Topical Encyclopedia

In biblical terms, the concept of "spreading" can be understood in various contexts, including the dissemination of God's Word, the expansion of influence or territory, and the metaphorical spreading of sin or righteousness. The Bible provides numerous instances where spreading is depicted both positively and negatively, reflecting the broader spiritual and moral themes within Scripture.

Spreading of God's Word

The spreading of God's Word is a central theme in the Bible, emphasizing the importance of evangelism and the Great Commission. In the New Testament, Jesus commands His disciples to spread the Gospel to all nations. Matthew 28:19-20 states, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you." This directive underscores the responsibility of believers to actively share the message of salvation.

The early church exemplified this spreading of the Gospel. Acts 6:7 notes, "So the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith." The rapid growth of the early Christian community highlights the power and effectiveness of spreading God's Word.

Spreading of Influence and Territory

In the Old Testament, spreading often refers to the expansion of territory or influence, particularly concerning the Israelites. God's promise to Abraham included the spreading of his descendants across the land. Genesis 28:14 records God's promise to Jacob: "Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring."

This spreading of influence is not limited to physical territory but also encompasses the spiritual influence of God's people. The Israelites were called to be a light to the nations, spreading the knowledge of the one true God.

Spreading of Sin and Righteousness

The Bible also addresses the spreading of sin, warning of its pervasive and corrupting nature. In 1 Corinthians 5:6 , Paul warns the Corinthian church, "Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?" Here, the metaphor of yeast illustrates how sin can spread and affect the entire community if not addressed.

Conversely, righteousness and good deeds are also depicted as having a spreading influence. In 2 Corinthians 9:10 , Paul writes, "Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness." This passage suggests that acts of righteousness can spread and multiply, leading to a greater impact for God's kingdom.

Spreading as a Metaphor for God's Protection

The imagery of spreading is also used to describe God's protection and care. Psalm 91:4 beautifully illustrates this: "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart." The metaphor of God spreading His wings over His people conveys a sense of safety and divine shelter.

In summary, the concept of spreading in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from the dissemination of God's Word and the expansion of His kingdom to the influence of sin and righteousness. Each context provides valuable insights into the spiritual dynamics at play within the biblical narrative.

SPREAD; SPREADING

spred, spred'-ing: Alone, or in phrases like "spread abroad," "spread forth," etc., "spread" represents very many Hebrew terms, principally paras; in the New Testament the act of spreading is stronnumi, where in Matthew 21:8 b the King James Version has "strawed" (which see); compound in Luke 19:36. For "spread abroad" in Mark 1:28 1 Thessalonians 1:8 (exerchomai), the Revised Version (British and American) has "went out" and "gone forth"; conversely, the Revised Version (British and American) has "spread abroad" for the King James Version "break forth" (Isaiah 54:3,), and "published" (diaphero, Acts 13:49), and for "commonly reported" (diaphemizo, Matthew 28:15).
