Topical Encyclopedia

The term "raiseth" is an archaic form of the verb "raise," commonly found in the King James Version and other older translations of the Bible. It is used to describe the act of lifting up, elevating, or causing something or someone to rise. In the context of Scripture, "raiseth" often refers to God's power to elevate individuals, nations, or even the dead, highlighting His sovereignty and authority over creation.

Divine Power and Sovereignty

In the Bible, God is frequently depicted as the one who "raiseth" individuals or nations according to His divine will and purpose. This act of raising is often associated with God's ability to exalt the humble and bring down the proud. For instance, in 1 Samuel 2:7-8 , Hannah's prayer acknowledges God's sovereign power: "The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap."

Resurrection and New Life

The concept of "raiseth" is also central to the theme of resurrection, a cornerstone of Christian theology. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ's resurrection is the ultimate demonstration of God's power to raise the dead. In John 6:40 , Jesus declares, "For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." This promise of resurrection is a source of hope for believers, affirming that death is not the end for those who are in Christ.

Spiritual Renewal

Beyond physical resurrection, "raiseth" can also refer to spiritual renewal and transformation. In Ephesians 2:4-6 , Paul writes about the spiritual resurrection of believers: "But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." This passage emphasizes the transformative power of God's grace, which raises believers from spiritual death to new life in Christ.

Judgment and Justice

The term "raiseth" is also used in the context of divine judgment and justice. God is portrayed as the one who raises up nations or leaders to fulfill His purposes, whether for blessing or judgment. In Isaiah 45:13 , God speaks of raising up Cyrus, a foreign king, to accomplish His plans: "I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for a price or a bribe, says the LORD of Hosts." This demonstrates God's control over history and His ability to use even those outside the covenant community to achieve His divine objectives.

Conclusion

The term "raiseth" in the Bible encapsulates the multifaceted nature of God's power and authority. Whether in the context of exalting the humble, resurrecting the dead, renewing the spirit, or executing judgment, it underscores the belief in a God who is actively involved in the world and in the lives of His people.
