Topical Encyclopedia

In biblical times, the concept of an "hour" was not as precisely defined as it is today. The ancient Hebrews divided the day into periods based on the position of the sun, and the division into 24 hours became more standardized during the Roman period. The term "hour" appears in various contexts throughout the Bible, often symbolizing a specific moment or period of time with spiritual significance.

Old Testament Context

The Old Testament does not frequently mention the term "hour" as a specific unit of time. Instead, time was often measured in terms of watches or parts of the day, such as morning, noon, and evening. However, the concept of a divinely appointed time or moment is prevalent. For example, in Ecclesiastes 3:1, it is written, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."

New Testament Context

In the New Testament, the term "hour" becomes more prominent, reflecting the influence of Roman timekeeping. The Gospels frequently use the term to denote specific times of day or significant moments in Jesus' ministry. For instance, in John 4:6, it is noted, "Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour."

The "hour" is also used metaphorically to signify critical moments in God's redemptive plan. In John 2:4, Jesus refers to His future suffering and glorification, saying, "My hour has not yet come." This phrase recurs throughout the Gospel of John, culminating in John 17:1, where Jesus, in His high priestly prayer, declares, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You."

Eschatological Significance

The concept of the "hour" carries eschatological weight, particularly in the context of the end times. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus warns, "But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This underscores the unpredictability of the timing of the Second Coming and the importance of vigilance and readiness among believers.

Prayer and Watchfulness

The "hour" is also associated with prayer and spiritual watchfulness. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus admonishes His disciples, saying, "So, could you not keep watch with Me for one hour?" (Matthew 26:40). This highlights the importance of spiritual alertness and the need for believers to remain steadfast in prayer, especially during times of trial.

Conclusion

The biblical use of the term "hour" encompasses both literal and symbolic meanings, reflecting moments of divine intervention, fulfillment of prophecy, and the call for spiritual readiness. Whether marking a specific time of day or a pivotal moment in salvation history, the "hour" serves as a reminder of God's sovereign timing and the believer's call to faithfulness.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Hour

The ancient Hebrews were probably unacquainted with the division of the natural day into twenty-four parts; but they afterwards parcelled out the period between sunrise and sunset into a series of divisions distinguished by the sun's course. The early Jews appear to have divided the day into four parts, (Nehemiah 9:3) and the night into three watches, (Judges 7:19) and even in the New Testament we find a trace of this division in (Matthew 20:1-5) At what period the Jews first became acquainted with the division of the day into twelve hours is unknown, but it is generally supposed they learned it from the Babylonians during the captivity. It was known to the Egyptians at a very early period. They had twelve hours of the day and of the night. There are two kinds of hours, viz. (1) the astronomical or equinoctial hour, i.e. the 24th part of a civil day, and (2) the natural hour, i.e. the 12th part of the natural day, or of the time between sunrise and sunset. These are the hours meant in the New Testament, (John 11:9) etc., and it must be remembered that they perpetually vary in length, so as to be very different at different times of he year. For the purpose of prayer the old division of the day into four portions was continued in the temple service. as we see from (Acts 2:15; 3:1; 10:9)

Easton's Bible Dictionary

First found in Dan. 3:6; 4:19, 33;5:5. It is the rendering of the Chaldee shaah, meaning a "moment," a "look." It is used in the New Testament frequently to denote some determinate season (Matthew 8:13; Luke 12:39).

With the ancient Hebrews the divisions of the day were "morning, evening, and noon-day" (Psalm 55:17, etc.). The Greeks, following the Babylonians, divided the day into twelve hours. The Jews, during the Captivity, learned also from the Babylonians this method of dividing time. When Judea became subject to the Romans, the Jews adopted the Roman mode of reckoning time. The night was divided into four watches (Luke 12:38; Matthew 14:25; 13:25). Frequent allusion is also made to hours (Matthew 25:13; 26:40, etc.). (see DAY.)

An hour was the twelfth part of the day, reckoning from sunrise to sunset, and consequently it perpetually varied in length.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) The twenty-fourth part of a day; sixty minutes.

2. (n.) The time of the day, as expressed in hours and minutes, and indicated by a timepiece; as, what is the hour? At what hour shall we meet?

3. (n.) Fixed or appointed time; conjuncture; a particular time or occasion; as, the hour of greatest peril; the man for the hour.

4. (n.) Certain prayers to be repeated at stated times of the day, as matins and vespers.

5. (n.) A measure of distance traveled.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

HOUR

our (sha`atha', she`a'; hora): Hour as a division of the day does not occur in the Old Testament; the term she`a' (sha`atha') found in Dnl, is Aramaic, and as used there denotes a short period or point of time of no definite length (Daniel 3:6, 15; Daniel 4:33 (Hebrew 30); 5:5). The Greek hora is commonly used in the New Testament in the same way, as "that same hour," "from that hour," etc., but it also occurs as a division of the day, as, "the third hour," "the ninth hour," etc. The Hebrews would seem to have become acquainted with this division of time through the Babylonians, but whether before the captivity we are not certain. The mention of the sun dial of Ahaz would seem to indicate some such reckoning of time during the monarchy.
