Fall (2) - FALL. —The various questions suggested in regard to the relation of the
Fall to Jesus Christ may be treated under the following heads:...
i. The Messianic element in the story of the
Fall. The
Fall in its bearing on the work of Christ in (1) the Incarnation, (2) its redemptive aspects. The
Fall in its bearing on the Person of Christ. Our Lord’s own teaching (or that of the Gospels) on the
Fall. The Messianic element in the story of the
Fall. —It is not within the scope of this Dictionary to discuss the general character of the OT narrative of the
Fall. The
Fall in relation to the work of Christ. —The fact of man’s
Fallen condition, of which the narrative of Genesis 3 is the historical explanation, is the raison d’être of redemption, and thus the
Fall is very closely related to the whole work of Christ at every point. But it is with the effects rather than with the manner or history of the
Fall that the gospel is supremely concerned, and after the story has once for all been given at the beginning of revelation, it is thereafter but little referred to in Scripture, and is scarcely ever brought into direct relation with redemption, except in two classical passages in the writings of St. Our attention will here be confined to those points in which the
Fall comes into more direct relation with the work of Christ, or in which the
Fall of man in Adam and his restoration in Christ serve to illuminate each other. The relation of the
Fall to the Incarnation. ’ The common belief has hitherto been that the whole mission and work of Christ were solely conditioned by the
Fall. The relation of the
Fall to the Incarnation determines the place of the latter in the plan of redemption, and opens up the question whether the Incarnation was subsidiary to the Atonement, or the Atonement a development and modification of the Incarnation. In Christ alone, as the centre and end, is the highest possible for man realized; if this were dependent on the
Fall, then sin would be a ‘felix culpa’ in the most emphatic sense. The question as to the relation of the
Fall to the Incarnation thus resolves itself into that of the place of the
Fall in God’s plan of the world; and we need not hold with hyper-Calvinists that sin was foreordained, in order to believe that the
Fall, foreseen and permitted, enters into an intimate and essential relation to the whole of the Divine plan. The relation of the
Fall to the redemptive work of Christ. —In the distinctively soteriological aspects of Christ’s work, we are brought at once into close relation to the
Fall. ) the reality and general nature of the
Fall, as seen in the light of Redemption; and (ii. ) the main points of detail in which the
Fall and the redeeming work of Christ explain and illustrate each other. ) The doctrine of the
Fall is vital to the Christian system; the reality and general nature of the
Fall, as a great downward and retrograde step in the history of mankind, are confirmed and illustrated by the redemptive work of Christ. The Scripture doctrine of sin as absolute evil; man’s universal sinfulness, helplessness, and state of spiritual death, which form the very basis of Redemption; the representation of mankind as ‘lost,’ ‘alienated’ from God, and yet capable and worthy of being redeemed and restored;—all this, as so abundantly presented and emphasized in connexion with the atoning work of Christ, affords the strongest confirmation of the doctrine that man has
Fallen from a higher condition. Whatever may be said as to the Incarnation (see 1, above), it is clear that the great outstanding fact of the Atonement, with all the suffering and sacrifice which it involved, can only be accounted for at once by the dignity and the degradation of man,—in other words, by the
Fall. ) This is borne out by the more specific teaching in regard to the
Fall in its relation to the work of Christ in
Romans 5:12-21 and
1 Corinthians 15:21-22;
1 Corinthians 15:45-49. In regard to Adam it has been variously held (1) that the relation between him and his posterity was virtually one of identity; mankind sinned in him and therefore share his guilt; (2) that the relation is representative or federal, Adam acting on behalf of his descendants; and (3) that the relation is natural, the evil effects of Adam’s
Fall being communicated to the race through the ordinary channels of heredity. ), based on the one side on God’s free grace, and on the other on believers’ voluntary acceptance of it (
Romans 5:17); and (3) a vital union between Christ and believers by which new life is imparted and the evil effects of the
Fall counteracted (
John 15:1-6 etc. ...
Christ is thus a new beginning for the
Fallen race, a fountain of life and righteousness, as Adam was of death and sin. The
Fall in relation to the Person of Christ. —The
Fall of Adam, as we have seen, introduced into the nature of all descended from him a fatal taint of sin, an insuperable moral disability. The question now before us is, How did Jesus Christ, the new Adam, as a true member of the
Fallen race, escape this evil influence? That Christ in His nature and Person was absolutely free from sin, is one of the clearest and most generally admitted as well as most vital facts of the gospel. (2) It suggests, though it does not fully explain, means by which Christ could become true man and yet be preserved from the hereditary effects of the
Fall. The Teaching of Christ and of the Gospels on the
Fall. —Our Lord makes no reference to the story of the
Fall in all His recorded teaching, His only allusion to our first parents at all being the general statement in connexion with marriage (
Matthew 19:4, Mark 10:6). But the doctrine of the
Fall underlies the whole teaching of Christ on sin and redemption, and is particularly confirmed and illustrated in the following points:...
(1) The universal sinfulness of man. (6) The
Fall may be said to be pictured for us more specifically in the parable of the Prodigal Son (
Luke 15:11 ff. ), and to restore to Divine Sonship (
John 1:12), is founded upon the doctrine of the
Fall and the state of ruin resulting from it, combined with splendid possibilities of restoration through grace. ...

Fall of Man - The history of the
Fall is recorded in Genesis 2,3 . The record of Adam's temptation and
Fall must be taken as a true historical account, if we are to understand the Bible at all as a revelation of God's purpose of mercy. The state therefore to which Adam was reduced by his disobedience, so far as his subjective condition is concerned, was analogous to that of the
Fallen angels. If man had never
Fallen there would have been no opportunity of showing divine mercy. Without the
Fall we should have known nothing of the Cross and the Gospel. This is regarded as an illustration of the wide dissemination of the tradition of the
Fall. The story of the "golden age," which gives place to the "iron age", the age of purity and innocence, which is followed by a time when man becomes a prey to sin and misery, as represented in the mythology of Greece and Rome, has also been regarded as a tradition of the

Fall - It is now generally recognized by scholars that the story of the
Fall in Genesis is to be regarded neither as literal history, as Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Augustine taught, nor as allegory, as Clement and Origen, following Philo, held; but as a myth, common to the Semitic group of religions, in which an attempt is made to explain the origin of the evils from which mankind suffers. Dämonologie, 51-57) comes in his able discussion of the passage, that the mention of Eve in this connexion in a clause introduced by ὡς, makes it necessary to understand the sin into which she was betrayed as similar to that into which the Corinthian Church is, figuratively speaking, in danger of
Falling, namely, unchastity and infidelity to her husband’ (H. Tennant, The
Fall and Original Sin, 1903, p. Paul’s belief, it adds force to his argument for woman’s subordination in
1 Corinthians 15:21-220 ‘Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath
Fallen into transgression. ...
(d) Man’s present racial condition is traced back to Adam’s
Fall (παράπτωμα; Wisdom of Solomon 10:1 ‘Wisdom guarded to the end the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and delivered him out of his own transgression’). Thus disease was made permanent; and the law was in the heart of the people along with the wickedness of the root; so the good departed away, and that which was wicked abode still’;
2 Esdras 4:30 ‘For a grain of evil seed was sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much wickedness hath it brought forth unto this time! and how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come!’; 7:118 ‘O thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was thou that sinned, the evil is not
Fallen on thee alone, but upon all of us that come of thee. But the cor malignum is certainly the yezer hara of the Rabbis, regarded by Pseudo-Ezra, as well as by talmudic writers, as inherent in Adam from the first, and as the cause, not the consequence, of his
Fall. Paul, curiously enough, nowhere appears to make use of the current doctrine of the evil yezer; certainly not in connexion with the
Fall. Paul’s doctrine we must return when dealing with it in detail in the next section; but meanwhile it may be made clear that it is not the assertion of a connexion between Adam’s
Fall and man’s sinfulness which is denied in these passages, but the inference from them that Adam’s
Fall is regarded as the cause of moral depravity, and not merely as its first instance. 137): ‘By the
Fall man came under a curse, is guilty of death, and his right relation to God is rendered difficult. Sin, to which the bent and leaning had already been planted in man by creation, had become a fact; the “evil impulse” (= cor malignum) gained the mastery over mankind, who can only resist it by the greatest efforts; before the
Fall it had had power over him, but no such ascendancy (Uebermacht). Paul does teach that man’s moral nature was changed for the worse by the
Fall, he is not following a clearly expressed and generally accepted Jewish doctrine on the subject. The curse that rests on man since the
Fall is mentioned in
Sirach 40:1 : ‘Great travail is created for many men, and a heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam. There are two passages, however, that seem to teach that man was by nature mortal, and that the
Fall only hastened the process; ‘Adam first sinned and brought untimely death (mortem immaturam) upon all’ (liv. Paul’s doctrine of the
Fall. Paul’s doctrine of the
Fall. … Independently of the
Fall, there must have been progress from an inferior state, the psychic, which he posits as man’s point of departure, to a superior state, the spiritual, foreseen and determined as man’s goal from the first’ (quoted by Findlay, Expositor’s Greek Testament , ‘1 Cor. Paul assigned the yezer hara to the unfallen Adam, as, since the reference in the ‘second man from heaven’ is not to the pre-existent Word, but to the Risen Lord, the contrast is between Adam
Fallen as the source of death to mankind and Christ risen as the fountain of its eternal life. Paul regarded Adam’s position as so inferior morally that the
Fall would to him appear as inevitable. ]'>[6] ) justify any such assumption about the moral defect of man’s state before the
Fall, as it is not a physical, but an ethical, conception, and relates to mankind as it is for man’s present experience, not to any previous state of man. If we cannot, therefore, identify the flesh with the yezer hara of unfallen man, unless we leave in St. Paul’s system the antinomy of a two-fold origin of sinfulness, one individual, the other racial, we are forced to conclude that in some way he did connect the presence of the flesh in sinful mankind with the entrance of sin at the
Fall. He assumes as not needing any proof that man’s sinfulness is the result of Adam’s
Fall. Paul’s own intention warrants in asserting that his doctrine of salvation in Christ rests on, and
Falls to the ground without, his teaching on the
Fall. It is important at the outset of this discussion to assert this consideration, as it will relieve us of the painful anxiety, which many exponents of this passage hitherto have felt and shown, to justify in some sense or another this story of the
Fall, in spite of the origin criticism now assigns to it, as an essential constituent of Christian theology. Tennant, who of modern writers has made this subject specially his own, in his three books, The Origin and Propagation of Sin (1902), The Sources of the Doctrines of the
Fall and Original Sin (1903), and The Concept of Sin (1912), has not only contended against the doctrine of such an inherited tendency, but has also maintained that this idea is not present in St. Paul’s full meaning be expressible in terms of it, as that signified by Bengel’s addition of “in Adam”? Would it not be equally novel to the reader, so far as our knowledge of the thought of that age goes, and more remote from the actual language of the verse and its context?’ (The
Fall and Original Sin, p. And so long as it is not so far pressed as to lose sight of the undeniable connexion between the apostle’s teaching and the somewhat indefinite belief which he inherited from Jewish doctors as to the connexion between the
Fall and human sin and death, it would seem to supply the best key to the thought of this difficult passage’ (The
Fall and original Sin, pp. ...
If it be the case that, as Tennant maintains, Jewish thought assigned the cor malignum or the yezer hara to Adam even before his
Fall as well as to his descendants, and so did not teach a moral corruption of man’s action of a result of the
Fall (see op. Paul’s view of the
Fall and its consequences may have been, seeing that it rests ultimately on a narrative which modern scholarship compels us to regard as a myth, however purified and elevated in the new context given to it in the record of the Divine revelation, and is influenced directly by contemporary Jewish thought, it cannot be regarded as authoritative for our Christian faith, however great may be its historical interest as an instance of the endeavour of a great mind to find a solution for a great problem. The doctrine of the
Fall and modern Christian thought. -Although the writer holds the conviction that it is not necessary for the Christian theologian to try and save as much as he dare of the wreckage of the doctrine of the
Fall, after the storm of literary and historical criticism has passed over it, a few sentences may be added in closing this article as to the relation of modern Christian thought to the doctrine

