sabbath and the incomplete rest of the Israelites.

3. Entering the Presence of God: The act of entering into God's presence is a profound theme in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year to make atonement for the people (Leviticus 16). In the New Testament, through Christ's sacrifice, believers have direct access to God. Hebrews 10:19-22 encourages believers: "Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus... let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith."

4. Entering into Temptation: Jesus warns His disciples about the danger of entering into temptation. In Matthew 26:41 , He advises, "Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak." This admonition highlights the need for vigilance and prayer to resist the lure of sin and maintain spiritual integrity.

5. Entering through Christ: Jesus describes Himself as the door through which one must enter to be saved. In John 10:9 , He declares, "I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture." This metaphor emphasizes the exclusivity of Christ as the way to salvation and the abundant life He offers to those who believe in Him.

Theological Implications

The use of "entereth" in Scripture often signifies a transition from one state to another, whether it be from sin to salvation, from unrest to peace, or from separation to communion with God. It underscores the active participation required of believers to pursue a relationship with God and the transformative power of faith in Christ. The term also serves as a reminder of the choices and commitments inherent in the Christian journey, urging believers to seek the narrow path that leads to eternal life.
