The term "satiated" refers to the state of being fully satisfied or filled, often in the context of food and drink, but it can also extend to other desires or needs. In the Bible, the concept of being satiated is frequently used to describe God's provision and the satisfaction that comes from His blessings.

Old Testament References

In the Old Testament, the idea of being satiated is often associated with God's provision for His people. For instance, in Deuteronomy 8:10, the Israelites are instructed, "When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land He has given you." Here, being satiated is linked with gratitude and acknowledgment of God's generosity.

The Psalms also reflect this theme. Psalm 22:26 states, "The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him—may your hearts live forever!" This verse highlights the satisfaction that comes from seeking the Lord and His provision for the needy.

In the prophetic literature, satiation is sometimes used metaphorically to describe spiritual fulfillment. Isaiah 55:2 asks, "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." Here, the prophet Isaiah calls the people to find true satisfaction in God rather than in material pursuits.

New Testament References

In the New Testament, the concept of being satiated is often spiritualized, pointing to the fulfillment found in Christ. Jesus Himself speaks of this in the Beatitudes: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6). This promise of being filled or satiated is tied to a pursuit of righteousness and a relationship with God.

The feeding of the five thousand, as recorded in John 6, also illustrates this theme. After the crowd is physically fed, Jesus teaches about the true bread from heaven, saying, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst" (John 6:35). Here, Jesus presents Himself as the ultimate source of spiritual satiation.

Theological Implications

From a theological perspective, the concept of being satiated underscores the sufficiency of God's provision. It serves as a reminder that true satisfaction is found not in earthly possessions or achievements but in a relationship with God. The Bible consistently points believers to seek fulfillment in God's presence and His promises.

The notion of being satiated also carries an eschatological dimension, as believers look forward to the ultimate fulfillment and satisfaction in the presence of God in eternity. Revelation 7:16-17 speaks of this future hope: "Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

In summary, the biblical concept of being satiated encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, pointing to God's abundant provision and the ultimate satisfaction found in Him.(imp. & p. p.) of Satiate.7646. saba -- to be sated, satisfied or surfeited
