Definition and Context:
In the biblical context, "escaping" often refers to the act of fleeing from danger, temptation, or judgment. It can be both a physical and spiritual act, representing deliverance from peril or sin. The concept of escaping is prevalent throughout the Bible, illustrating God's provision and protection for His people.

Old Testament References:
In the Old Testament, escaping is frequently associated with God's deliverance of His people from their enemies. One of the most notable examples is the Exodus, where the Israelites escaped from slavery in Egypt. Exodus 14:29 states, "But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left." This miraculous escape underscores God's power and faithfulness.

The Psalms often reflect on God's ability to provide escape from adversaries. Psalm 124:7 declares, "We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the snare is broken, and we have escaped." This imagery highlights divine intervention and the breaking of bonds that ensnare the faithful.

New Testament References:
In the New Testament, escaping takes on a more spiritual dimension. The Apostle Paul speaks of escaping temptation through God's faithfulness. 1 Corinthians 10:13 assures believers, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it."

The theme of escaping judgment is also present. Hebrews 2:3 poses a rhetorical question, "How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?" This emphasizes the necessity of accepting salvation through Jesus Christ to escape eternal judgment.

Theological Implications:
Escaping in the Bible is often linked to God's sovereignty and grace. It is a reminder of His ability to rescue and protect His people from both physical and spiritual dangers. The act of escaping is not solely reliant on human effort but is deeply rooted in divine intervention and guidance.

Practical Application:
Believers are encouraged to seek God's help in times of trouble and temptation, trusting in His promise to provide a way of escape. This involves prayer, reliance on Scripture, and the support of the Christian community. Escaping is not merely about avoiding danger but about pursuing righteousness and holiness.

Conclusion:
While the Bible does not promise a life free from challenges, it assures believers of God's provision for escape in times of need. This assurance calls for faith and obedience, recognizing that true deliverance comes from the Lord.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Escape.5083. tereo -- to watch over, to guard