Serpent -
2 Corinthians 11:3 Hence, as a fruit of the tradition of the
Fall, the serpent all through the East became the emblem of the spirit of evil, and is so pictured even on the monuments of Egypt. It has been supposed by many commentators that the serpent, prior to the
Fall, moved along in an erect attitude. It is quite clear that an erect mode of progression is utterly incompatible with the structure of a serpent; consequently, had the snakes before the
Fall moved in an erect attitude they must have been formed on a different plan altogether. The typical form of the serpent and its mode of progression were in all probability the same before: the
Fall as after it; but subsequent to the
Fall its form and progression were to be regarded with hatred and disgust by all mankind, and thus the animal was cursed above all cattle," and a mark of condemnation was forever stamped upon it
Fall - The
Fall of man is among the first of the portraits in the Bible on the great subject of redemption. ...
By the
Fall he lost this resemblance, and all his faculties became ruined and defiled; yea, his whole nature virtually all sin. (
Romans 8:7) The Psalmist, and after him the apostle Paul, hath given some of the more striking features of
Fallen man, when he saith, "The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand and seek after God. " (
Psalms 14:2-3 with
Romans 3:10-19) Such is the Scripture account of the
Fall. ...
Blessed be He that, by his great undertaking, hath restored our poor nature from the ruins of the
Fall, and by uniting his church, which is his body, to himself, hath given to us a better righteousness than man had before. How precious the thought! So then, our present
Fallen state is not the original state of man, neither is it the final state. In Jesus and his righteousness the injury sustained by the
Fall is more than repaired, and the everlasting welfare of the church, which is his body, eternally secured from all the possibility of loss from an union and oneness with him

Supralapsarians - Persons who hold that God, without any regard to the good or evil works of men, has resolved, by an eternal decree, supra lapsum, antecedently to any knowledge of the
Fall of Adam, and independently of it, to save some and reject others: or, in other words, that God intended to glorify his justice in the condemnation of some, as well as his mercy in the salvation of others; and, for that purpose, decreed that Adam, should necessarily
Fall. ...
The question which he proposes to discuss, is, "Whether men were considered in the mind of God in the decree of election as
Fallen or unfallen, as in the corrupt mass through the
Fall, or in the pure mass of creatureship, previous to it, and as to be created?" There are some who think that the latter, so considered, were the objects of election in the divine mind. These are called Supralapsarians, though of these, some are of opinion that man was considered as to be created or creatable, and others as created but not
Fallen. ...
The decree of the means includes the decree to create men to permit them to
Fall, to recover them out of it through redemption by Christ, to sanctify them by the grace of the Spirit, and completely save them; and which are not to be reckoned as materially many decrees, but as making one formed decree; or they are not to be considered as subordinate, but as co-ordinate means, and as making up one entire complete medium; for it is not to be supposed that God decreed to create man, that he might permit him to
Fall, in order to redeem, sanctify, and save him; but he decreed all this that he might glorify his grace, mercy, and justice. Now, as the glory of God is last in execution, it must be first in intention, wherefore men must be considered in the decree of the end as not yet created and
Fallen; since the creation and permission of sin belong to the decree of the means, which in order of nature is after the decree of the end. And they add to this, that if God first decreed to create man, and suffered him to
Fall, and then out of the
Fall chose some to grace and glory, he must decree to create man without an end, which is to make God to do what no wise man would; for when a man is about to do any thing, he proposes an end, and then contrives and fixes on ways and means to bring about that end

Lamentations, Book of - (lay mehn tay' shuhnss) Twenty-fifth book of Bible preserving mourning over the
Fall of Jerusalem in 587 B. Factors which favor authorship by Jeremiah are the antiquity of the tradition associating him with the book, the similarity in tone between Lamentations and portions of Jeremiah's book (Jeremiah 8-9 ;Jeremiah 8-9;14-15 ), and a similar perspective in Lamentations and Jeremiah as to the cause of the
Fall of Jerusalem (for example,
Lamentations 1:2-18 ;
Lamentations 2:14 ;
Lamentations 4:13-17 ;
Jeremiah 2:18 ;
Jeremiah 14:7 ;
Jeremiah 16:10-12 ;
Jeremiah 23:11-40 ;
Jeremiah 37:5-10 ). In either case the author was surely an eyewitness of the
Fall of Jerusalem.
Lamentations 4:1 vividly pictures the horrors of the siege and
Fall of Jerusalem and places part of the blame for the judgment on the immoral prophets and priests of the city
Apostasy - (a pahss' tuh ssee) is the act of rebelling against, forsaking, abandoning, or
Falling away from what one has believed. ...
Old Testament The Old Testament speaks of “falling away” in terms of a person's deserting to a foreign king (
2 Kings 25:11 ;
Jeremiah 37:13-14 ;
Jeremiah 39:9 ;
Jeremiah 52:15 ). Still God's
Fallen people had hope. The Spirit had explicitly revealed this
Falling away from the faith (
1 Timothy 4:1 ). ...
Associated New Testament concepts include the parable of the soils, in which Jesus spoke of those who believe for a while but “fall away” in time of temptation (
Luke 8:13 ). Hebrews speaks of
Falling away from the living God because of “an evil heart of unbelief” (
1 Timothy 3:12 ). Those who
Fall away cannot be renewed again to repentance (
Hebrews 6:6 ). Yet God is able to keep the believer from
Falling (
Jude 1:24 ). Based on the concept of God's sovereign grace, some hold that, though true believers may stray, they will never totally
Fall away. Others affirm that any who
Fall away were never really saved. ...
Persons worried about apostasy should recognize that conviction of sin in itself is evidence that one has not

Fall comprehends in it the great promise of a Deliverer (
Genesis 3:15 ), the "first gospel" message to man
Innocence - ...
Innocence in a comparative sense may be attributed to men who, though
Fallen, are yet, in respect of particular sins, innocent, or who from circumstances of upbringing, or by the special grace of God, are shielded from that knowledge of sin by personal experience which is the common lot of men. If John the Baptist, in whose life no
Fall is recorded, the essence of whose career is one unbroken record of devotion to the service of God, be taken as a type of innocence, he is pre-eminently the stern masculine type of character, and he displays great knowledge of men and power of dealing with the varied temptations of soldiers, publicans, and professors of religion. Innocence possesses an intuitive perception of right and wrong, observable in the child, which becomes blunted by the indulgence of sin; it also implies a strength which is lost by a
Fall. Each successive lapse from innocence makes the soul weaker in that particular direction in which the
Fall has taken place

The
Fall disrupted God's intended order for creation and for humankind (
Genesis 3:16-19 ). As a result of the
Fall, humankind has become absolutely sinful. That creation order was disrupted by the
Fall, but it was not destroyed. Although the
Fall corrupted human nature and predisposed people to turn away from God, Christ's work on the cross has made it possible for redeemed humankind to turn toward God and partake of his divine nature once again. Similarly, although creation suffers under the curse of the
Fall, it too looks forward to the restoration of the original creation order
Fall of Man - In addition to what is stated on this subject under the article Adam, it may be necessary to establish the literal sense of the account given of man's
Fall in the book of Genesis. The first is, that the account of the
Fall of the first pair is a part of a continuous history. As this, then, is the case, and the evidence of it lies upon the very face of the history, it is, clear, that if the account of the
Fall be excerpted from the whole narrative as allegorical, any subsequent part, from Abel to Noah, from Noah to Abraham, from Abraham to Moses, may be excerpted for the same reason, which reason is merely this, that it does not agree with the theological opinions of the interpreter; and thus the whole of the Pentateuch may be rejected history, and converted into fable. Either then the account of the
Fall must be taken as history, or the historical character of the whole five books of Moses must be unsettled; and if none but infidels will go to the latter consequence, then no one who admits the Pentateuch to be a true history generally, can consistently refuse to admit the story of the
Fall of the first pair to be a narrative of real events, because it is written in the same style, and presents the same character of a continuous record of events. This point is examined and satisfactorily refuted in Holden's learned and excellent work, entitled, "Dissertation on the
Fall of Man;" but it is easy to show, that it would amount to nothing, if granted, in the mind of any who is satisfied on the previous question of the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. For let it be admitted that Moses, in writing the pentateuchal history, availed himself of the traditions of the patriarchal ages, a supposition not in the least inconsistent with his inspiration or with the absolute truth of his history, since the traditions so introduced have been authenticated by the Holy Spirit; or let it be supposed, which is wholly gratuitous, that he made use of previously existing documents; and that some differences of style in his books may be traced which serve to point out his quotations, which in a position that some of the best Hebraists have denied; yet two things are to be noted: first, that the inspired character of the books of Moses is authenticated by our Lord and his Apostles, so that they must necessarily be wholly true, and free from real contradictions; and, secondly, that to make it any thing to their purpose who contend that the account of the
Fall in an older document, introduced by Moses, it ought to be shown that it is not written as truly in the narrative style, even if it could be proved to be, in some respects, a different style, as that which precedes and follows it. There is no reason to doubt but that this passage refers to the
Fall and the first sin of man. Why not clean? Did God make woman or man unclean at the beginning? If he did, the expostulation would have been more apposite, and much stronger, had the true cause been assigned, and Job had said, "How canst thou expect cleanness in man, whom thou createdst unclean?" But, as the case now stands, the expostulation has a plain reference to the introduction of vanity and corruption by the sin of the woman, and is an evidence that this ancient writer was sensible of the evil consequences of the
Fall upon the whole race of man. If the history of the
Fall, as recorded by Moses, were an allegory, or any thing but a literal history, several of the above allusions would have no meaning; but the matter is put beyond all possible doubt in the New Testament, unless the same culpable liberties be taken with the interpretation of the words of our Lord and of St. " When, therefore, it is considered, that these passages are introduced, not for rhetorical illustration, or in the way of classical quotation, but are made the basis of grave and important reasonings, which embody some of the most important doctrines of the Christian revelation, and of important social duties and points of Christian order and decorum; it would be to charge the writers of the New Testament with the grossest absurdity, nay, with even culpable and unworthy trifling, to suppose them to argue from the history of the
Fall as a narrative, when they knew it to be an allegory. For the effect of the

Falling, then this choice, this union, his death and intercession, may all be in vain, and rendered abortive; an idea as derogatory to the divine glory, and as dishonourable to Jesus Christ, as possibly can be. To this it is answered, that some of these texts do not so much as suppose the
Falling away of a truly good man; and to all of them, it is said, that they only show what would be the consequence if such should
Fall away; but cannot prove that it ever in fact happens. It is foretold as a future event that some should
Fall away,
Matthew 24:12-13 . It is objected that many have in fact
Fallen away, as David, Solomon, Peter, Alexander, Hymeneus, &c. to which it is answered, that David, Solomon, and Peter's
Fall, were not total; and as to the others, there is no proof of their ever being true Christians
Fall of Man - And thus it appears possible, how, notwithstanding the divine image with which man is adorned, he might
Fall; for though included in it knowledge, it did not exclude from it confused notions, which are those arising from sense and imagination, especially when off our guard and inattentive, blindly following the present impression. In the
Fall of man we may observe, ...
1. Infidels, however, have treated the account of the
Fall and its effects, with contempt, and considered the whole as absurd; but their objections to the manner have been ably answered by a variety of authors; and as to the effects, one would hardly think any body could deny. For, that man is a
Fallen creature, is evident, if we consider his misery as an inhabitant of the natural world; the disorders of the globe we inhabit, and the dreadful scourges with which it is visited; the deplorable and shocking circumstances of our birth; the painful and dangerous travail of women; our natural uncleanliness, helplessness, ignorance, and nakedness; the gross darkness in which we naturally are, both with respect to God and a future state; the general rebellion of the brute creation against us; the various poisons that lurk in the animal, vegetable, and mineral world, ready to destroy us: the heavy curse of toil and sweat to which we are liable; the innumerable calamities of life, and the pangs of death

Fallen angels (
2 Peter 2:4 ) or a bottomless abyss for Satan during the millennium (
Revelation 20:1-3 )
Preacher: to Avoid a Lofty Style - Both the jets, and the basin into which they
Fall, are above the reach of any man of ordinary stature; yet the fountain was intended to supply the public with water, and it fulfils its design by a method which we never saw in use before; every person brings a spout or trough with him long enough to reach the top of the fountain and bring the water down into his pitcher

pi-Hahiroth - The name, however, sufficiently explains the situation of the children of Israel; who were hemmed in at this place, between the sea in front, and a narrow mountain pass behind; which no doubt encouraged Pharaoh to make his attack upon them in so disadvantageous a position; thinking that they must inevitably
Fall an easy prey into his hands, or be cut to pieces: when their deliverance, and his own destruction, were unexpectedly wrought by the parting of the waters of the sea

