The term "projected" is not directly found in the Bible; however, the concept of projecting or foreseeing events, plans, or visions is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures. This entry explores the biblical understanding of projection in terms of prophecy, divine plans, and human intentions.

Prophecy and Divine Projection

In the Bible, prophecy is a significant form of divine projection, where God reveals future events to His prophets. These projections are not mere predictions but are declarations of God's sovereign will. For instance, the prophet Isaiah projected the coming of the Messiah, saying, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14). This prophecy was fulfilled in the New Testament with the birth of Jesus Christ, demonstrating the accuracy and divine origin of biblical projections.

God's Sovereign Plans

The Bible frequently emphasizes that God has a sovereign plan for humanity and the world. This divine plan is often projected through His promises and covenants. Jeremiah 29:11 states, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Here, God's projection of a hopeful future for His people is a reassurance of His benevolent intentions and ultimate control over history.

Human Intentions and Projections

While God’s projections are infallible, human projections are often subject to error and uncertainty. The Bible advises caution in making plans without acknowledging God's will. James 4:13-15 warns, "Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.' You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.'" This passage highlights the importance of submitting human projections to God's will, recognizing His ultimate authority over the future.

Visions and Dreams

Throughout the Bible, God often communicated His projections through visions and dreams. Joseph, the son of Jacob, received dreams that projected his future rise to power in Egypt (Genesis 37:5-10). These dreams were fulfilled despite the trials he faced, illustrating how divine projections can guide and sustain individuals through difficult circumstances.

Eschatological Projections

The Bible contains numerous eschatological projections concerning the end times. The Book of Revelation, for example, projects the ultimate victory of Christ and the establishment of a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21:1 states, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more." These projections provide hope and assurance to believers, affirming the eventual fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

In summary, while the term "projected" is not explicitly used in the Bible, the concept is deeply embedded in the prophetic, sovereign, and eschatological themes of Scripture. Through prophecy, divine plans, and visions, the Bible reveals God's projections for humanity and the world, offering guidance, hope, and assurance to believers.(imp. & p. p.) of Project.
