Topical Encyclopedia

The term "raise" in the Bible is often associated with the act of lifting up, elevating, or bringing something or someone to a higher state or position. This concept is prevalent throughout the Scriptures, both in a literal and metaphorical sense, and is deeply intertwined with themes of resurrection, restoration, and divine intervention.

Old Testament Usage

In the Old Testament, "raise" frequently appears in the context of God raising up leaders, prophets, or deliverers for His people. For instance, God raised up judges to deliver Israel from oppression, as seen in Judges 2:16: "Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders." This act of raising up leaders underscores God's sovereignty and His active role in guiding and protecting His chosen people.

The concept of raising is also evident in the promises of restoration and renewal. In Isaiah 61:4, the prophet speaks of a future time when God's people will "rebuild the ancient ruins, raise up the former devastations, and renew the ruined cities." Here, raising signifies a return to former glory and the fulfillment of God's promises.

New Testament Usage

In the New Testament, the theme of raising is most prominently associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith, symbolizing victory over sin and death. In Matthew 28:6, the angel declares to the women at the tomb, "He is not here; He has risen, just as He said." This event is pivotal, affirming Jesus' divinity and the hope of eternal life for believers.

The apostle Paul frequently discusses the resurrection, emphasizing its importance for Christian doctrine and life. In 1 Corinthians 15:20, he writes, "But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." This passage highlights the assurance of believers' future resurrection, as Christ's rising is the first of many to come.

Spiritual and Metaphorical Implications

Beyond the physical act of raising, the Bible often uses the term metaphorically to describe spiritual awakening and moral elevation. In Ephesians 2:6, Paul explains that God "raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." This spiritual raising signifies the believer's new identity and status in Christ, having been lifted from a state of sin to one of righteousness and fellowship with God.

The act of raising is also linked to prayer and worship. In Psalm 28:2, David pleads, "Hear my cry for mercy as I call to You for help, as I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary." Here, raising hands is an expression of dependence on and reverence for God, symbolizing the lifting of one's heart and soul in worship.

Conclusion

The concept of raising in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from the physical resurrection of the dead to the spiritual elevation of believers. It reflects God's power to restore, renew, and transform, offering hope and assurance to His people throughout the ages.

RAISE

raz: "To raise" in the Old Testament is most frequently the translation of the Hiphil form of qum, "to cause to arise," e.g. raising up seed (Genesis 38:8), a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18), judges (Judges 2:16, 18), etc.; also of `ur, "to awake," "stir up" (Ezra 1:5 the King James Version; Isaiah 41:2, etc.), with other words. In the New Testament the chief words are egeiro, "to awaken," "arouse" (Matthew 3:9 Luke 1:69; Luke 3:8, etc.), frequently of raising the dead; and anistemi (Matthew 22:24 John 6:39, etc.; Acts 2:24 (30 the King James Version), etc.), with compounds of the former. Among the Revised Version (British and American) changes may be noted, "to stir the fire" for "from raising" (Hosea 7:4); "raiseth high his gate" for "exalteth his gate" (Proverbs 17:19); the American Standard Revised Version, "can it be raised from the roots thereof" for "pluck it up by the roots thereof" (Ezekiel 17:9 the King James Version and the English Revised Version); "raised up" for "rise again" (Matthew 20:19; compare Matthew 26:32 Romans 8:34 Colossians 3:1).