Lydda - After the
Fall of the holy city it became one of the refuges of Rabbinical learning. His relics were taken to Lydda, and round his name was gradually woven a tissue of legend, in which the Greek myth of Perseus and Andromeda (see Joppa), the Moslem idea of Elijah (or alternatively of Jesus) as the destined destroyer of the Impostor (al-dajjâl) or Antichrist, and the old Hebrew story of the
Fall of Dagon before the ark, were all inextricably intertwined, till Lydda became the shrine of St

Enoch - 622, and being contemporary with Adam, he had every opportunity of learning from him the story of the creation, the circumstance of the
Fall, the terms of the promise, and other important truths. The intent of the Apostle, in the discourse containing this passage, is, to show that there has been but one way of obtaining the divine favour ever since the
Fall, and that is, by faith, or a firm persuasion and confidence in the atonement to be made for human transgressions by the obedience, sufferings, death, and resurrection of the promised Messiah
Satan - 180, the origin of the demons is traced to the
Fall of the angelic watchers, the ‘sons of God’ who corrupted themselves with the ‘daughters of men’ (
Genesis 3:1-24 f. 64, ‘the
Fallen watchers’ (and their descendants) are carefully distinguished from the Satans, who apparently belong to ‘a counter kingdom of evil’ which existed before the
Fall of the watchers recorded in
Genesis 6:1 , the latter, in consequence of their
Fall, becoming subject to the former. ), where, moreover, satanology shows a rich development (the pride, revolt, and
Fall of Satan are dwelt upon).
Fall. The ‘angels which kept not their first estate’ (
Judges 1:6 ,
2 Peter 2:4 ) are the angelic watchers whose
Fall through lust is described in Enoch 6 16. In Enoch the demons, who are represented as the evil spirits which went forth from the souls of the giant offspring of the
Fallen watchers, exercise an evil activity, working moral ruin on the earth till the final judgment. also
Ephesians 6:12 and
Luke 10:13 ‘I beheld Satan
Fallen as lightning from heaven ’)
Sexuality, Human - Foundations This essay is based on the following premises: (1) Those functions founded in the unfallen created order that God proclaimed good (
Genesis 1:31 ) may be seen as normative for matters touching theological ethics. (2) Sin came as a result of the
Fall, introducing a distortion of the created order and fostering enmity and alienation where none had previously existed. (5) Redemption attempts to remove or rectify the alienation introduced by the
Fall, restoring humankind to fellowship with God (
Romans 5:12-21 ;
Ephesians 2:1-22 ) and with itself (
Isaiah 2:1-5 ;
Micah 4:1-7 ). ...
Accordingly, since narratives of Eden before the
Fall picture the unsullied created order as God ordained it, they become normative and prescriptive; hence the way that unfallen man interfaced with woman should provide a working model for male/female relationships in the community of the redeemed. Narratives of
Fallen humanity (such as the stories of Samson's womanizing or Solomon's polygyny) are descriptive and provide information about what was, but not always about what ought to have been. Jesus, untainted by the
Fall (
Hebrews 4:15 ), lived the only unfallen life since humanity's banishment from Eden. The way that Jesus, the "second Adam, " related to women should, like that of unfallen Adam, provide a model for intersexual relationships. As can be demonstrated by the overt parallels between Eden and the New Jerusalem portrayed in Revelation 21-22 , the world to come (the eschaton) will be established as a postfallen order with the effects of the
Fall fully negated. Commands, teachings, laws, and institutions that are designed to move one from a
Fallen to a postfallen (redeemed) state or community are redemptive and therefore prescriptive, although care must be taken to distinguish the spirit from the letter in their application (
Mark 9:47 ). Further, since Adam transmits it to his progeny (
Genesis 5:1-3 ), it is likewise clear that the image of God (imago Dei ) was not lost in the
Fall. ...
Those who see women as inherently inferior to men often appeal to the specific account of the creation of woman (
Genesis 2:18,20-22 ) as shedding further light on the relationship that existed between the sexes in their unfallen state: woman, they maintain, is a secondary creation, a mere "helpmeet" to the man. Such distinctions are not a product of the
Fall to be redeemed, therefore, but a part of the created order to be nurtured. ...
Male/female relationships before the
Fall are described in
Genesis 2:25 : although they were naked, they felt no shame. But when sin entered with the
Fall, resulting in banishment from Eden (
Genesis 3:24 ), shame came with it also; a barrier was erected to the sort of naive innocence that had characterized the relationship previously. It was only after the
Fall that God said to the woman, "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you" (
Matthew 15:22-289 ). Likewise, it was after the
Fall that Adam named his wife Eve, using the same naming formula (
Genesis 3:20 ) as he used in naming the animals (2:20), and by its use implying the same authority of a superior over an inferior. ...
To summarize: the creation texts make it clear that any pattern of absolute male dominance and female inferiority found in the Bible must result from the
Fall, not from a theology of the created order. The process of redemption taught by the Bible is clear: it seeks to restore humanity, and with it creation (
Romans 8:19-22 ), from the effects of the
Fall. If, therefore, man's dominion over woman is a consequence of the
Fall (
Genesis 3:16 ), one of the ramifications of the gospel would be to abolish institutions such as concubinage that reduce her to a chattel
Lazarus - Poor Lazarus sat outside the mansion of the nameless rich man to receive whatever food might

Fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, "
Hebrews 6:4-6 . The Novatians did not deny but a person
Falling into any sin, how grievous soever, might obtain pardon by repentance; for they themselves recommended repentance in the strongest terms; but their doctrine was, that the church had it not in its power to receive sinners into its communion, as having no way of remitting sins but by baptism: which once received could not be repeated

Fall again under the dominion of sin? Reformed theologians have maintained that the sinner redeemed by grace has been delivered once-for-all from bondage to sin. For such (elect) individuals, consequently, backsliding does not entail a
Fall from grace, whereby one is placed once more under sin's dominion. In the teachings of Christ and his apostles the people of God are exhorted to persevere in righteousness and holiness, so as not to
Fall under divine condemnation. Accordingly, the angel of the church in Ephesus warns those who have forsaken their first love: "Remember the height from which you have
Fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first" (

NOTE: Overlapping dates of kings such as between Uzziah and Jotham result from coregencies, that is, a father installing his son as king during the father's lifetime and allowing the son to exercise royal power
Genesis, the Book of - It is a religious history, therefore it omits accounts in detail of other nations, and concentrates attention on the origin of that one from whom the promised Redeemer of man from the deadly consequences of the
Fall (which is detailed at the beginning) sprang. While a bare catalogue is given of whole genealogies of nations, minute details are given of the godly patriarchs in the line of the promised Savior, for these details are of more everlasting moment to us than the rise and
Fall of the mightiest empires. ...
Thus Adam's history before and in the
Fall is minutely given, as affecting the whole race whom he represented; but after the
Fall only a few brief notices, but these of important bearing on mankind's spiritual prospects (
Genesis 3:20-24;
Genesis 4:1;
Genesis 5:1-5). Traditions of widely separated nations over the earth retain fragments of the account of the
Fall, the tree, the serpent, the first pair, the flood

Eutychus - Eutychus, who was sealed at the window, fell asleep, and,
Falling down from the third story, was ‘taken up dead ‘(ἤρθη νεκρός). Some suppose that the youth was only stunned by his

Life: Power of the Inner - His genial inhabitation thaws that soul and its favourite sins asunder, and makes the indolence and self-indulgence and indevotion

Will - When man was created, he had liberty and power to do what was pleasing in the sight of God; but by the
Fall, he lost all ability of will to any spiritual good; nor has he any will to that which is good until divine grace enlightens the understanding and changes the heart. "This being understood, it is easy to perceive that man in his

Fall
Dan - It was one of the first parts of Israel to
Fall when Assyria conquered the land and took the people into captivity (
2 Kings 15:29)
Adder - ' It lies in holes or ruts and darts upon an animal passing: and this well agrees with the above text, where Dan is compared to "an adder in the path that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall
Fall backward:" typical of apostasy and the power of Satan
Church: Her Glory in Tribulation - One will at a certain hour of a bright day be surprised to see a rainbow making an entire circle, surrounding the
Fall like a coronet of gems, or a ring set with all the brilliants of the jeweller. ...
We lingered long watching the flashing crystal, dashed and broken upon a hundred craggy rocks, and tossed into the air in sheets of foam, to
Fall in wreaths of spray; we should not have tired for hours if we could have tarried to admire the harmonious hues of that wheel within a wheel,...
'Of colours changing from the splendid rose, ...
To the pale violet's dejected hue;' ...
but we were on a journey, and were summoned to advance. When, at any time, our forebodings foretell the coming of evil times for the church, let us remember that before the Spirit revealed to the beloved disciple the terrible beasts, the thundering trumpets, the
Falling stars, and the dreadful vials, he bade him mark with attention that the covenant rainbow was round about the throne
Obadiah, Book of - Its central section,
Obadiah 1:10-14 , deals with the
Fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586 B. The
Fall of Edom was to trigger this eschatological event in which order would be restored to an unruly world. ...
The Meaning Like the Book of Revelation, which proclaims the downfall of the persecuting Roman Empire, the aim of Obadiah is to sustain faith in God's moral government and hope in the eventual triumph of His just will
Amos, Book of - Hosea's prophecy is confined to the sins of Judah and Israel, whereas Amos tells of the judgements that should
Fall upon some of the surroundingnations that had molested Israel, especially upon those that retained any part of the land that had been promised to Abraham; and then he recounts the sins, not only of Judah to which he himself belonged, but also of Israel, indeed there is more concerning the latter than the former. Judgements should
Fall upon Amaziah and Israel shouldgo into captivity
Mennonites - Gan, of Ryswick, they believe that in the
Fall man lost his innocence, and that all his posterity are born with a natural propensity to evil, and with fleshly inclinations, and are exposed to sickness and death. The posterity of Adam derive no moral guilt from his
Fall: sin is personal, and the desert of punishment cannot be inherited
Throne - John, we find the twenty-four elders sitting upon as many thrones in the presence of the Lord; "and they

Simeon Stylites - Some such structure must have been there, not only to prevent his
Fall, but also for him to write the epistles he sent broadcast to emperors, bishops, and councils on all pressing questions. The people of Antioch piteously reminded Leo, "Forasmuch as our city is without walls, for we have been visited in wrath by their

Eve - Some detect evidence of male headship in the prefall narrative (e. Others suggest the idea of man's subjugation of woman is introduced only after the
Fall when God describes the various forms of humiliation, enmity, pain, and drudgery that result from human rebellion against him (3:14-19). ...
The woman's role in the narrative about the
Fall is significant, not least because it is she who has the exchange with the serpent, the agent of temptation. ...
The only positive prospect mentioned by God as he spells out the
Fall's consequences is that, in the context of the ongoing enmity between the woman and her offspring, on the one hand, and the serpent and his offspring, on the other, the woman's offspring will dominate the serpent's (3:15). Hiebert...

