Topical Encyclopedia

The term "mentioned" in the context of the Bible refers to the act of bringing something to mind or making reference to a person, place, event, or concept within the biblical narrative. The Bible, as a divinely inspired text, often uses the act of mentioning to highlight significant theological truths, historical events, or moral teachings.

Old Testament Usage

In the Old Testament, the act of mentioning is often associated with remembrance and covenant. For example, in Genesis 8:1, it is stated, "But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark, and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided." Here, the mention of Noah signifies God's faithfulness to His covenant and His active involvement in the preservation of creation.

The prophets frequently mention past events or figures to call the people of Israel back to faithfulness. In Isaiah 43:26, God invites His people to "review the past for Me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence." This act of mentioning serves as a reminder of God's past deeds and the people's covenant obligations.

New Testament Usage

In the New Testament, mentioning often serves to affirm the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the continuity of God's redemptive plan. For instance, in Matthew 1:22-23, the birth of Jesus is mentioned in connection with the prophecy from Isaiah: "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel' (which means, 'God with us')."

The apostle Paul frequently mentions individuals and churches in his epistles, highlighting the importance of community and mutual encouragement in the Christian faith. In Philippians 1:3, Paul writes, "I thank my God every time I remember you," indicating the deep bond and gratitude he feels for the believers in Philippi.

Theological Significance

The act of mentioning in the Bible is not merely a literary device but carries profound theological significance. It underscores the importance of memory in the life of faith, reminding believers of God's past faithfulness and His promises for the future. Mentioning also serves as a means of instruction, exhortation, and encouragement, as seen in the epistles where Paul and other apostles mention specific individuals and communities to model Christian virtues and strengthen the faith of their readers.

Practical Implications

For contemporary believers, the concept of mentioning can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth. By recalling and mentioning God's past works and promises, Christians can find strength and encouragement in their daily walk. Additionally, mentioning fellow believers in prayer and conversation fosters a sense of community and accountability, reflecting the interconnectedness of the body of Christ.

In summary, the act of mentioning within the biblical text serves as a reminder of God's ongoing relationship with His people, the fulfillment of His promises, and the call to live in faithful response to His word.
