This concept can be seen in various narratives and teachings throughout Scripture, where individuals or groups find themselves deeply involved in circumstances that challenge their faith, morality, or understanding of God's will.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the idea of being "plunged" into a situation is often associated with the consequences of sin or disobedience. For example, the Israelites frequently found themselves plunged into distress or captivity as a result of turning away from God's commandments. The Book of Judges repeatedly illustrates this cycle, where Israel's disobedience leads to oppression by surrounding nations, only for God to raise a judge to deliver them when they repent.<br><br>The imagery of being plunged into deep waters is also used metaphorically in the Psalms to describe overwhelming distress or danger. <a href="/psalms/69-2.htm">Psalm 69:2</a> states, "I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me." This vivid imagery captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by life's trials and the need for divine rescue.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of being plunged is often related to spiritual transformation and baptism. Baptism itself is a symbolic act of being plunged into water, representing the believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. <a href="/romans/6-4.htm">Romans 6:4</a> explains, "We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life."<br><br>The Apostle Paul also uses the idea of being plunged into spiritual realities to describe the believer's immersion into the life of Christ. In <a href="/galatians/3-27.htm">Galatians 3:27</a> , he writes, "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." This plunging into Christ signifies a complete transformation and a new identity in Him.<br><br><b>Moral and Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>The notion of being plunged into sin or temptation is a recurring theme in the Bible, highlighting the dangers of moral compromise and the need for vigilance. <a href="/james/1-14.htm">James 1:14-15</a> warns, "But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." This passage underscores the progression from temptation to sin, illustrating how one can be plunged into spiritual peril through unchecked desires.<br><br>Conversely, the Bible also speaks of being plunged into God's grace and mercy. <a href="/ephesians/2-4.htm">Ephesians 2:4-5</a> declares, "But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!" Here, the believer is depicted as being immersed in the richness of God's mercy, highlighting the transformative power of His grace.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of being "plunged" in the Bible serves as a powerful metaphor for the human experience, encompassing both the perils of sin and the profound depths of God's grace. Whether describing the consequences of disobedience or the transformative act of baptism, the imagery of plunging invites believers to reflect on their spiritual journey and the ever-present need for God's intervention and guidance.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Plunge.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/augustine/city_of_god/chapter_1_that_the_disobedience_of.htm"><span class="l">That the Disobedience of the First Man Would have <b>Plunged</b> all Men <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Chapter 1."That the Disobedience of the First Man Would Have <b>Plunged</b> All Men into<br> the Endless Misery of the Second Death, Had Not the Grace of God Rescued <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../augustine/city of god/chapter 1 that the disobedience of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/leo/writings_of_leo_the_great/chapter_xxxiii_how_those_are.htm"><span class="l">How those are to be Admonished who Commit Very Small but Frequent <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> How those are to be admonished who commit very small but frequent faults, and those<br> who, while avoiding such as are very small, are sometimes <b>plunged</b> in such <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../leo/writings of leo the great/chapter xxxiii how those are.htm</font><p><a href="/library/augustine/the_confessions_and_letters_of_st/chapter_iii_that_the_cause_of.htm"><span class="l">That the Cause of Evil is the Free Judgment of the Will.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> So, then, trying to draw the eye of my mind from that pit, I was <b>plunged</b> again<br> therein, and trying often, was as often <b>plunged</b> back again. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../augustine/the confessions and letters of st/chapter iii that the cause of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/gordon/quiet_talks_on_power/making_and_breaking_connections.htm"><span class="l">Making and Breaking Connections.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> think of the act of immersion-baptism from the side of the object immersed because<br> the action is on the side of the thing or person which is <b>plunged</b> down into <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../gordon/quiet talks on power/making and breaking connections.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kingston/the_seven_champions_of_christendom/chapter_nine_the_adventures_of.htm"><span class="l">The Adventures of Saint Patrick of Ireland.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> At last, losing patience, he sprang to his feet on the back of the monster, and<br> <b>plunged</b> his sword into one of his eyes, just as he was about to make a snap at <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../kingston/the seven champions of christendom/chapter nine the adventures of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/augustine/confessions_and_enchiridion/book_seven_the_conversion_to.htm"><span class="l">Book Seven the Conversion to Neoplatonism. ...</span></a> <br><b>...</b> So then, trying to draw the eye of my mind up out of that pit, I was <b>plunged</b> back<br> into it again, and trying often was just as often <b>plunged</b> back down. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../augustine/confessions and enchiridion/book seven the conversion to.htm</font><p><a href="/library/francis/treatise_on_the_love_of_god/chapter_xiv_that_the_holy.htm"><span class="l">That the Holy Light of Glory Will Serve for the Union of the <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> a fountain, Theotimus, which we shall not contemplate afar off as we do now by faith,<br> but which we shall see by the light of glory while <b>plunged</b> and swallowed <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../francis/treatise on the love of god/chapter xiv that the holy.htm</font><p><a href="/library/augustine/the_confessions_of_saint_augustine/chapter_iii_but_i_also.htm"><span class="l">But I Also as Yet, Although I Held and was Firmly Persuaded that <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> So then endeavouring to draw my soul's vision out of that deep pit, I was again<br> <b>plunged</b> therein, and endeavouring often, I was <b>plunged</b> back as often. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../augustine/the confessions of saint augustine/chapter iii but i also.htm</font><p><a href="/library/arnobius/the_seven_books_of_arnobius_against_the_heathen/7_in_the_first_place.htm"><span class="l">In the First Place, You Yourselves, Too, See Clearly That...</span></a> <br><b>...</b> For, to pass by divine things, and those <b>plunged</b> in natural obscurity, can any man<br> explain that which in the Ph??drus [3440] the well-known Socrates cannot <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../the seven books of arnobius against the heathen/7 in the first place.htm</font><p><a href="/library/athanasius/select_works_and_letters_or_athanasius/section_8_the_origin_of.htm"><span class="l">The Origin of Idolatry is Similar.