Bibliography
Antichrist - A late writer, after collecting the principal prophecies relating to antichrist, infers from them that a power, sometimes represented as the little horn, the man of sin, the antichrist, the beast, the harlot, the star
Falling from heaven, the false prophet, the dragon, or as the operation of false teachers, was to be expected to arise in the Christian world to persecute and oppress, and delude the disciples of Christ, corrupt the doctrine of the primitive church, enact new laws, and establish its dominion over the minds of mankind. This was likewise the opinion of the first reformers; and it was the prevalent opinion of Christians, in the earliest ages, that antichrist would appear soon after the
Fall of the Roman empire. The Papists imagine they view in the prophetical picture of antichrist, imperial Rome, elated by her victories, exulting in her sensuality and her spoils, polluted by idolatry, persecuting the people of God, and finally
Falling like the first Babylon; whilst a new and holy city, represented by their own communion, filled with the spotless votaries of the Christian faith, rises out of its ruins, and the victory of the cross is completed over the temples of Paganism. If the rise of antichrist be not reckoned till he was possessed of secular authority, his
Fall will happen when this power shall be taken away. If his rise began, according to Mede in 456, he must have
Fallen in 1716; if in 606, it must be in 1866; if in 755, in 2015. If, however, we use prophetical years, consisting of three hundred and sixty days, and date the rise of antichrist in the year 755, his
Fall will happen in the year of Christ 2000

Josiah - Nineveh was
Falling, if not already
Fallen. Hence Josiah was permitted, not without culpability on his part, to meddle in the ungodly world's wars, and so to
Fall, and with himself to withdraw the last godly ruler from the people henceforth given over to punishment (
2 Kings 23:25-30). He was buried with every honour, and Jeremiah composed a dirge, annually chanted at Hadadrimmon (not the "Lamentations" over Jerusalem after its
Fall). ...
Antichrist superseding spiritual Babylon appropriately
Falls at Armageddon, i. the hill of Megiddo, the scene of godly Josiah's
Fall through descending to the world's carnal strifes as Babylon's ally (
Revelation 16:14-18); the Jews' future mourning for Him whom they pierced, before God's interposition against all nations confederate against Jerusalem, answers to their mourning for Josiah at Megiddo (
Zechariah 12:10-11). Josiah's greatness harmonizes with the parallel decline and
Fall of Assyria
Hamath - Following the

Magisterium - The Church exercises this teaching power infallibly in matters of faith and morals, in virtue of the promise of Divine assistance given her by Christ, "And behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world" (Matthew 28). The individual bishop as such (the Bishop of Rome, successor of Saint Peter, excepted) is not infallible. When all the bishops in the world agree in their teaching on a particular doctrine of faith or morals, which is not solemnly defined, this constitutes an infallible teaching of the Ecclesia Docens, because the Church as a whole cannot
Fall into error in these matters. The pope enjoys the prerogative of infallibility in his official capacity as successor of Saint Peter, and hence Supreme Pastor of the Church. The faithful are obliged in virtue of the infallible teaching power (magisterium) of the Church Teaching, whether this power is exercised ordinarily or solemnly, to submit their understanding to the teaching of the Church

Fall; the redemption of mankind by Jesus Christ; the justification of sinners; charity and good works; the confidence we ought to have in God; that our sins are remitted; the church and its true marks, its power, its authority, and ministers; the pope and bishops; the sacraments; the mass; the commemoration of saints; their intercession; and prayers for the dead
Abomination of Desolation - It would seem to follow, therefore, that the reference is to some event, portending the
Fall of Jerusalem, which might also be interpreted by the Christians as a premonition of the Parousia (
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 )
Dew - " (

Devil - For any subordinate agent of this kingdom, man or demon, to oppose another agent would be, reasons Christ, a division of Satan against Satan (involving the
Fall of his kingdom), which division Satan would never sanction (
Ephesians 6:12-13). Our Lord speaks of the disciples' casting out of demons as an installment or earnest of the final "fall" of Satan before the kingdom of Christ (
Luke 10:18). There are four gradations in Satan's ever-deepening
Fall. All we know of his original state as an archangel of light is that he lost it through pride and restless ambition, and that he had some special connection, possibly as God's vicegerent over this earth and the animal kingdom; thereby we can understand his connection and that of his subordinate
Fallen angels with this earth throughout Scripture, commencing with his temptation of man to his characteristic sin, ambition to be "as gods knowing good and evil;" only his ambition seems to have been that of power, man's that of knowledge. "...

Hope - These went forth to their labor, and they took with them, to cheer their toils, their well-beloved sister Hope; and well it was they did, for they needed the music of her consolation ere the work was done, for the forest trees were huge and demanded many sturdy blows of the axe ere they would

Will chance fit means to ends, and that in ten thousand instances, and not fail in any one? How often might a man, after he had jumbled a set of letters in a bag, fling them out upon the ground, before they would
Fall into an exact poem; yea, or so much as make a good discourse in prose? And may not a little book be as easily made by chance as the great volume of the world? How long might a man be in sprinkling colours upon canvass with a careless hand, before they would happen to make the exact picture of a man? And is a man easier made by chance than his picture? How long might twenty thousand blind men, who should be sent out from several remote parts of England, wander up and down before they would all meet upon Salisbury plain, and

Fall upon this guilty world, when the vials of His fury are poured out: cf. His judgement

the blessed morsel, consisting of a piece of cheese and bread which the accused must swallow, if he was to have his innocence established
the suspended loaf, a loaf of bread, through which a stick of wood was passed and placed in an opening made in another piece of wood, so that it could turn, and a person was considered guilty if it turned from west to east
the examen in mensuris (Latin: trial by ballot), seldom practised, an ordeal probably decided by lot or by the measuring of the accused by a stick of determined length
bleeding, in which ordeal, a person suspected of murder was forced to look upon the wounds of the victim, and if these began to bleed afresh, his guilt was supposed to have been proven
The Christian missionaries and Churchmen generally were somewhat tolerant of the ordeals, excepting the duel

Aphthartodocetae, a Sect of the Monophysites - This whole question is rather one of scholastic subtlety, though not wholly idle, and may be solved in this way: that the body of Christ, before the Resurrection, was similar in its constitution to the body of Adam before the

Fall of Jerusalem with this day, and all such interpretations must be read into it
Gallus (11), Abbat, the Apostle of Switzerland - The sermon he preached at John's consecration is extant in Latin—a wonderful specimen of Irish erudition, simple yet full of vigour, learned and devout, giving an abstract of the history of God's dealings from the creation, of the

The question is then, What, or whom, did they represent?

Fallen nature, as represented in those characters united with the manhood of Christ. By which I apprehend, the sense of the expression is, not to keep from, but to keep to, the way of the tree of life; meaning, that poor
Fallen man now had no access but by this way. " (
John 14:6) Hence it should seem, that by these cherubic figures, among which the face of a man formed a part, immediately at the

Fall, the - The word "fall" is widely used to refer to what is recorded in Genesis 3 , particularly to what is written of the temptation of Adam and Eve, their being overcome by it, and their immediate reactions after they became aware of the consequences (3:1-8). Passages such as
Romans 5:12-19,1 Corinthians 15:21-22 , and
1 Timothy 2:12-13 definitely refer to the

Matthew 23:35;
Matthew 23:38). A discussion of the punishment resulting from that judgment does not
Fall within the scope of the present article, and the reader is therefore referred to the separate study on Eternal Punishment. Instead of seeking to dogmatize on what does not at present

Coming Again - In the solemn discourse on the future recorded in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, there are certain passages which, as usually interpreted, convey the impression that the destruction of Jerusalem and the
Fall of the Jewish State was one such momentous crisis that Jesus had particularly in view (

In one of William Law's finest dialogues Theophilus asks his pupil Humanus how he would set about convincing a man of his
Fallen estate. This is the sure and infallible proof of the
Fall of man. The
Fall of man is not a thing to be learnt from any history whatsoever, but shows itself everywhere and every day and in every man with as much clearness as we see the sun. My first attempt, therefore, upon any man, to convince him of Adam's
Fall as the ground of Christ's redemption, should be an attempt to do that for him which affliction, disappointment, sickness, pain, and the approach of death have a natural tendency to do; that is, to convince him of the vanity, poverty, and misery of his life and condition in this world. I would appeal at first to nothing but his own nature and condition in this world to demonstrate this capital truth of Holy Scripture that all mankind lie in a
Fallen state. Death comes to us with overwhelming proofs of our
Fall in his hands. ...

Calvinists - They maintain that God hath chosen a certain number of the
Fallen race of Adam in Christ, before the foundation of the world, unto eternal glory, according to his immutable purpose, and of his free grace and love, without at least foresight of faith, good works, or any conditions performed by the creature; and that the rest of mankind he was pleased to pass by, and ordain to dishonour and wrath, for their sins, to the praise of his vindictive justice. ...
For it was the most free counsel, and gracious will and intention of God the Father, that the quickening and saving efficacy of the most precious death of his Son should exert itself in all the elect, to give unto them only justifying faith, and by it to conduct them infallibly to salvation; that is, it was the will of God that Christ, by the blood of the cross, whereby he confirmed the new covenant, should efficaciously redeem out of every people, tribe, nation, and language, all those, and those only, who were from eternity elected to salvation, and given to him by the Father. They maintain that mankind are totally depraved, in consequence of the
Fall of the first man, who, being their public head, his sin involved the corruption of all his posterity, and which corruption extends over the whole soul, and renders it unable to turn to God, or to do any thing truly good, and exposes it to his righteous displeasure, both in this world and that which is to come. "Such as man was after the
Fall, such children did he beget...
corruption by the righteous judgment of God being derived from Adam to his posterity...
not by imitation, but by the propagation of a vicious nature. Lastly: They maintain that those whom God has effectually called, and sanctified by his Spirit, shall never finally
Fall from a state of grace. They admit that true believers may
Fall partially, and would
Fall totally and finally but for the mercy and faithfulness of God, who keepeth the feet of his saints; also, that he who bestoweth the grace of perseverance, bestoweth it by means of reading and hearing the word, meditation, exhortations, threatenings, and promises; but that none of these things imply the possibility of a believer's
Falling from a state of justification. ...

Falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever, Amen

Very little rain ever
Falls in Egypt, never sufficient to fertilize the land; and but for the provision of this bountiful river, the country would be condemned to perpetual sterility. It is now known, that the sources, or permanent springs, of the Nile are situated in the mountains of Abyssinia, and the unexplored regions to the west and south-west of that country; and that the occasional supplies, or causes of the inundation, are the periodical rains which
Fall in those districts. Although the Nile, by way of eminence, has been called "the river of Egypt," it must not be confounded with another stream so denominated in Scripture, an insignificant rivulet in comparison, which

Daniel - The Assyrian, the Persian, the Grecian, and the Roman empires, are all particularly described under appropriate characters; and it is expressly declared that the last of them was to be divided into ten lesser kingdoms; the time at which Christ was to appear is precisely fixed; the rise and

Calvinism - How the passage may be proved from its context to have no respect to the eternal state of men at all; but, if that were less obvious, it gives no answer to the objection; and we are brought round again, as indeed he confesses, to his former, and indeed only, argument, that the whole matter as he states it, is to be referred back to the divine will; which will, though perfectly arbitrary, is, as he contends, the highest rule of justice: "I say, with Augustine, that the Lord created those whom he certainly foreknew would
Fall into destruction; and that this was actually so, because he willed it; but of his will, it belongs not to us to demand the reason, which we are incapable of comprehending; nor is it reasonable, that the divine will should be made the subject of controversy with us, which is only another name for the highest rule of justice. —Man, therefore,
Falls according to the appointment of divine providence; but he
Falls by his own fault. By his own wickedness, therefore, man corrupted the nature he had received pure from the Lord, and by his
Fall he drew all his posterity with him to destruction. That he might not
Fall, he stood in need of that strength and constancy with which God armeth all the elect, as long as he will keep them blameless. " This last writer, partly by several of the same passages we have given above from Calvin's Institutes, and by extracts from his other writings, proves that Calvin did by no means consider man, as
Fallen, to be the object of reprobation; but man not yet created; man as to be created, and so reprobated, under no consideration in the divine mind of his
Fall or actual guilt, except as consequences of an eternal preterition of the persons of the reprobate, resolvable only into the sovereign pleasure of God. But election is the immutable purpose of God; by which, before the foundations of the world were laid, he chose, out of the whole human race,
Fallen by their own fault from their primeval, integrity into sin and destruction, according to the most free good pleasure of his own will, and of mere grace, a certain number of men, neither better nor worthier than others, but lying in the same misery with the rest, to salvation in Christ; whom he had, even from eternity, constituted Mediator and head of all the elect, and the foundation of salvation; and therefore he decreed to give them unto him to be saved, and effectually to call and draw them into communion with him, by his word and Spirit; or he decreed himself to give unto them true faith, to justify, to sanctify, and at length powerfully to glorify them, &c,
Ephesians 1:4-6 ;
Romans 8:30 . But in like manner as, by the
Fall, man does not cease to be man, endowed with intellect and will; neither hath sin, which hath pervaded the whole human race, taken away the nature of the human species, but it hath depraved and spiritually stained it; so that even this divine grace of regeneration does not act upon men like stocks and trees, nor take away the properties of his will; or violently compel it, while unwilling; but it spiritually quickens, heals, corrects, and sweetly, and at the same time powerfully, inclines it; so that whereas before it was wholly governed by the rebellion and resistance of the flesh, now prompt and sincere obedience of the Spirit may begin to reign; in which the renewal of our spiritual will, and our liberty, truly consist; in which manner, (or for which reason,) unless the admirable Author of all good should work in us, there could be no hope to man of rising from the
Fall by that free will, by which, when standing, he fell into ruin. God, who is rich in mercy, from his immutable purpose of election, does not wholly take away his Holy Spirit from his own, even in lamentable
Falls; nor does he so permit them to glide down, ( prolabi, ) that they should
Fall from the grace of adoption, and the state of justification; or commit the ‘sin unto death,' or against the Holy Spirit; that, being deserted by him, they should cast themselves headlong into eternal destruction. So that not by their own merits or strength, but by the gratuitous mercy of God, they obtain it, that they neither totally
Fall from faith and grace, nor finally continue in their
Falls and perish

