Topical Encyclopedia

The term "tarry" in the Bible generally means to delay, linger, or wait. It is often used in contexts where individuals are instructed to remain in a place or situation until a specific time or event occurs. The concept of tarrying is significant in both the Old and New Testaments, reflecting themes of patience, obedience, and divine timing.

Old Testament Usage

In the Old Testament, "tarry" is frequently used in narratives where individuals are instructed to wait for God's timing or for the fulfillment of His promises. For example, in Genesis 19:16, Lot is described as lingering or tarrying when the angels urged him to leave Sodom: "But when he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters, and led them safely out of the city, because of the LORD’s compassion for them." Here, tarrying is associated with hesitation and the need for divine intervention to prompt action.

Another instance is found in Exodus 24:14, where Moses instructs the elders to wait for him while he ascends Mount Sinai: "And he said to the elders, 'Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute can go to them.'" This tarrying is a test of patience and trust in leadership and divine instruction.

New Testament Usage

In the New Testament, the concept of tarrying takes on a more spiritual dimension, often associated with waiting for the Holy Spirit or the return of Christ. In Luke 24:49, Jesus instructs His disciples to tarry in Jerusalem: "And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." This command to tarry emphasizes the importance of waiting for divine empowerment before embarking on their mission.

Similarly, in Acts 1:4, the disciples are again instructed to wait: "And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: 'Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.'" The act of tarrying here is directly linked to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, highlighting the necessity of divine timing in the fulfillment of God's promises.

Theological Implications

Theologically, tarrying is often seen as an exercise in faith and obedience. It requires believers to trust in God's timing and to remain steadfast in their faith, even when immediate action seems desirable. Tarrying can also be a period of preparation, where individuals are spiritually readied for the tasks or challenges ahead.

In a broader sense, the concept of tarrying can be applied to the Christian life as a whole, where believers are called to wait for the return of Christ. This eschatological waiting is marked by vigilance, readiness, and a commitment to living according to God's will, as seen in passages like Matthew 25:13: "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

Practical Application

In practical terms, the call to tarry can be seen in the life of prayer and devotion. Believers are encouraged to wait upon the Lord, seeking His guidance and strength in times of uncertainty. This waiting is not passive but involves active engagement in spiritual disciplines, community life, and service, all while trusting in God's perfect timing.

Overall, the biblical concept of tarrying underscores the importance of patience, faith, and obedience in the believer's journey, reminding Christians of the value of waiting on the Lord and His promises.
