The term "squeezed" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible , but the concept can be related to various biblical themes and narratives where pressure, constriction, or being pressed is evident. In Scripture, the idea of being squeezed can metaphorically represent trials, tribulations, or the refining process that believers undergo.

Biblical Context and Themes:

1. Trials and Tribulations:
The concept of being squeezed can be likened to the trials and tribulations that believers face. James 1:2-4 encourages believers to "consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." Here, the pressure of trials is seen as a means to develop spiritual maturity and endurance.

2. The Narrow Path:
In Matthew 7:13-14 , Jesus speaks of the narrow gate and the difficult path that leads to life, contrasting it with the wide gate and broad road that leads to destruction. The imagery of a narrow path can evoke the idea of being squeezed or pressed, symbolizing the challenges and sacrifices required to follow Christ faithfully.

3. The Olive Press:
The process of squeezing olives to produce oil is a powerful biblical metaphor. In Gethsemane, which means "oil press," Jesus experienced immense pressure and anguish before His crucifixion (Matthew 26:36-46). This setting underscores the idea of being pressed to fulfill God's will, highlighting the cost of obedience and sacrifice.

4. Refinement and Purification:
The imagery of refining metals, where impurities are removed under intense heat and pressure, parallels the concept of being squeezed. Malachi 3:3 describes God as a refiner and purifier of silver, purifying the Levites and refining them like gold and silver. This process symbolizes the purification and sanctification of believers through life's pressures.

5. Paul's Hardships:
The Apostle Paul frequently speaks of the pressures and hardships he endured for the sake of the Gospel. In 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 , he writes, "We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed." Paul's experiences illustrate the resilience and hope found in Christ, even when squeezed by external circumstances.

Spiritual Application:

The concept of being squeezed can serve as a reminder of the transformative power of trials in the life of a believer. Just as physical pressure can extract valuable oil from olives or refine precious metals, spiritual pressure can produce perseverance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-5). Believers are encouraged to trust in God's sovereignty and faithfulness, knowing that He uses life's pressures to conform them to the image of Christ (Romans 8:28-29).

In summary, while the term "squeezed" is not explicitly used in the Bible, its thematic presence is evident in the experiences of biblical figures and the teachings of Scripture. It serves as a metaphor for the challenges and refining processes that believers encounter on their spiritual journey.(imp. & p. p.) of Squeeze.7818. sachat -- to squeeze out