How did the agriculture of Egypt differ from that of Canaan? The essential difference between Egyptian and Canaanite agriculture was that Canaan depended on rainfall (
Deuteronomy 11:11 ), while Egypt depended on the River Nile and its annual flood (
Amos 8:8 ). In July the Nile rose following rainfall in Ethiopia and flooded the land on both sides. In
Isaiah 5:1-7 and
Genesis 27:28 we read how the hillside was fenced and terraced to provide deep stone-free soil where the rainfall could water the vines' roots in winter

The meaning of

James 2:18). The Seer beholds the stars of heaven

The arenas of such divine intersection extend from individual lives to the rise and

Hell - Since death is not a natural occurrence but issues from the

Lucianus, Priest of Antioch, Martyr - During the controversies after the deposition of Paulus, Lucian seems to have
Fallen under suspicion. Christians a martyrdom like his would more than atone for his early
Fall
Valerianus, Emperor - Gallienus, immediately after his father's captivity, stopped the persecution, but it probably lasted in the East till the
Fall of Macrianus, who had assumed the purple in 262
Millenarians - It is, I conceive, to these great events, the
Fall of antichrist, the reestablishment of the Jews, and the beginning of the glorious millennium, that the three different dates in Daniel, of twelve hundred and sixty years, twelve hundred and ninety years, and thirteen hundred and thirty-five years, are to be referred. "
Psalms 22:27 ; yea, all kings shall
Fall down before him, "all nations shall serve him,"
Psalms 72:11 . He is speaking of Israel in a literal sense, the natural posterity of Abraham; for he distinguishes them both from the believing Gentiles and the Jewish converts of his time, and describes them as the rest who were blinded, had stumbled and
Fallen, and so had not obtained, but were broken off and cast away,
Romans 11:7 ;
Romans 11:11-12 ;
Romans 11:15 ;
Romans 11:17 . Yet he denies that they have stumbled that they should
Fall, that is, irrecoverably, so as in no future period to be restored; but shows that God's design in permitting this was, that through their
Fall salvation might come unto the Gentiles, and that this again might provoke them to jealousy or emulation,
Romans 11:11 . He argues that if their
Fall and diminishing was the riches of the Gentiles, and the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, their fulness will be much more so, and the receiving of them be life from the dead,
Romans 11:12 ;
Romans 11:15 . It is intimated that there will be such visible tokens of the divine presence and residence among them as will
Fall under the notice of the world, and produce conviction and awe, as was in some measure the case in the first churches,
Acts 2:47 ;
Acts 5:11 ;
Acts 5:13 ; 1 Corinthians
Sarah - Chaldea, and Canaan, and Egypt; Hagar and Ishmael; the promise of Isaac, and then the birth, the circumcision, the sacrifice, and the deliverance of Isaac; all the trials and all the triumphs of his father's and his mother's faith; all their
Falls; all their victories; all God's promises, and all His wonderful and adorable providences in their so exercised lives; all their attainments in truth and in obedience; and then, to crown all, the complete fulfilment of God's so long delayed promise-all that, and much more that has not been told-it all arose out of this, that Sarah had no child. Like Sarah, I
Fall into sore temptations between the Divine promise on the one hand, and my own evil heart on the other hand. Not Adam before his
Fall; not Enoch, who so pleased God; not Abraham at his call, or after offering his son; not Jacob at Bethel, nor Israel at the Jabbok; not Moses on the mount and in the cleft rock; not Isaiah in the temple, and not John in the spirit-not the best and the most blessed of them all was more blessed or better blessed than was Hagar the polluted outcast on her weeping way to Shur.
Fall down and weep. When thou didst
Fall His hand held thee up
Achan - Nothing demoralises an army like sacking a
Fallen city. And the swift and heavy
Fall of Joshua's hand on that one man must have still more consolidated Joshua's authority, and transformed his wilderness hosts into true soldiers, where other soldiers would have been thieves and robbers. For, what is the
Fall of Jericho to them in that tent when it has cost them the life of their husband, their father, and their master? When the door of that tent is suddenly lifted, and the face of a corpse comes in, takes a spade, and buries a strange burden in the earth in the midst of the astounded tent. Had God seen it to be good to make men and women in some way without eyes, the
Fall itself would have been escaped. ' Yes, it is as certain as God's truth and righteousness are certain, that the mortified man who goes about with his eyes out; the man who steals along the street seeing neither smile nor frown; he who keeps his eyes down wherever men and women congregate,-in the church, in the market-place, at a railway-station, on a ship's deck, at an inn table,-where you will; that man escapes multitudes of temptations that more open and more full-eyed men and women continually
Fall before
Ebionism - After the
Fall of Jerusalem, just as Judaism became more intolerant and more exclusive, so we may suppose this judaizing sect followed suit, and, retiring more and more from fellowship with the Church at large, and seeking to strengthen their own position, they by degrees formulated the system we have described. ...
The siege and
Fall of Jerusalem were events of the greatest importance for Judaism (see article Pharisees) and Jewish Christianity alike. If, as seems probable, the Order of Essenes was broken up after the
Fall of Jerusalem, it is very likely that many of them would associate with the Ebionites, who held the Law in such esteem, and would be able to impress their own customs on their associates. ...
Gnostic tendencies are still more pronounced in the Ebionism of the Clementine Literature, which, however,
Falls outside the period we are concerned with
Assyria - With this victory commenced the great successes of Nebuchadnezzar and Cyaxares, and it laid the foundation of the two collateral empires of the Babylonians and Medes, which were branches of the Assyrian empire; and hence the time of the
Fall of the Assyrian empire is determined, the conquerors being then in their youth. In the reign of Josiah, when Zephaniah prophesied, Nineveh and the kingdom of Assyria were standing; and their
Fall was predicted by that Prophet,
Zephaniah 1:3 ;
Zephaniah 2:13 . But in the third and fourth years of Jehoiakim, the successor of Josiah, the two conquerors having taken Nineveh, and finished their war in Assyria, prosecuted their conquests westward; and, leading their forces against the king of Egypt, as an invader of their right of conquest, they beat him at Carchemish, and took from him whatever he had recently taken from the Assyrians,
2 Kings 24:7 ;
Jeremiah 46:2 ; "and therefore we cannot err," says Sir Isaac Newton, "above a year or two, if we refer the destruction of Nineveh, and
Fall of the Assyrian empire, to the third year of Jehoiakim," or the hundred and fortieth, or according to Blair, the hundred and forty-first year of Nabonassar; that is, the year B
Church Government - The general development seems fairly clear, though its later stages
Fall beyond NT times. His point is not that the Galatians are mistaken, but that they are altogether
Falling away from Christ; not that the Corinthian is a bad offender, but that the church sees no great harm in the matter. Yet even in the Apostolic age prophecy (
1 Thessalonians 5:20 ) is beginning to
Fall into discredit, and false prophets are flourishing (1 John, 2 Peter, Jude)
Cherub (1) - of Eden (after Adam's
Fall) God placed (yashkeen , 'set as the dwelling place of His Shekinah glory') the Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of life" (
Genesis 3:24). The placing of the man-like Cherub on the inheritance once man's suggested the truth that man and the creatures involved in his
Fall have still by some gracious mystery, of which the Cherubim are the pledge, an interest in Eden
Inheritance - Originally wives, too, as part of the property of the deceased, would
Fall to the possession of the heir-in-chief (cf. ( d ) For the order of succession the rule is laid down in
Numbers 27:8-11 that if a man die without male issue the right of inheritance shall
Fall successively to his daughter, his brothers, his father’s brothers, his next kinsman thereafter
Judge Judging (Ethical) - Paul writes (
Romans 14:4), ‘Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own master he standeth or
Falleth. The meaning is that the saints will be associated with their Lord in the act of judging the world at the Last Day, and their judgment will be exercised not only on the world, but on ‘angels’ (
1 Corinthians 6:3), meaning the hierarchy of evil or
Fallen spirits. Experience deepens the sense of the ignorance and
Fallibility attaching to man’s judgments. The epigram tout connaître c’est tout pardonner is in effect an expression of human helplessness; and the aspiration of David, ‘Let me
Fall now into the hand of the Lord … and let me not
Fall into the hand of man’ (
1 Chronicles 21:13), is really the cry of humanity for ever conscious of the limitations of its own judgments
Agriculture - During the period of growth the crops were exposed to a variety of risks, such as the delay or scanty
Fall of the spring rains (the ‘latter rain’ of the OT,
Amos 4:9 ), blasting by the hot sirocco wind, mildew, hail these three are named together in
Haggai 2:17 ; cf. The corners of the field were left to be reaped, and the
Fallen ears to be gleaned, by the poor and the stranger (
Leviticus 19:9 f. The chaff is carried farthest away (
Psalms 1:4 , the light morsels of straw to a shorter distance, while the heavy grains of wheat or barley
Fall at the winnower’s feet. ), the law that every field must lie
Fallow for one year in seven (
Exodus 23:10 f
Bible, - ...
It is 'the word of God,' an unfolding of unseen things — a revelation of the nature of God morally, and the history, divinely penned, of man His creature, first as innocent, and then as
Fallen, with its consequences. ...
The Bible also reveals the character of Satan since his
Fall, as being a liar and murderer; he is the great enemy of the Lord Jesus and of man, and he deceived our mother Eve. This is followed by the many and varied judgements that will
Fall upon Christendom and the world, reaching to the eternal state of the new heavens and the new earth
Assyria - An inscription also mentions the
Fall of the city. (Sarakos) ?...
Fall of Nineveh ? 606...
The Assyrians were idolaters: from the inscriptions the names of hundreds of gods can be gathered
Hold - It rarely or never signifies the first act of seizing or
Falling on, but the act of retaining a thing when seized or confined. To sustain to keep from
Falling. To hold one's own, to keep good one's present condition not to
Fall off, or to lose ground. To cease raining to cease, as
Falling weather used impersonally. If a man be upon a high place, without a good hold, he is ready to
Fall
Providence - God's providence is concerned in a sparrow's
Fall; His children are of more value than many sparrows, and therefore are assured of His providential care in all their concerns. If no
Fallible beings had been created there could have been no virtue, for virtue implies probation, and probation implies liability to temptation and sin. ) The plagues, earthquakes, drought, flood, frost, and famine subserve ends of providence which we only in part see; and they also suggest to us the need of a providence to control them within appointed bounds, and that without such a providence all nature would
Fall into disorder (
Jeremiah 5:22;
Job 26:7-11;
Job 38:4-14)
Nero, Claudius Caesar - According to his view, as many of the shops near the circus where the fire originated were occupied by Jews, suspicion would
Fall upon them, which would be strengthened by the fact that the Transtiberine, the Ghetto of that time, was one of the few quarters that had escaped the fire. In the days of his prosperity diviners had predicted his
Fall and that he would gain a new dominion in the East and Jerusalem and at last regain the empire ( ib
Doubt - Tragically Eve and Adam bought into his deceptive plan and plunged humankind into the
Fall (vv
Religion - As it respects natural religion, some doubt whether, properly speaking, there can be any such thing; since, through the
Fall, reason is so depraved, that man without revelation is under the greatest darkness and misery, as may be easily seen by considering the history of those nations who are destitute of it, and who are given up to barbarism, ignorance, cruelty, and evils of every kind. It does not tell us how man became a
Fallen sinful creature, as he is, nor how he can be recovered
Micaiah - as sheep that have no shepherd (quoted by the Lord Jesus Himself,
Matthew 9:36, as it is previously the basis of
Ezekiel 34:5;
Zechariah 10:2), and Jehovah said, these have no master (Ahab
Falling), let them return every man to his house. ...
Micaiah therefore revealed the source unseen of the 400 prophets' falsehood; Jehovah, seen in real vision on His throne amidst His hosts, asked, who shall persuade Ahab to go up and
Fall at Ramoth Gilead? A lying spirit undertook to influence the 400 to Ahab's ruin (
Zechariah 13:2;
1 John 4:6)
Roads - The foundations were of stone, and when allowed to
Fall into disrepair were rough and slippery, and very trying to the nerves of travellers
Foreknowledge - "Before the creation of the world" Christ was "chosen" or "foreknown" to be the Redeemer (
1 Peter 1:20 ), a clear indication that God knew from the beginning that humankind would
Fall into sin
Powers - The uses of this biblical term
Fall into two major divisions: referring to "miraculous powers" and to angelic beings belonging to the hierarchy of heaven
Solitude - ...
The literature of early Western monasticism and much of the teaching of the later Mystics on the subject of solitude
Fall into line with the recorded experience of the Egyptians, and form a further commentary on the recorded facts of our Lord’s solitude
A - ...
A has in English, three sounds the long or slender, as in place, fate the broad, as in wall,
Fall, which is shortened in salt, what and the open, as in father, glass, which is shortened in rather, fancy
Act of Faith - They usually contrive the Auto to
Fall on some great festival, that the execution may pass with the more awe; and it is always on a Sunday
Mediator -
Colossians 1:21 ; and in the fulness of time he came into this world, obeyed the law, satisfied justice, and brought his people into a state of grace and favour; yea, into a more exalted state of friendship with God than was lost by the
Fall,
Ephesians 2:18 . He is a suitable, constant, willing, and prevalent Mediator; his mediation always succeeds, and is infallible
Fig Tree - And so much did the Lord Jesus, in his divine teaching,
Fall in with this popular way of conveying knowledge, that at one time we are told "without a parable spake he not unto them
Wicked - 32:10),
Fall by their devices (
Send - ” God was concerned lest after the
Fall Adam “put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life” (
Cassianus, Julius, a Heretical Teacher - Cassian also taught that man had not been originally created with a body like ours, but that these fleshly bodies were the "coats of skin" in which the Lord clothed our first parents after the
Fall
Micah, Book of - Judgements should
Fall upon Samaria, her wound was incurable; but they should also approach Judah and Jerusalem
Floor - After this, with the fork just described, they cast the whole some yards from thence, and against the wind; which driving back the straw, the corn and the ears not threshed out
Fall apart from it, and make another heap
Adoration - , by kneeling,
Falling prostrate, kissing the feet, hands, garments, &c. ...
The Persian manner of adoration, introduced by Cyrus, was by bending the knee, and
Falling on the face at the prince's feet, striking the earth with the forehead, and kissing the ground. These prelates finding a vehement disposition in the people to
Fall down before them, and kiss their feet, procured crucifixes to be fastened on their slippers; by which stratagem, the adoration intended for the pope's person is supposed to be transferred to Christ
Eating - As there were several sorts of meats, the use of which was prohibited, they could not conveniently eat with those who partook of them, fearing to receive pollution by touching such food, or if by accident any particles of it should
Fall on them
Vine - Jacob, in the blessing which he gave Judah, "Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes,"
Genesis 49:11 ; he showed the abundance of vines that should
Fall to his lot
Giant - Aquila translates nephilim, επιπιπτοντες , men who attack, who
Fall with impetuosity on their enemies, which renders very well the force of the term
Sacrament - Some sacraments are more necessary for salvation than others, thus Baptism is necessary for all; Penance for those who
Fall into grave post-Baptismal sin; Holy Orders to give sacred ministers to the Church
War - One of the evil fruits of the
Fall, and an appalling manifestation of the depravity of mankind,
Genesis 6:11-13 Isaiah 9:5 James 4:1-2 , often rendered apparently inevitable by the assaults of enemies, or commanded by God for their punishment
Charge - To rush on to
Fall on to attack, especially with fixed bayonets as, an army charges the enemy
Germany - As a result of the World War there has been a tendency to return to the Catholic Church, for the
Fall of the empire left Protestantism with no official head; many religious orders and congregations evicted under the imperial regime are returning, some to their original property
High Priest - The theological view of the high priesthood does not
Fall within the scope of this work
Masona, Bishop of Merida - 583, after the
Fall of Merida, and restored, not during the lifetime of Leovigild, as his enthusiastic biographer declares, but upon the accession of Reccared, who sought to reverse his father's policy
Noah - The parallel
2 Peter 2:4 refers to the first
Fall of the apostate angels, not to
Genesis 6:2. "There were giants in the earth in those days": nephilim , from a root to
Fall, "fallers on others," "fellers," tyrants; applied in
Numbers 13:33 to Canaanites of great stature. Death existed in the animal world before man's creation, for man's
Fall foreseen and the world reflected the sad image of the
Fall that was to be; moreover, the pre-existing death and physical evil had probably a connection with Satan's
Fall. ...
No record of the flood appears in the Egyptian monuments, but Plato (Timaeus, 21) testifies that the Egyptians believed that catastrophes from time to time by God's anger had visited all lands but Egypt; the last was a deluge submerging all lands but Egypt, 8,000 years before Solon's visit to Amosis, no rain
Falling in Egypt
Day of Judgment - ...
Whether Jesus Himself regarded the Judgment-day as involving the
Fall of Jerusalem, or whether He regarded the inevitable destruction of the Jewish State as one of the foreruoners of the Judgment, will remain a matter of dispute until the critical composition of Mark 13 is more precisely fixed. On the whole, however, in view of Jesus’ forecast of the punishment to come upon the Jewish people both to Galilee and in Jerusalem, it seems probable that He did in some precise way correlate the
Fall of Jerusalem with the eschatological Judgment. Had the disciples regarded the
Fall of Jerusalem as in any true sense the Judgment of the Parousia, it is inconceivable that the Fourth Gospel and the other portions of the NT written subsequent to a. The truth of Christianity in this, as in others of its phases, does not rise and
Fall with the finality of its expository and pedagogical concepts. And, further, it must be added that the early Church believed that it was possible even for those who, so far as could be judged by ordinary standards, had accepted Jesus as Christ, to
Fall away and be ultimately lost
Jeremiah - He prophesied under Josiah and his sons from the year 626 to the
Fall of Jerusalem in b. see) had already celebrated Nineveh’s downfall in his splendid verses. ...
The
Fall of Josiah in battle concluded the interval of freedom and prosperity enjoyed by Judah under his vigorous rule. Jeremiah denounces him vehemently; the wonder is that he did not
Fall a victim to the king’s anger, like his disciple Uriah (
Jeremiah 26:20-24 ;
Jeremiah 36:26-30 ;
Jeremiah 22:13-19 ). The revived national faith in Jehovah, which had rested on Josiah’s political success, was shaken by his
Fall; the character of the new king, and the events of his reign, furthered the reaction. 626 621; ( b ) the time of disillusion and silence, subsequent to Josiah’s reforms, 621 608; ( c ) the critical epoch, 608 604, opened by the
Fall of Josiah at Megiddo and closing in the fourth year of Jehoiakim after the battle of Carchemish and the advent of Nebuchadrezzar, when the paroxysm of the prophet’s soul was past and his vision of the future grew clear; ( d ) the stage of full illumination, attained during the calamities of the last days of Jerusalem. It effected no ‘circumcision of the heart,’ no inward turning to Jehovah, no such ‘breaking up of the
Fallow ground’ as Jeremiah had called for; the good seed of the Deuteronomic teaching was ‘sown among thorns’ (
Jeremiah 4:3-4 ), which sprang up and choked it. Like the Christian prophet who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jeremiah fled to the ideal and eternal from the horrors of the national downfall; as the earthly Zion sinks, the image of God’s true city rises on his soul
Israel, History of - Having united the north and the south, he established Jerusalem as the capital of the kingdom, contained the Philistines, expanded Israel's borders and her trade, and established a monarchical line that ruled in uninterrupted fashion, save one exception (Athaliah, 842-837), until the
Fall of Judah to Babylonia in 587. Her involvement in the larger world of nations meant that Israel was destined to
Fall politically more quickly than Judah. ” The
Fall of Samaria in 721 marked the end of Israel as a part of the United Monarchy. ...
Israel having
Fallen in the eighth century, Judah continued into the seventh and early sixth centuries. His revolt against Babylon in 588 led to the ultimate
Fall of Jerusalem, including the razing of the Jerusalem Temple by Nebuchadrezzar in 587
Temptation, Trial - James exhorts his readers to count it all joy when they
Fall into manifold ‘temptations’ (
Revelation 1:2). There are not a few instances in which ‘temptation’ means seduction to sin or exposure to the danger of
Falling before it. ‘They that desire to be rich
Fall into a temptation and a snare’ (
1 Timothy 6:9)
Lamentations - His appeal in both is to Jehovah for judgment (
Lamentations 3:64-66;
Jeremiah 11:20); Edom, exulting in Zion's
Fall, is warned that God's winecup of wrath shall pass away from Zion and be drunk by Edom (
Lamentations 4:21;
Jeremiah 25:15-21;
Jeremiah 49:12). ...
But now that the stroke has
Fallen, so far from exulting at the fulfillment of his predictions on the Jewish rulers who had persecuted him, all other feelings are swallowed up in intense sorrow. But Edom, now exulting in her
Fall, shall soon be visited in wrath, while Zion's captivity shall cease. ...
The fifth elegy (Lamentations 5) is prayer to Jehovah to consider "our reproach," slaves ruling His people, women ravished, young men grinding, children sinking under burdens of wood, "the crown" of the kingdom and priesthood "fallen," and Zion desolate
Obadiah, Book of - ...
The book contains two themes: (1) a prophetic Interpretation of an overwhelming disaster which has already befallen Edom (
Obadiah 1:1-7 ;
Obadiah 1:10-14 ;
Obadiah 1:16 b); (2) a prediction of a universal judgment and specifically of judgment on Edom which is now imminent (
Obadiah 1:8-9 ;
Obadiah 1:16 a,
Obadiah 1:16-21 ). The prophetic interpretation of Edom’s
Fall . In this calamity the writer sees Jahweh’s judgment on Edom for gloating over the
Fall of the Jews described as Edom’s brother (
Obadiah 1:12 ) and participating with foreign and alien enemies (
Obadiah 1:11 ) in the infliction of injuries on them. The section closes with the effective assertion of the retributive character of the disasters that had befallen Edom and still affect it ‘As thou hast done, is it done unto thee; thy dealing returns upon thine own head’ (
Obadiah 1:15 b)
Unbelief - ‘By their
Fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles’ (
Romans 11:11). But there is not in this Epistle the forecast of the glorious future yet in store when Israel would turn again, only an insistence upon the need of giving diligence to enter into that rest, ‘that no man
Fall after the same example of disobedience’ (
Hebrews 4:11)
Sadducees (2) - ’ It is always used to designate the political party of the Jewish aristocratic priesthood from the time of the Maccabees to the final
Fall of the Jewish State. The high priests at the head of the Sanhedrin were Sadducees, but they were always in a minority; though essentially a political party, they had apparently no independent existence apart from Jerusalem and its Temple, and with the
Fall of the Jewish State they disappear entirely from history
Assyria - Samaria would
Fall; and her
Fall might well admonish Judah. Accordingly, in the prophecies of Nahum and Zephaniah, we find denunciations predicting the entire downfall of this haughty power
Jonathan - Dutifully devoted to his father, whose constant companion he was (
1 Samuel 20:2;
1 Samuel 20:25), yet true to his bosom friend David, whose modest:, youthful beauty, and heroic bravery won his whole heart at their first meeting after Goliath's
Fall, against whom nevertheless Saul cherished such deadly spite. Jonathan's pious and filial self devotion appears in his readiness (like Isaac) to die at his father's command because of the rash adjuration of the latter; type of the Son of God, volunteering to die for us because Adam by eating the forbidden fruit had his "eyes opened" (Genesis 3;
1 Samuel 14:27;
1 Samuel 14:43); again in his continuing to the last faithful to Saul, though his father had attempted his life, and though he knew that his father's kingdom was doomed to
Fall and David to succeed
Paul Apprehended of Christ Jesus - Thine arrows are sharp in the hearts of the King's enemies, whereby the people
Fall under Thee!...
And thus it was that, as Saul journeyed, and came near Damascus, suddenly there shone down upon him a great light from heaven. But you will go over for yourselves all the cases of conversion you have ever heard about, or read about, and you will see for yourselves how full of all kinds of individuality, and variety, and intensity of interest, the work of conversion is, till like Mercy in The Pilgrim's Progress, you will
Fall in love with your own. Saul got his conversion out of that overthrow on the way to Damascus, while all his companions only got some bodily bruises from their
Fall, and the complete upsetting of their errand out of it
Shimei - David had nothing to do with the
Fall of Saul on Mount Gilboa; but the
Fall of Uriah in the front of the battle before Rabbah was ever before David, and never more so than it was that day as he crossed the Kedron, and passed through Gethsemane, and descended upon Bahurim. And when we awake to all that, we
Fall in with it all with unceasing wonder and with unceasing thanksgiving. And he will soon come to see God in everything that befalls him; and not God only, but God his Sanctifier and his Saviour. And all so secretly, so exquisitely, so intricately, so surely, and so infallibly working together of God
Barnabas - ...
But, as if to chasten our too great pride in Barnabas, even Barnabas, this so pentecostal and so apostolic man; even Barnabas, so full hitherto of the Holy Ghost and of faith-even he must
Fall at last, and that too all but fatally. For, what two chosen and fast friends in all the New Testament circle of friends, would you have wagered would be the last to
Fall out fiercely, and to turn their backs on one another for ever? Not Paul and Barnabas, at any rate, you would confidently and proudly have said. Whoever will quarrel, and
Fall out, and forget what they owe to one an other, that can never, by any possibility, happen to Paul and his old patron Barnabas-so you would have said
Devil - (1) It included the national deities, conceived as
Fallen, but not always as stripped of all power (
Exodus 12:12 ,
Isaiah 19:1 ;
Isaiah 24:21 ; cf. (2) It covered such of the angels as were thought to have been once attendants upon the true God, but to have
Fallen (
2 Peter 2:4 ,
Judges 1:6 , Ethiop. Possession is thrice alluded to (
John 7:20 ;
John 8:40 ;
John 10:28 ) as a suggested explanation of Christ’s work and influence; but evil generally is traced back rather to the activity of the devil (
John 6:70 , where ‘a devil’ is not a demon, but the word is used metaphorically much as ‘Satan’ in
Matthew 16:23 ,
John 13:2 ;
John 13:27 ), whose subordinates
Fall into the background. He prolongs the tribulation of the faithful who do not yield to him (
Revelation 2:18 ); after his great
Fall (
Revelation 12:9 ) he is goaded by defeat into more venomous activity (
Revelation 12:12 ), but eventually meets his doom (
Revelation 20:10 ). And the tradition of a revolt and
Fall of angels has this in its favour, that it fits in with the belief in devils and the devil, and provides a partially intelligible account of circumstances under which such a belief might take shape
Image of God - They maintain that humankind in the
Fall retained the image but lost the likeness
Evil - The serpent of the
Fall narrative cannot be pressed to mean more than a symbol of temptation, though the form which the temptation takes suggests hostility to the will of God external to the spirit of the woman (
2 Corinthians 11:3 , cf. This tendency, increased perhaps by Persian influence, becomes dominant in apocryphal literature (
2 Peter 2:4 and
Judges 1:6 are based on the Book of Enoch), where the
Fallen angels are a kingdom at war with the Kingdom of God
Essenes (2) - 150 to the
Fall of Jerusalem. On the other hand, they were rigid beyond all others in their observance of the Sabbath; and they went beyond the Pharisees in their absolute determinism, affirming ‘that fate governs all things, and that nothing befalls men but what is according to its determination’ (Josephus Ant
Games - The knucklebones of sheep were specially suited to deciding lots since they could
Fall in only four positions
Reprobate - It is in these solemn words that the writer sums up his urgent message to the Hebrew Christians to press on unto perfection and to be on their guard against spiritual sloth, which may issue in
Falling away. He speaks as if a
Fall from grace were possible even on the part of those who have experienced spiritual enlightenment and renewal, as if there were a point even in the spiritual life where backsliding becomes apostasy, and the man who crucifies the Son of God afresh and puts Him to an open shame is beyond repentance rejected, reprobate
Torah - Some of the precepts of the law, according to Jesus, were provided because of humanity's nature and
Fall short of God's perfect will (
Matthew 5:33-37 ;
Matthew 19:8-9 )
Judah -
Genesis 35:22 ), and Simeon and Levi, because of their barbarous conduct towards the Shechemites,
Fall before their enemies and into disfavour with their brethren, and Judah succeeds to the primogenitureship
Obadiah, Theology of - Obadiah, the shortest Old Testament book with only twenty-one verses, was probably written shortly after the
Fall of Judah and Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 b
Sleep - In the NT the noun ὕπνος means sleep proper, whilst the verbs καθεύδειν, ‘to lie down to rest,’ and κοιμᾶσθαι, ‘to
Fall asleep,’ are in most common use. Stephen is said to have
Fallen asleep when he died as the effects of stoning (
Acts 7:60). Paul, true believers live and die unto the Lord, under the symbolism of waking and sleeping respectively (
1 Thessalonians 5:10); hence the beautiful phrases occur, ‘fallen asleep in Christ’ (
1 Corinthians 15:18) and ‘those who sleep (or are
Fallen asleep) in Jesus’ (
1 Thessalonians 4:14). All the activities are lowered, the pulse
Falls about one-fifth, the circulation is slower, the process of nutrition is retarded and the excitation of the nerves diminished. It is not surprising, therefore, that sleep should appear to the onlooker as ‘Death’s twin-brother’ and that the old Hebrews should have committed their dead to the tomb with the reflexion that they had
Fallen asleep and were laid to rest with their fathers
Adam in the nt - Paul intervenes with a parenthesis dealing with those who lived before any specific commands were given in the Mosaic law, and yet who sinned, owing to the transmitted effects of Adam’s
Fall, and therefore died
Regeneration - ...
The holy Scriptures, with one voice, declare, that man by the
Fall of Adam lost all apprehension of the divine nature; he became virtually dead in trespasses and sins: so that the recovery from hence could only be effected by the quickening influences of the Holy Ghost
Moab, Moabites - Balaam was compelled by God to bless them instead of cursing them, buthe gave to Balak the fatal advice to try to weaken them by seductive alliances (which would cause them to
Fall under the Lord's discipline), and this, alas, was only too successful: cf
Geology of Palestine - The Western Table-land has streams rising in copious springs of water stored in the limestone strata; these streams on the Eastern side have a very rapid
Fall, owing to the great depth of the Ghôr. At that time the temperature was colder, and the rainfall higher; hence the valleys, now dry, were channels of running water
Acacius, Bishop of Caesarea - 98), his influence with the emperor Constantius was considerable enough to nominate Felix (the antipope) to the see of Rome at the
Fall of Liberius, A
Mercy - It is distinguished from love, thus: The object of love is the creature simply; the object of mercy is the creature
Fallen into misery. Parents love their children simply as they are their children; but if they
Fall into misery, love works in a way of pity and compassion: love is turned into mercy
Offer - 6:12: “He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall
Fall by the sword
Salutations - All the forms of salutation now observed appear to have been in general use in the days of our Lord; for he represents a servant as
Falling down at the feet of his master, when he had a favour to ask; and an inferior servant, as paying the same compliment to the first, who belonged, it would seem, to a higher class; "The servant, therefore, fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. When Jairus solicited the Saviour to go and heal his daughter, he fell down at his feet: the Apostle Peter, on another occasion, seems to have
Fallen down at his knees, in the same manner as the modern Arabs

Genesis 33:4 ;
Genesis 45:14 ;
Luke 15:20
Manna - Salmasius thinks this of the same kind which fed the children of Israel; and that the miracle lay, not in creating any new substance, but in making it
Fall duly at a set time every day throughout the whole year, and that in such plenty as to suffice so great a multitude
Babylon - After the
Fall of Nineveh, b
Assyr'ia, as'Shur, - In Scripture it is remarkable that we hear nothing of Assyria after the reign of Esarhaddon, and profane history is equally silent until the attacks began which brought about her downfall. The
Fall of Assyria, long previously prophesied by Isaiah, (
Isaiah 10:5-19 ) was effected by the growing strength and boldness of the Medes, about 625 B
Image - , not the essential and substantial form of them; the contrast has been likened to the difference between a statue and the shadow cast by it; (3) of the relations between God the Father, Christ, and man, (a) of man as he was created as being a visible representation of God,
1 Corinthians 11:7 , a being corresponding to the original; the condition of man as a
Fallen creature has not entirely effaced the "image;" he is still suitable to bear responsibility, he still has Godlike qualities, such as love of goodness and beauty, none of which are found in a mere animal; in the
Fall man ceased to be a perfect vehicle for the representation of God; God's grace in Christ will yet accomplish more than what Adam lost; (b) of regenerate persons, in being moral representations of what God is,
Colossians 3:10 ; cp
Symmachus q. Aurelius - He probably took part in the missions for the same purpose sent by the senate by Theodosius after the

Sleep - In the NT the noun ὕπνος means sleep proper, whilst the verbs καθεύδειν, ‘to lie down to rest,’ and κοιμᾶσθαι, ‘to
Fall asleep,’ are in most common use. Stephen is said to have
Fallen asleep when he died as the effects of stoning (
Acts 7:60). Paul, true believers live and die unto the Lord, under the symbolism of waking and sleeping respectively (
1 Thessalonians 5:10); hence the beautiful phrases occur, ‘fallen asleep in Christ’ (

It is not surprising, therefore, that sleep should appear to the onlooker as ‘Death’s twin-brother’ and that the old Hebrews should have committed their dead to the tomb with the reflexion that they had
Fallen asleep and were laid to rest with their fathers
Evil - The origins for sin and evil in both Old and New Testaments are traced to the activities of an evil creature, Satan (
1 John 3:8 : "the devil has been sinning from the beginning" ) and to human sin that led to a
Fall (
Romans 5:12-14 ) and banishment form Eden and the tree of life (Genesis 3 ). In
Jeremiah 49:23 , Hamath and Arpad hear evil tidings about the
Fall of Damascusevil to them because Damascus was their ally and her
Fall portends their own fates. Similarly,
Amos 3:6 asks, assuming a negative answer, if evil befalls a city, unless the Lord has done it. The "evil day" of
Amos 6:3 refers to the
Fall of Samaria and destruction of Israel as a judgment by God (for similar language for Judah, see
Jeremiah 16:10 )

Colossians 1:15-200 ). The fruitful efficiency known prior to the

Fallen order, but hope persists. Some may expect God to retreat and leave the sinful people alone to taste the misery that would follow, but grace-giving Yahweh provided clothing for
Fallen mankind (
Genesis 3:20-21 ). ...
New Testament The New Testament writers assumed the
Fallen state of both humans and nature
Jeremiah, Book of - ...
Jeremiah 2 — Jeremiah 6 This section is an appeal to Jerusalem, with exhortations to repentance, and warnings as to what had befallen Israel. Zedekiah gave him some relief; but on foretelling the
Fall of the city he was put into a dungeon, where he sank in the mire. Judgements were to
Fall upon Egypt, the Philistines, Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, Damascus, Kedar, Elam, and Babylon
Nin'Eveh - Although only the general plan of the ground-floor can now be traced, it is evident that the palaces had several stories built of wood and sun-dried bricks, which, when the building was deserted and allowed to
Fall to decay, gradually buried the lower chambers with their ruins, and protected the sculptured slabs from the effects of the weather. (
Nahum 3:18 ) The fullest and the most vivid and poetical picture of Nineveh's ruined and deserted condition is that given by Zephaniah, who probably lived to see its
Fall
Jeremiah - ...
A unit of eight chapters then traces events in chronological sequence from the final siege of Jerusalem to the settlement of the Jews in Egypt: Jeremiah’s imprisonment and rescue (37:1-38:28); the
Fall of Jerusalem (39:1-18); the appointment of Gedaliah and his brutal assassination (40:1-41:18); the migration to Egypt (42:1-43:7); and Jeremiah’s message to the Jews in Egypt (43:8-44:30). An historical appendix details matters relating to the
Fall of Jerusalem (52:1-34)

Although
Falling down before a superior in Israel was common, it is easier in this context to understand why Mordecai did not

Sardis - But centuries of material prosperity made the Lydian character soft and voluptuous, and the
Fall of CrCEsus, whom Solon warned in vain of the fickleness of fortune, became to the Greeks the supreme illustration of the danger of careless security
Jehovah - Εlohim (the plural expressing the fullness of God's powers) is appropriate to creation (Genesis 1 - 2:3); JEHOVAH ELOHIM to paradise and to the covenant of grace at the
Fall; the combination identifies the Jehovah of the moral government with the Elohim of creation
Galilee - After the
Fall of Jerusalem, Galilee became the centre of Rabhinic life. Owing to moisture derived from the Lehanon mountains, Galilee is the best-watered district of Palestine, and abounds in streams and springs, though the actual rainfall is little greater than that of Judæa
Inspiration - Although the doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible does not properly
Fall within the scope of a Bible Dictionary, a brief summary of views held in the Christian Church may be added: ( a ) The Theory of verbal inspiration affirms that each human author was but the mouthpiece of God, and that in every word, therefore, God speaks
Glory - While humans may not have entirely lost this God-given glory through their

Fall into three groups, which are characteristic ( a ) of the oldest literary sources, viz
Head - Hence the head is the chief or more important part, and is used for the whole person, in the phrase, let the evil
Fall on my head
Fear - So soon as their eyes are opened, and their consciences quickened, they discover that it is a fearful thing (φοβερόν) to
Fall into the hands of the living God (
Hebrews 10:31)
Irenaeus, Bishop of Tyre - Domnus turned for counsel to Theodoret, who replied that "it was better to
Fall under the ill-will of man than to offend God and wound one's own conscience
Bezer - All the days his High Priest liveth no condemnation can
Fall upon him; and that is for ever!...
That the appointment of those cities (which were six in number), had an eye to Christ cannot be doubted, because a provision for the manslayer, if referring only to temporal things, might have been made in a much easier and more simple way. And it was a law in Israel we are told, that one day in every year there were persons sent to repair the roads leading to them, and to remove all stumblingblocks or stones, which might by time have
Fallen in the way; and to see also, that the posts of direction, which were set up at every corner leading to the city, were carefully preserved, and the name Miklat, (that is, refuge) legible upon them
Judas Iscariot - Stung to the quick at their refusal to take back the money, while they condemned himself, he went to the temple, cast down the whole sum in the treasury, or place for receiving the offerings of the people; and, after he had thus returned the wages of iniquity, he retired to some lonely place, not far, perhaps, from the scene of Peter's repentance; and, in the frenzy of despair, and at the instigation of the devil, hanged himself; crowning with suicide the murder of his master and his friend; rejecting his compassionate Saviour, and plunging his own soul into perdition! In another place it is said that, ‘falling headlong, he burst asunder, and all his bowels gushed out,'
Acts 1:18 . Both these accounts might be true: he might first have hanged himself from some tree on the edge of a precipice; and, the rope or branch breaking, he might be dashed to pieces by the

Falls, of which no less than twenty-seven are specified by Lieutenant Lynch as dangerous even to his metallic boats. The sea of Tiberias lies 312 (according to Lynch, 653) feet below the level of the Mediterranean, and the Dead Sea 1,316 feet; hence the
Fall of the Jordan between the two seas Isaiah 1,000 feet
How the Prophetic Gift Was Received - Immediately upon the
Fall, hopes of recovery and salvation are held out, but the manner in which this salvation is to be effected is left altogether indefinite

Falls into clearings of myself, my guilt into indignation, my sin into fear, my transgression into vehement desire, and my pollution into revenge. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I
Fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me
Sea - Later they cast the cargo of wheat into the sea (
Acts 27:38); and again they loosened the cables of the anchors and let them
Fall off into the sea (
Acts 27:40). Thus, no hurt is to befall the earth or the sea until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads; no physical convulsions are to take place until the saints of God are secured (
Revelation 7:1-3). At the
Fall of Babylon (i
Mary - For we road that at the creation, the Lord God caused a deep sleep to
Fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof: and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman. The original promise at the
Fall was, that Christ should be of the "seed of the woman;" and accordingly we find the prophet, in the after-ages, commissioned by the Holy Ghost to tell the church that "a virgin should conceive, and bear a son. " (
Isaiah 7:14) Now observe the expression conceive: not a conception, as in the ordinary way of generation, in our
Fallen race; for this is by corrupt and sinful creatures; and therefore David very properly saith, "in sin did my mother conceive me
Angel - What the evil angels possessed before their
Fall the like powers, which they are still occasionally permitted to exercise for the punishment of wicked nations, seems also evident. " Speculations on the cause and occasion of their
Fall are all vain and trifling
Parousia (2) - It is at least clear that certain passages in the discourse point to the judgment on Israel as a nation and the impending
Fall of Jerusalem and its Temple-worship, whilst it is equally clear that other passages refer to a crisis, certainly to be looked for, but still lying in the distance (
Matthew 24:43-50, Mark 13:34-37). Manifestly Jesus took into account the gradual evolution of human affairs in contemplating the triumph of His Kingdom, while at the same time His faith in that triumph was so real and assured, and His vision of it so intensely clear, that it seemed to Him imminent, on the eve of fulfilment; and when He spoke under this feeling His disciples gathered the impression that it was close at hand, and they naturally understood the supreme event to be synchronous with the
Fall of Jerusalem, though in tins, as it proved, they were mistaken. On the other hand, there are passages in the Eschatological Discourse in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 which seem to represent the final coming as preceded by certain manifest signs which shall give evidence of its nearness—the appearance of false Christs (
Matthew 24:5, Mark 13:6;
Mark 13:22), wars, earthquakes, and famines (
Mark 13:11-136
Mark 13:7-10), persecutions and tribulations (
Matthew 24:9, 1618389629_73), the darkened sun and
Falling stars (
Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24-25)
Greek Language - Later, the
Fall of Constantinople ushered in the Modern Greek Period. As should be expected, the literary style of the writers of the New Testament
Falls somewhere between these two extremes
Devote, Devoted - In fact Hosea prophesied the
Fall of the house of Jehu for his wholesale shedding of blood in the Valley of Jezreel (1:4)
Behmenists - How some angels, and all men, are
Fallen from God, and their first state of a divine triune life in him; what they are in their
Fallen state, and the difference between the
Fall of angels and that of Man. How the earth, stars, and elements, were created in consequence of the
Fallen angels. How and why sin and misery, wrath, and death, shall only reign for a time, till the love, the wisdom, and the power of God shall in a supernatural way (the mystery of God made man) triumph over sin, misery, and death; and make
Fallen man rise to the glory of angels, and this material system shake off its curse, and enter into an everlasting union with that heaven from whence it fell
Akeldama - In Acts, on the other hand, (a) nothing is said of a refunding of the money by Judas; (b) his death was not self-inflicted, nor was it caused by hanging; it is described as due to a
Fall and a consequent rupture of the abdomen; (c) the held was bought by Judas himself, and not by the priests; (d) nothing is said of its former use as a ‘potter’s field,’ nor (e) of the purpose for which it was used after the death of Judas; (f) the blood which gave its name to the field was that of Judas, by which it was defiled, for (g) the field Akeldama is identified with the place of his death, a fact of which there is no mention in Matthew
Devil, Satan, Evil, Demonic - ...
Satan, the chief of the
Fallen angels, is mentioned in a number of places in the Old Testament. It is clear that from the very moment of the creation of this world that Satan and
Fallen angels were on the scene, rebels against God. Pride seems to have been the cause of his
Fall. ...
Matthew, Mark, and Luke clearly accept and teach a doctrine of a personal Satan and his agents called
Fallen angels or demons (
Mark 3:22 )
Astrology - Consequently, it is only to be expected that when people

Witness - The solitary eagle flying across the sky cries with a great voice, ‘Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth’ (the three-fold woe possibly corresponding to the three plagues yet to
Fall upon the earth). ’ οὐαί introduces each section of the three-fold dirge of lamentation uttered by the mourners of
Fallen Babylon (
Revelation 18:10;
Revelation 18:16;
Revelation 18:19) and is followed by the nominative-the broken construction suggesting the emotion of the mourners
Seed (2) - The latter is compared to the vital germ or grain of the plant, which, through no fault of its own or of the sower, may fail to germinate, owing to the unpromising nature of the ground on which it chances to

2 Samuel 23 gives "the last words of David," wherein he exults in the infallibility of God's covenant, notwithstanding the failure in his house. Three punishments were offered to David by the mouth of the prophet, and he chose to

When the Philistines placed the ark in the temple of their god, Dagon, at Ashdod, the next day they found that the image of their deity had
Fallen to the floor and broken in pieces before the ark of the Lord (1 Samuel 5 )
God - The reconciling work God had engaged in since the
Fall (Genesis 3 ) assumed institutional status in the Torah. Israel's history concludes with the
Fall of Samaria in 722 b. , and Judah's history dips into a hiatus called the exile with the
Fall of Jerusalem in 586 b. The Book of Lamentations stands as an assessment of Judah's
Fall and a witness to Yahweh's mercy, which is renewed every morning (1618389629_74 )
Gospels - Harnack thinks that it must have been written neat the
Fall of Jerusalem, but not necessarily before it. His Gospel must be prior to that date, and
Fall between 30 and 50. *
Matthew, Gospel According to - Matthew emphasizes the close connexion between the Fall of Jerusalem and the Coming of the Son of Man (Matthew 24:29), thus limiting the period during which the gospel could be preached to the Gentiles, St. ...
Of several of these parables it will rightly be felt that, as originally spoken, they had a wider meaning and scope than that here given, and one which is inconsistent with the narrow limits of the Kingdom to be inaugurated immediately after the Fall of Jerusalem. It must have been written by a Jewish-Christian, probably by a Jewish-Christian of Palestine, and it cannot date from long after the Fall of Jerusalem. For it is inconceivable that any one should so arrange the words of Christ as to convey the impression that He had taught that He would return as Son of Man immediately after the Fall of Jerusalem, if many years had elapsed since that event
Evolution (Christ And) - This conception of the Person and work of Christ, while it
Falls into line with the Evolutionary idea in one direction, appears to
Fall foul of it in another, because of the claim it makes that there was in the nature of Christ an incommensurable factor, incapable of being explained by the laws of organic life, or by human psychology,—manifesting itself in a life of unique goodness and power, begun by a free special act of God in the Virgin-birth, and consummated by the objective Resurrection of our Lord from the dead. The first makes the Christ the consummation and crown of the process of cosmic Evolution, and postulates the Incarnation as its necessary climax; the second occupies the old standpoint of Christian theology from the beginning, that, whether the Incarnation lay implicit or not in the process, it was historically conditioned by the fact of the sinful and ‘fallen’ state of humanity. It presupposes that a lapse, or at least a fatal halt, had occurred in the upward spiritual development of the race, and that all further progress was barred by the poisoning of the wells of progress by sin (see
Fall). The future of the world lies with Christ, unless it is to
Fall back on a lower stage of ethical and spiritual development on its way to utter disintegration and decadence
Micah, Theology of - Micah concludes these oracles with the climactic prediction that Jerusalem will
Fall (3:12; cf. 1-4), and so the nation
Falls into anarchy (vv. Under the heat of the Lord's glowing wrath and under his heavy tread, the eternal and majestic mountains melt and flow like hot wax, and the arable plains where humankind finds its immediate source of life split apart like waterfalls roaring down a rocky gorge (v.

Epicureans - Every sensuous impression received by the mind is produced by something other than itself, and is infallibly true. But Epicurus claimed that the only movement of which we are aware is that of the
Fall of bodies to the earth-downward movement. This theory also accounts not only for our visions of the ghosts of departed friends, whose secondary particles may float about long after their death, but also for our perceptions of the gods; for, though they are composed of much finer particles than mortals, their ‘films’ may
